The Mesa trad has been my first cab pack and the mixes blew my mind. This is a perfect video for me. I'm definitely interested in more from York Audio and other vendors in the future.
Just picked up the DT77s and the Marshal V30 pack from York Audio. These IRs absolutely slay. I haven't even touched anything outside of the first few "mix" IRs, they are just that good. They have the neutrality of the Celestion IRs but are not nearly as thin or sizzly sounding. They have more "breathing room" if that makes sense. They sound like a well mic'd cab.
I started using the Matchless blends for essentially every amp sim now. It works for me bc the amp characteristics change but there's this like common sound to all of them with the same IRs. Not for everyone, but I love it.
Any chance you could do some Celestion vs York IR shootouts? Looking for Greenback, Creamback and Vin30 flavors. It's impossible to do one-for-one comparisons for some speakers, though.
Wow these are incredible! Went to load them into my stomp intended on about 20 mins . Almost 2 hours later I’m still smiling. Best few quid iv spent. It now sounds like a proper amp 👍. Highly recommended the mesa 412 oversized package thanks Leon great advice
Thanks for showing these different IR´s - I mostly like the short part of the cleansound - quick and dirty, but sounds very good! Also with the wrong guitar....
If you're playing a recto, the mesa 4x12 oversize is the way to go. The traditional does let through too much of that fizzy high end typical of the rectifier. Mark amps are awesome and , depending on taste, can match both the traditional and the oversize cab.
Wow, you must be staying at a HardRock hotel while on tour Leon. Fantastic guitar collection they have on display. Do they have a signed guitar from that famous Ragdoll guitarist?!
Yeah, stank face! Great intro to York IRs. I have gravitated around Ownhammer mostly so nice to hear something new, will check them out. Could you help show a folder structure so we can see how many mixes & mics come with a pack? Ownhammer shows this in detail for example. Lancaster IRs come with only 6 or 8 depending on the pack with no details. I know it’s all about sound but it’s nice to know exactly which mics represent each IR to compare to others in my opinion. Great video! 👍
York Audio having sale on IR packs - 30% off. I'm taking Leon's advice and using some of this COVID-19 time to practice with some new stuff. Give some love to small businesses at this time if you are able. Many are helping with sales and a great time to practice your favorite instrument!
Having the M20 cab pack, I love the M20 mixes on the Friedman with humbuckers! Also great on other Marshall’s. York Audio is great in that the cab packs aren’t bloated with thousands of IR’s. Every single IR is great however, and sounds great @ 20-20khz. They’re not pre-eq’d, so if it sounds great at 20-20, it’s just a matter of subtle EQ, to fit your needs.
@@LeonTodd many thanks Leon, yea I actually own them. I own ownhammer and York Audio. I much prefer YA but.. at first they sounded a bit too bright for emulating vintage amps IME, I started loving them when I high passed every mic.
@@vejichan mostly just personal preference - the OS has more of the extended low end I associate with something like a Recto cab. At the moment these are my favourite third party IR's, though i mostly use IR's I've made of my personal cabs
I am a customer and a massive fan of York Audio IR's. At this point, they are my #1 go-to.
He's got those golden ears!
3 years later, is this still true? I'm new to IR's and I want to choose wisely.
I highly recommend York Audio IRs! They sound fantastic and are extremely affordable!!!

I'm with you there, get one great IR and make it the core part of your rig
I love Justin's IR's, pretty much all I use these days :) especially after the release of the Matchless 212 pack. Heaven!
So good!
Which mix is your favorite in that pack?
Great video! Was so nice to hear these compared before I drop my money on some. Great playing as well!!
Glad you enjoyed!
I have spent a lot of time trying to find that perfect IR
Not sure how I stumbled on your channel but your presentations are great!
The first brown sound is just brilliant

Hi! Impressive review! Which Cab do you think is better to "marry" with Orange amps? Zila maybe? Thank you!
Wow these are incredible! Went to load them into my stomp intended on about 20 mins . Almost 2 hours later I’m still smiling. Best few quid iv spent. It now sounds like a proper amp 👍. Highly recommended the mesa 412 oversized package thanks Leon great advice

Would you low/high cut these ir’s despite York recommendation to not?
Hi leon! When playing live, do you prefer a single mic IR or a blend? Thanks🤘🏽
Using a blend at the moment. No hard and fast rules except for "whatever sounds good" really
I just got Fender Vibrolux Reverb for Iridium and love it !
Why does your YJM not have a brass nut?
These are great IRs. I’ve got the Bogna and Blackjacks and they sound amazing through either DAW or Two Notes Torpedo Live.
Hi brother good work i have One question i want a IR mesa boogie dual rectfire a like who is closer the York mesa traditional or OS ?
wow well played!!!! great tone!

Thanks for sharing brother!
Well Done Leon!
Does it sounds good on tube amp? The current factory patches on the valeton gp series sound nasal, i would love to try if York works well with amp
Awesome video thanks! Great playing.

York Audio website does list the mics in each pack, excellent! A folder view and IR count of mics & mixes would be a good addition.

Will these IRs work with the headrush?
What can you recommend between FTWN or DXVB york's ir?
I've only tried the DXVB. Love them though.

Which did you like better btw York Audio IRs and ML Audio Labs?
I think the YA stuff is outstanding
@@LeonTodd many thanks Leon, yea I actually own them. I own ownhammer and York Audio. I much prefer YA but.. at first they sounded a bit too bright for emulating vintage amps IME, I started loving them when I high passed every mic.
amazing video! Nice!! Tks
Awesome Leon!!!
It’s hard to identify a good IR!!! I lost hours switching the IR.
A good vídeo is you show your favorite IR in 2020.
Cheers
Quality content as usuall
What's the name of the black back IR pack? I have an old 70's Tan marshall cab w/blackbacks
That's the blackjack pack
What are your top 3 favorite packs from all time
The Oversize Mesa pack for high gain
The Fender pack for cleans
The 25 watt Marshall greenback pack for crunch
@@LeonTodd awesome.. why the oversize and not traditional? do you prefer these to ownhammers or other 3rd party irs?
@@vejichan mostly just personal preference - the OS has more of the extended low end I associate with something like a Recto cab. At the moment these are my favourite third party IR's, though i mostly use IR's I've made of my personal cabs
@@LeonTodd would.it be possible to share your personal irs? Like to try them
Thanks
@@vejichan they're linked in the video description
