    So all those Redwirez cabs I bought a few years ago just became more relevant?

    Hi guys, Been a long time. I've started the process of crafting longer IRs. We do have the data, but technical aspects of UltraRes format require us to edit and process from scratch, so it'll be a while. I'm going to start with the Marshall 1960 Greenback cab and see if folks can hear a...

    Get LAConvolver. It's easier to use than Space Designer, or so I've heard. Record a track from the Axe-Fx with the cab block bypassed. Put LACOnvolver on the dry track. Then loop it and try different IRs by loading them into LAConvolver. That's the way I'd do it, anyway. This PDF offers...

    red wire truncate?

    Thanks for the purchase. The truncated IRs are helpful for auditioning IRs in your DAW. The Axe-Fx has a 1024 sample limit on IRs, so if you have an Axe-Fx, then the truncated IRs will sound the same in your Axe-Fx as they do in your DAW. This is mostly an issue with IRs from positions...

    Stock cabs "tighter" than Redwirez cabs?

    I can't speak to the Axe-Fx cabs (I haven't heard them), but because we use a solid state power amp to sample our IRs and don't do any post-processing, they are less mid-scooped than most IRs out there. Some people think this is an advantage, other folks prefer more scoopage. A while back we...

    Free Redwirez Cab

    Theoretically no, just with a lot more EQ "points" than you would get with a standard EQ and it should match up pretty well to what a tube amp will do to a particular speaker's frequency response... if used in moderation (50-60% wet), that is. If used to excess it becomes a one stop "metalizer"...
  43. R

    Free Redwirez Cab

    As was pointed out, using the 100% "wet" impedance curve IR will give you an exaggerated scoop. Could be good for metal, though. The 50% wet IR is more subtle and closer to how a tube-based power amp will shape the frequency response of a speaker. But, you don't need to use them at all...

    The unaffected signal comes in around the peak of the blue line, so there's no boost to speak of, mostly some shaping of the mids. Peak to trough it's about a -10db cut. You can play with the amount of "shaping" by using impedance curves of various degrees. We included 50% wet to 100% wet...
