  • How can you make your modeler sound more like a real amp?
    In this video, we take a look at our new XR [extreme realism] Impulse Response Collection and compare them to stock cabs on every major modeler platform to demonstrate how using our XR IRs is the easiest and most effective way to improve your tone and make your modeler/amp sim sound more like a real amp.
    We breakdown what is included in each IR pack, give sound examples, compare our XR IRs with a real mic’d cab, answer frequently asked IR questions, compare the XR IRs to our previous tone-matched IRs, and hop on a call with our friend Chris Greely [mix engineer, producer, guitarist] to talk about these new XR IRs.Buckle up, let’s go to tone town!
    These IRs deliver the truest representation of a cab in tone, feel, breakup quality, and harmonic information when pushed. Our new XR IR Collection is the result of countless hours of IR experimentation, development, and A/B testing. They are the most accurate line of impulse responses that we have ever created. These IRs are universal and can be used on any platform that can load IRs. Check out the XR IR Collection:

    Even listening to this audio on studio-quality headphones and nearfields, it doesn’t do justice to the difference between the XR IR’s and comparable traditional IR’s - even the Ownhammer Rock Box sounds beam-y and narrow in comparison. And TwoNotes and Celestion dynamic IR’s are now officially outdated compared to XR’s. Bravo guys, don’t know how you did it but these finally unlocked my in-the-box digital sounds and made them actually fun to play.

      @@Tone_Factor I know you’re not going to give away proprietary information, but I’m struggling to figure out how you did this. The XRIR’s make all my other IR’s sound like am radios, but it can’t be just good eq’ing. You don’t mention any similarities to TwoNotes or Celestion dynamic IR technology yet there must be some dynamic component, yet there can’t be because they’re straight wav files. These also beat the UA Ox sounds handily.

    Thank you for working so hard to produce a sound that can be matched with a real amp. Even though it's not 100%, I can't tell a difference... This saves my back and a ton of weight to carrying my rig around. Thank you so much for the countless hours I bet it took to make these.

I bought the Orange and Marshall IRs to test, but even with only the starter selection this makes a huge difference to my clean sounds after only the five minutes I am playing with them right now. I will surely test in other settings, but this is great, Thanks! I will definitely want more.

I don't know how to explain it but anyway thanks guys! These IRs truly are amazing. I bought nearly all of them and they saved my QC.

      Love to hear that! Honestly, running the XR IRs on the QC was the first time we were enjoying the Cortex. We will be experimenting with DI amp captures and running these XR IRs soon as just capting a full amp with the QC didn't sound that great and had all the problems of the stock cabs. The XR IR is the way to go for the QC.

    I’m guessing the JMI 30/6?
    I have been really successful with snap shot 1 being a huge swell no amp/cab
    2 having one perfect thick clean tone
    Using stomp box mode to turn off effects if not needed
    3 more of a edge of breakup for my dryer rhythm tone
    And 4 big lead tone with all effects in.

Is it okay to mix and match different amp\cab combinations?

    I definitely noticed a slight difference when comparing the XR IR to the real amp, with the IR sounded cleaner and more focused and the amp having more air to it and more variation (maybe harmonics) based on pick attack. What would you guys recommend for getting an amp in the room feel? I’m currently using the Line 6 power cab on the flat setting and pretty happy with it so far…

    The XR Collection is definitely better, however I will say that I did think that the Helix Stock Cabs sounded way better than the QC Stock Cabs. I run a massive board with the Helix floor as the brains of the entire rig and I do run IR's because they definitely still make a massive difference. I'll be checking out some of these XR IR's for sure!

    • @KenyonReed2

    I use the pre-tone factor DH bethel patch for 90% of what I play - is it worth switching out the IRs for these new ones and would I need to do anything else to reconfigure my patches??

    • @lukescott8438
      @lukescott8438 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You should be able to throw them in and tweak! Might have to raise the top end on your EQ blocks since the actual harmonics are replacing that harsh fizzy sound in modelers that we all know and hate 🤣 it’s been a while since I’ve owned a helix so I haven’t ran that patch in a while. Best of luck, hope this helps!

    • @Tone_Factor

      Moving foward, we will be building our presets from our XR IRs. The beauty of these universal XR IRs is you can buy a pack and use it on ANY platform with ANY amp and ANY amp settings, unlike tone matched IRs that have to be paired with the amp, settings, and platform they were tone matched to to sound correct.

    Ok, I’ll be honest. I’ve always thought IRs were stupid and thought, “why would anyone use IRs? The stock cabs are just fine, no one can tell a difference”. I have a QC and have been happy with the stock cabs. However I saw everyone raving about these XR IRs, so I thought I’d finally give it a try.
    It’s not a life-changing difference, but it’s pretty close to being that. It made my QC come alive in a way I didn’t know it needed. Best IRs I’ve tried hands down!

  • @Aevyn
    @Aevyn 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Shower thoughts: Would it be possible to find the exact eq curve of a microphone, and apply the inverse of that curve to the IR file to essentially eliminate the mic flavor and get the sound of just the speaker?

    • @raptor74707
      @raptor74707 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In theory yes, or you can find a pretty flat condenser mic to do your recordings to eliminate classic mic characteristic (eq) as much as possible (It won't be supper flat but you can live with it). Some mic manufacturers provide the frequency response of their mics on the internet which you can use to put an EQ to do micro adjustments to make it flatter. Remember those measurements are from 1m distance at a certain db. However, there are a lot of other parameters in place such as the room that your amp is in. So hearing just the cab is not what you want, it is the sound in that room that you are after, and that requires some experiments and different mic set-up and capturing techniques.

    • @Tone_Factor
      @Tone_Factor  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good question! Buying the XR IR packs is a great option to update any presets you have. All future Tone Factor presets will be based of these XR IRs since they are a big improvement from our tone matched IRs. We will likely be rebuilding/redialing our currently released presets using these new XR IRs since they sound so much better. Because of the massive amount of time that will take and for the fact that they include new IRs, they will be entirely new versions for sale. As always, if any of our current presets break or need a correction to function and sound as initially designed, those will always be free updates.
