Seriously, if you haven't checked them out do so. They're free.

Clark Kent said:I just wanted to point out that right now I think THESE ARE THE BEST IR'S FOR THE AXE-FX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND FREE!!!!! (you can put these in axefx format with just about any axe-fx software in axefx wiki)
I've been trying to create my main metal patch all day long and I've been using the Redwires IR's thinking that they are the best of the best. I was using a recto cab with different mics etc. but everything ended up sounding really muddy. I even boost the highs with the global EQ and still the sound is really flubby and TBH it sounds exactly like my Boss GT used to sound.
By the end of the day I started to give up... then I remembered trying out the Fredman IR's a week ago and those weren't lacking highs. NOW: My global EQ is flat, I'm using the "Fredman Straight" in one cab and "Fredman Sneap pic" in the other. AMAZING! My Axe is alive again! Tight lows and I mean lows... not that lowmid blah from redwirez. I get un-fizzy highs that cut through and don't sound at all digital unlike the redwirez did. Remember... don't get mad: this is my opinion.
Just to be clear on how I use these IR's:
------[CAB]------ <--- doesn't matter which one is which...
-----\[CAB]/----- just make sure they're not the same (this actually happens too often :lol: )
I'll do a comparison clip soon. Maybe a youtube version so you get to see my other gear too.
Once again a link to the IR's: http://catharsis.supremepixels.com/impu ... redman.zip
I like that! Everyone has a different taste of what frequency range to boost or cut and having these as the bare bones so to speak, of the speaker cab mic combo are a great starting point for building the tone we want.redwire said:We leave the EQing up to you. There's no reason why you can't just apply some good EQ to our IRs in your DAW and get the same sound.
That would be nice, I'd like to see more of the "studio standard" micing techniques for the different styles of music, whether it's metal,rock,blues,jazz... you know, the good starting points for mic placement and which mics to blend together. So far what you've put up on your tutorial section and from your post on here have been very helpful for the recording at home noob that I am.redwire said:Please understand that we didn't set out to create the ultimate metal IR collection. Once we're done with all the cabs we have planned maybe we'll spend some time tweaking the collection for specific genres. Not sure if there'd be a demand for that. But, it certainly can be done.
