Thank you for the Mesa IR. Just tried it out on a chug type guitar riff during a chorus section and it is very smooth. I have all the tools needed to make my own IR's, just haven't dipped my toes in yet.
That is the most underrated explanation for making IRs i ever stumbled about! But I am having an issue: As a poweramp, I tried a HiFi amp, a PA amp and the power section of my Ibanez Toneblaster15 solid state guitar amp (modified to work with external speakers). HiFi and PA amps sounded way too dark through the cabinet, while the solid state guitar amp 15W power section made the tone feel just authentic. Why do so many people promote PA amps for the job, what could I be doing wrong?
You forgot one step, which was to connect a microphone to audio interface input, and place the mic into the cab where it feels better ;)..... Actually even do several captures e.g. cone, off axis, etc etc ......Thanks for the video, was great....I ll try this one of these days...Cheers mate , great stuff ;)
Very informative. I didn't know, it was that straight forward. I mean, taking a frequency sweep is a given, but I expected it to take a bit more processing. And that riff again... Great!
Great video. Totally unrelated comment: Love to listen to these sine sweeps after I calibrated my listening position with Sonarworks/SoundID. Sounds totally flat compared to without. Awesome.
I have a question. I have Fender Blues Jr. and that doesn't have an effects loop, it just has a direct in. So what do I do then? Also, how can I tell that I have properly capture an IR of my amp. I have been having trouble recording this and also making sure I have a good plugin that can read and understand that .wav IR. Advice?
The output of your interface is at line level, so straight from it. The purpose of reamp box is to match instrument level signal for input in an actual pre amplifier/pedals
need some help on this one, so i sent the sweep to the combo and did it several times for different mic positions and exported every single one of them correctly. then imported them to the deconvolver and they ALL sound exactly the same, like I can't hear any difference from the IR created for the front speaker from the one captured behind the cab :/ can you help me?
So if I get this straight .. you're gonna play this test tone out of your DAw into the FX return loop of amp and record THAT test tone as a new .wav file?
Big dumb question here. You think this could work on humanizing midi guitars, and how night one go about that without a power amp (or any amp). Let’s say I have a midi tone I’m actually satisfied with but it doesn’t sound as good anywhere besides the room I mixed and eq’ed it. Would creating an impulse of that room help?
Any suggestions on a budget Class D power amp, say, one that might have additional uses around the house like powering a turntable/hi fi equipment or something like that ?
Grab basically anything with proper wattage for your cab that is class d! The crown ones are dope but try a couple out and see what you fall in love with -Miami
I don’t know why, but the whole “it doesn’t move air in the room” argument annoys me. One of these days I’ll blend in the sound of a fan pointed at a mic so I can say “here’s the sound of air being moved in the room” 🤪🤪

You’re welcome, Pete! Make sure to show me when you make one!

@@joeymusic you CAN'T capture the sound of the valve amplifier even if you wanted to because it's non-linear

You can also do this in Reaper with ReaVerb. I forgot the exact steps (I only did it once almost a decade ago) but it has a deconvolving feature.
Nice. Thanks for the video. Cheers
Transitions are wild, Miami!

sounds really good. I blended it with another IR i had and it's awesome and clear
Nice video. What is the difference if you would use white noise instead?
Damn, that Mesa sounds vicious. Killer tone.
What about using white noise instead of a sine sweep? What difference does this make?

Hey Miami, thanks for the tutorial and Power-Amp Recommendation! What cable do you need or use for properly connecting the XLS1002 to your Mesa Cab?
Do you need to run this out of your interface with a reamp box before the poweramp? Or just straight from the interface to power amp?
The output of your interface is at line level, so straight from it.
The purpose of reamp box is to match instrument level signal for input in an actual pre amplifier/pedals
@@daniloberserk excellent, thanks!
How do I do this with a Fender Mustang II and Scarlett 2i2?
How loud should I play the sweep in the room? Is there a general db rule of thumb?

damn that’s fire 🔥
1 vote for balloon popping, since you brought it up. :)
I thought the Joey Sturgis Conquers All Vol.I was made using the return of a 6505 and a Marshall head. Is that right? Those IRs sound dope!
they do sound sick, speaking from experience
So if I get this straight .. you're gonna play this test tone out of your DAw into the FX return loop of amp and record THAT test tone as a new .wav file?
Yes
The iR is dope
Ever tried tyhe SIR (free) plugin ?...sounds quite good,

How do you choose a power amp for making impulse responses?

Thank you I was wondering also.
@@joeymusic hi Miami, any recommendation about cheaper than crown xls ?

Lmfao I feel it

@@joeymusic great video as always, man!
you CAN'T capture the sound of the valve amplifier even if you wanted to because it's non-linear.
should we use reamp box when we want send sweep file from daw into poweramp?
No need

Miami looking like he's gonna make a song with Maverick City Music 😉
One can wish lmao

Very informative video but transition game was lacking, is he losing his touch?
Challenge accepted

But there was no difference in the sound played. So what's it even used for?? You never told us that.
