A 'readme' file on the Impulse product can be opened when you connect the product to your computer via USB. Here you can read the following about Global EQ: IMPULSE IR LOADER has a global EQ compensation tool on board. This consists of two EQ filters which can be tweaked, LO and HI. This can compensate for the colour of different outboard gear without reloading a different set of IR. It can also be used for fast tweaking when using IMPULSE in a studio or headphones setup without reloading a new IR. LO - Low shelving filter with a boost equal to +/- 12dB at 100Hz - This filter will affect the low frequencies of your signal HI - High shelving filter with a boost equal to +/- 12dB at 10kHz - This filter will affect the high frequencies of your signal. 1.

If + or - values have been set on either of the global EQ filters, an EQ symbol will be displayed on-screen during the operation To reset the filters to neutral (0), repeat steps 1 - 3 and set the LEVEL control at 12 O'Clock We've included a dead zone around 12 O'Clock to make it easy to set your GLOBAL EQ at neutral If both LO and HI filters are set to 0, the EQ symbol will not be displayed during operation. NOTE: When the GLOBAL EQ filters are both set to 0, they are completely transparent and have no effect on your loaded IR
Hi Henning, Thank You for making this awesome video! The Impulse actually does have Global EQ. The EQ has HI and LOW filters. Press both navigation buttons simultaneously to enter the EQ menu.
I love my TC IR. So simple. The celestion IRs are okay out of the box. I've now loaded some York Audio. Great. And like others have said, there is an EQ by holding both arrow buttons. You can also play snake on it.
This little box does a nice long 200ms IR; with a lot of the simple IR loaders it’s more like 20ms so the right IR’s should be able to capture the sound of a mic’d amp in a room.

i love acoustic IRs i use a tonedexter pedal to make a IR that is perfectly fit for my guitar and a match eq of a miced sound and then i send a sweep through the tone dexter to get a IR that fits perfectly to my acoustic guitar and now works on every IR loader ... totally recommended
Same here - I currently have a Mooer TresCab, and it actually works very well with Hi-Gain Pedals. I've run a Mooer Black Secret right into the TresCab and direct into my Interface, and it sounded great.
The radar models power amp, tubes, and mics and has eq as well as on board IRs. And you can load 3rd party IRs but can't use the tubes or mic or eq on 3rd party IRs. This TC unit sounds a bit crisp and direct to me compared to the Radar.
I think its simplicity is its strength. We have become bogged down with too many choices. Case in point, thousands in the AxeFX. How many actual cabs do people have around the house to choose from? Also, I love that they are industry standard Celestion IR's. Great review Henning!
there is a logic behind it… using the same guitar doesn’t make it clear that it is a different part and function in the song… another guitar visualizes a different part and also makes the video more interesting
I still prefer my mooer radar. Having my ir loader cab sim turned on and off or the ability to switch from one ir to another i think is very unnecessary. Mooer radar is far more tweakable, and has all the Essential stuff a pro guitarist and a music producer would need even if it has just one knob , it can do all the tweaks you need except for loading iRs of ur choice which requires computer. Radar has a power amp section which lets you choose from 4 different tubes adjustable with input and output level plus adjustable presence too. Radar also lets you choose between multiple mic simulators that is equipped with adjustments for volume, mic distance or placement towrds the speakrs of cab. Radar also has 3 eq sections, for guitar, bass and a powerful 4 frequency parametric eq. Radar also has a very high headroom when it comes to output. With all these essentials you can come up with your own unique tone which others may not have. Radar is a bit cheaper too.
Btw, some may comment radar only has 23 milliseconds of samples.... 23 milliseconds is already enough and impressive to simulate cabs and is approved by pete thorn and many others.
I use a Strymon iridium as my cab sim, at the end of my board for direct recording, and because of the Iridium’s headphone input, for silent practise and playing. I use Origin pedals as my amp sims, and since their IR library launch, I’m looking for an IR loader with more than the 3 IR slots offered by the Iridium. How did they fail to put a headphone input on the Impulse?? Is there a way around this? So I could still use it for silent headphone playing? Is there a similar high quality IR loader WITH a headphone out you’d recommend?
How about Flamma cab FS07 or two notes Cab M+ I have a hold Line6 pod pro and I want to improve the cab simulation in stereo thanks for advice and merry Christmas to everyone ! 🎄
The Flamma like the Mooer is about 20-25ms IR length - this is 200. Not certain about the Cab M+, but if it's near the price of the Boss unit, then the Boss goes up to 500ms and puts amp and cab Its together.....
I compared some IRs of the Ownhammers new Essentials pack and they always sound shit when you run them through the Flamma (in my case), because those pedals are not made for the length of 200 ms and more. In the higher frequencies you get just white noise and lose all transients of the guitar. Unfortunately the Flamma could be very nice for this price range (Stereo) but you can't use it for recording. I had to send it back because it is worthless in a DAW.
It’s a pity he said there is no eq functionality in it because there is. Hold down the arrow buttons either side of the volume to access a low boost and cut and a high boost and cut.
Can you go into this pedal from the red box of the Hughes&Kettner Ampman and then directly into a PA for playing a live show? Will it work, and will it sound good? :-)
I have a nice Marshall tube amplifier with great sound at moderate volume levels. But I live in an apartment and I would like to maintain a healthy relationship with my neighbours. Since I play mostly late in the evening, I am stuck to using the emulated headphone output. Even though I still love my amplifier, the emulated output's sound quality is absolute horse shit. After I saw your review on this pedal, I was convinced this product in combination with an audio interface would be the perfect solution for playing (and recording) silently at home. Let me tell you, since I own this pedal, I actually never use my amplifier anymore, lol. Thanks!
Aside from the obvious 1x15, which was the other cab for bass?

