"Have y’all talked in detail about using impulse responses? "

This question came up in our Facebook community (which you should absolutely join) and as we thought about it, we realized...no, we haven't. 

So here we go! This is the episode you've been asking for, as we talk about: 

  • what IRs actually are
  • what they can and can't do
  • why they are becoming a standard for guitar recording
  • how they can help you improve your tone
  • why they are an amazing productivity, creativity and workflow tool
  • how we use them in real world scenarios
  • how they enable you to record your real tube amp at home
  • other applications, such as rooms, reverbs and creative FX


Please know that this is not a scientifically correct explanation or technical deep dive into what's going on under the hood of convolution reverbs and IR loaders. It's also not a tutorial on how to make IRs, although we touch on that briefly.

We're trying to give you practical advice, share our real world experience from using IRs on actual records and help you get started using IRs yourself. As always, all that matters is what's coming out of the speakers in the end. So please excuse our simplified way of explaining this and take it as hopefully helpful, actionable advice.
