GGD Studio Cabs: Cali Oversized & Zilla vs Bogren Digital vs ML Sound Lab | IR Impulse Response

- Sound comparison of my fav impulse response cab sims from GGD (Cali Oversized / Zilla), Bogren Digital (Rainbows & Chainsaws) and ML Sound Lab (Mega Oversize/Traditional/Djent). The cabinet very often is an underrated part of the signal chain and in my opinion the key to a great guitar sound. After trying out allot of different impulse response solutions over the last decade these are the ones I like and use the most. Today we compare some of the sounds from these IR packs by putting them on the guitar tracks in one of my songs.
Which sounds from these impulse responses packs do you like most? Have you tried some of the cab sims from ML Sound Lab, GGD, Bogren Digital or any other software manufacturer yourself and have a favorite already? Looking forward to hear your thoughts and what experience you made.
I hope you enjoyed my quick comparison of my favorite impulse response cab packs from Bogren Digital, GGD and ML Sound Lab.

Dude! You nailed it in every aspect. Congratulations for your hard work. Keep up.
Thanks so much for your insane feedback Andres, happy you like it 😊
I've loved the "In Your Face and Further" IR in my own mixes forever, but I think the Cali Cab (which I've also used before) sounds best here. Great job!
Thanks for your comment and happy you liked the comparison!
Very cool riffing & great comparison. Thanks for doing it. Want them all LOL! But probably will start with Zilla based on this.
Thanks for your great feedback Joe, happy you liked the comparison :D. Had similar "problem" with liking each of them and ended up buying all ;). If I had to get just one I would probably end up with Zilla as well :)
While Kohle's IRs might not have been as ideal for this mix, I enjoyed the smoothness and roar that power chords had when they rang out, like at 3:40. Nice playing and thanks for the demonstration, Sebastian.
Thanks allot for your great feedback Mo :)! I agree that the Kohle IRs didn't worked here as well as I've experienced in other songs/mixes from me in the past. I still like to use them regularly and have them e.g. in quite some of my quad cortex patches :D
man awesome riffs!!
Wow, thanks allot Ashwanth for your fantastic feedback, happy you like it 🤘
@@MassiveSoundProductions I already have ggd zilla and ml sound lab mikko …but since seeing ur video I’m gonna purchase the bigren also !!
@@ashwanthjerry2210 Will complement great with the other IRs from GGD and ML Sound Lab. Keep me updated how you like them :)
holy shiiiit this sounds amazing
Thanks for your insane feedback Unai, happy you like it :)
This is REALLY tough... idk what to get! The Cali sounds really clear and punchy, but the others were great as well.... I'm wondering what the new Jens Bogren sounds like? It's supposed to be mix ready with no mic placement needed, just plug in and record. This is tough. Great video btw, thanks for doing this. I'm really liking the Cali so far 💜
Thanks for you great feedback and very happy you like my little video :)! As you said with the Cali GGD released another fantastic plugin. I think you cant go wrong with either of these IR solutions, they all sound great and I`m extremely thankful for such great sounding choices. The Jens Bogren IR packs contain only some (roughly a dozen) of IRs but are always pre-mixed and ready to go and still give you some very useful and different sounds in your hands. But as you can hear the GGD and ML Sound Lab (my personal low budget kings) are also 100% mix ready and sound fantastic.
all suit fine. the tough part is deciding. thanks
You can't go wrong with any of these. In the end the decision is on how much you want to spend and if you want flexibility (GGD), some ready to go sounds (Bogren) or something inbetween which doesnt cost allot (ML) 😊
Mega os my fav
That was really cool, so do you need some sort of head sim with these IR’s? (Example archetype Gojira) and if so.. does changing the settings on the head do much to the sound? I’m pretty new to sims
Thanks for your great feedback MBDrums! Impulse Responses like these are usually a combination of one or more cabs with some micing. What you need is a amp sim, e.g. from Neural DSP. Here you switch off the cab section and use the IR instead. The cab resp the IR is the most important part of the sound but the setting of the amp changes the sound like you are used from a real life situation. Hope this helps :)
@@MassiveSoundProductions that definitely helps out!! Thank you so much for the detailed response :)
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums Pleasure 😊
How do these compare to the ML Reflex?
which one did you prefer when you did this
That's a good question which isn't easy to answer. As these are my favorite IRs I can very well recommend them all but if I had to choose one I would probably go for the GGD Zilla being super flexible and always great sounding.
Zilla for the win
An insane sounding cab which was stunningly captured by Nolly 😎
Bogren Digital is the one I liked the less (I didn't like it indeed :D). But the other packages can provide great tones!
I honestly also liked them the least on this song / guitar tuning as well. GGD and ML Sound Lab just seem to fit better here. This maybe also shows one of the weakness of the premixed Bogren Digital IRs, being less flexible than the other. Whereas on some recordings they can be mind blowing on some other they might not work as great.
@@MassiveSoundProductions ML sounded mushy in low mid. the ggd cali too much in the 3K. I prefer the zilla
@@ctld5266 Thanks for your comment Ct Ld. The great thing is that all three offer so many sound options that with some tweaking probably everyone who is into heavy music will find some great tones :D
Cali seem to be the more balanced and mid focus i like it
Zilla definitely wins it for me. I find it sounds a lot punchier, clearer, and less muddy than the others.
Thanks allot for your comment Wahid! The Zilla sounds absolutely insane but I also liked the Cali and ML Sound Lab IRs quite allot in this song. Good to have such great choices :D
how did you process ezbass
Hi David, I didn't do much here, only a bit of compression, EQ (high pass) and some unwished frequencies with soothe2.
GGD sounds so great. But lose a litter high
4:41 cali perfect
5:22 mega trad
5:28 mega os
5:33 mega djent
Quite a lot of ML sound lab ones :)
