Free IRs: VOX AC30 6/TBX (clearer, more optimized for distortion)

km 202257

Inspired
This is a pack of IRs from my AC30 6/TBX cab loaded Loaded with 2x12 Celestion Blue Alnico made in UK.

Download from the URL below, including .wav files and SYXs:

Please see the PDF file for mic positions/characters/recommended use cases for each IR.

Listen to the video below to see how it sounds like with a Fender 1978 Strat and an AXE-FX III w/FW 21.02:


The concept of this IR pack is AC30 IRs that retains clarity in a mix, so it might sound harsh when auditioning isolated.
While the mic positions are optimized for the distorted tone of the amp, I believe this also works with lower gain settings.

Hope you like my IRs, and feedback is much appreciated!

* The soundclips below is the demo I originally posted. These are recorded with FW 16.00 and no longer sounds like the current firmware.
I've played the red guitar in my avatar with a treble booster, and AXE-FX III loaded with tweaked "CLASS-A 30W" model.

Update: Demo soundtracks and the PDF manual are updated.
I've done a critical listening again and I preferred "AC30BMS TLM103 00." It's now my most recommended among the IRs. Probably I was experiencing ear-fatigue on Sunday and preferred "TLM103 0", which is actually much harsher. I had my presets swapped the IRs and revised the demos/PDFs accordingly.
 
How do I charge these to the valeton gp 100?
Download .wav files instead from the URL above and then convert it.
I stay away from commenting whether/how .wav IRs can be converted for your Valeton as it's not relevant to this forum. Just ask the developer.
 
[Update on 12th Feb, 2023] Sorry to bump an old thread, but I completely revised the first post for visitors outside of FAS forum. Recently I've found out this thread comes quite high in Google result when searching "ac30 impulse response" (don't know why when there's many many good IR producers around there!!). Added the movie as I thought the soundclips should've been better with the current firmware.

Attached is the .fasbundle preset I used for the movie, including the IRs of my recommendation now.