Have you tried the tonedexter pedal? it is the perfect solution for acoustic tones imo. Just because it makes an IR that fits perfectly to your own guitar. Fishman aura and prebuilt IRs are always a IR of a match eq that is not made with your own guitar and therefore never fits perfectly. with the tonedexter you can do that and afterwards you can make a normal IR out of it
Unfortunately..... this pedal doesn't have a wet/dry mix ;-( if you want to use IRs to improve the sound of acoustic instruments with pickups, then you may blend your raw sounds with the sound from the IR. The Line 6 Helix IRs have a wet/dry, and the Axe Fx III has this feature as well. IRs are for so much more than just amp/cab simulations. Acoustic musicians always get - nothing. Think outside the Amp/Camp Box.
I really don't understand all this newer technology- new to me anyway, I guess it's not technically "new" any longer. Anyway- could you run pretty much any preamp pedal into this thing you want? Or does it need to be a digital modeler of some kind? Like- if I had an amp in a box style pedal- an analogue one- can I run it into this thing and then what- out to FRFR speakers? Or does it need to run out to a powered board or some kind of power amp? It's hard for me to believe that little pedal is pushing many watts. Are FRFR speakers self-powered- meaning they basically have a power amp built into them? I'm lost.
Does this have a balanced output, or would I need to use a DI box between this and a mixing desk? Would be even better with a little 3.5mm MIDI socket for switching of presets.

is it possible to mix the signal of the instrumento or the IR is only "on/off"?

I'd like to see a shootout between this and the Mooer Radar (same product a couple years old)

@@taxo I'd say it works with both.

KILLER! Seriously, vocals great. You were most EXELLENT, the overdubs were punchy!! Kool Pauly. Oh cool simple product too
I’d love to see a review on that Revolt you’re rocking. I pre ordered but won’t be getting my unit until next week.
coming Jan 5th
I'm sure it will be REVOLTING!

love the sound
Love the track. Shades of Rainbow, Maiden, Savatage. Solo was epic Henning.
Happy holidays!
impulse loaders battle video is a nice idea
These intro songs are like "how many different guitars can i":
1) use in one song
2) show on the video
there is a logic behind it… using the same guitar doesn’t make it clear that it is a different part and function in the song… another guitar visualizes a different part and also makes the video more interesting

Hey
There are EQ build into to the firmware!
Yup.
Pressing both navigation buttons at the same time will bring you to a LO and HIGH EQ option!

There just isn't enough information about this pedal. Can I load ir's from my phone? Android? What app? What's it called?
can i connect this pedal directly in a hi-fi amp or a pair of headphone?
Damn quit doing killer reviews. You are making me want to buy things.
What about them socks??
Does the ir pedal come before or after the drive pedal? Neither seems to make much sense to me....
After
IR interested, or am I just Impulsively reacting?

Any idea how this compares to a Hotone Omni?
If you already have reverb and an EQ do you need this?
yes you do
@@EytschPi42 lol. Fair enough.
@@EytschPi42 So would you see this as last in the chain before the amp input or last in the chain in the loop?
@@azcoyote007 This is for direct. Not for amp. Your amp, I assume has a speaker already, there is no need to emulate/simulate speakers anymore.
Hi Henning 😍

it is not an amp, it pushes line level… so use any preamp or pedal you want with it and then you could go into an FRFR, which is powered
like the song has essence of megadeath dio and micheal schenker
Wow. That guy on your shirt needs some vitamins...and sleep.

Can you use this in front of an amp?
No
@@EytschPi42 Hello! Which is better this one or two notes cab m?
Do you always play in your pyjamas, and couldn't you have used more guitars in your video? Asking for a friend. 🙃

Would be even better with a little 3.5mm MIDI socket for switching of presets.
I am not sure, but au assume they you need a DI box

The pedal very good. Don't wast your time adding to the IR's...There's no need.
Too bad it cant blend like the aura
