Product Information

As in all TC Electronic products, they aim to make IR Loader the simplest and easiest to use with the essential features so you can just focus on your playing! Footswitch Modes There are some great sounds here, especially when we got beyond the factory presets and shaped things to our own tastes. The Helix's advantage lies in its comprehensive input/output and signal routing ability, which can facilitate just about any guitar-related studio or onstage task you can think of. However, if you don't need all that connectivity, and want to save a bit of cash, there's also the Line 6 Helix LT which features further down this list. A new effect niche was born. In the following decades that technology evolved further in the direction of “modeling software” through Impulse Responses (IR), a system able to capture the sonic character of any existing amp and cab (including your own!). An impulse response (or IR) is a sonic measurement of the sound of a speaker, room or microphone in relation to a sound source. In guitar terms, this is usually your amp.

It’s worth mentioning at this point that the term ‘impulse response’ is not exclusively used to refer to guitar amps and music production. The scientific explanation is, broadly-speaking, the measurement of an output reacting to a brief input signal (the impulse). There’s also a switchable master volume that can effectively work as a boost if you need to take it up another level, though we think this feature could have been spared in place of a more versatile EQ setup. Still, this is a hard pedal amp to beat in this price range.Though the HX Stomp is limited in terms of its controls on the front, it’s highly customisable, and offers a broad palette of professional-grade effects to explore. For the guitarist that wants specific modulations, delays or a cab sim on tap ‘just in case,’ the HX Stomp is a smart, compact solution, and the capacitive footswitches make assigning and editing a relatively error-free procedure - it’s unlikely you’ll need to refer to the manual much at all. And if you don't need the amp models and fancy a few more footswitches, there's also the HX Effects. If our list of the best pedal amps was based on appearances alone, this would easily take the top spot. And while that is one of the best things about it, Milkman Sound’s The Amp has more to offer than just good looks. A class-D, solid-state power amp with a proper 12AX7 preamp tube, it offers between 25 and 100 watts of power.

It comes with 25 IRs and 74 external slots that are empty. But the cool thing about TC Electronic Impulse IR Loader is that they allow you to delete the factory ones and use this pedal for only external IRs. You have 99 slots to use which is extremely cool! Also, last but not least the factory IRs’ extension! This is a bit weird as they decided to come up with “.uli” extension. 🙂 Sounds like Uli Behringer wants to leave his marks even in the file extension realm.CONTROLS Output, gate threshold, overall gain, low- and high-frequency gain, three-band EQ, depth and presence Chappers & Cap sit down with Strymon's take on the amp modeller / IR cab simulator - introducing the Iridium. 3 Matrix-Modelled amp models onboard, 9 built-in cabinet IRs (you can also load your own), 24 bit/96kHz specification - Strymon don't mess about!

First and foremost, we are guitarists, and we want other players to find the right product for them. So we take into careful consideration everything from budget to feature set, ease of use and durability to come up with a list of what we can safely say are the best pedal amp on the market right now. When choosing a pedal amp, it’s important to know what you’re looking for. Do you need something to create volume, tone, or both? That will decide whether you need a pedal that acts as a preamp or power amp. A preamp is the tonal shaping stage of any amplifier, where many of the sonic characteristics are added and tweaked, and you will often find a gain and sculpture (EQ) stage. You can trust Guitar World Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing guitar products so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test. This could be an electronic current, an economic calculation, or a sound – that’s what we’re working with. How do you use an impulse response?

Here at Guitar World, we are experts in our field, with many years of playing and product testing between us. We live and breathe everything guitar and bass related, and we draw on this knowledge and experience of using products in live, recording and rehearsal scenarios when selecting the products for our guides. Fender has always had one hand in the modeling game from the original Cyber Twin to the more modern offerings from their Tone Master range of amplifiers. The Fender Tone Master Pro is a new offering with its sights set firmly on some big names in the modeling game.

Therefore I started researching alternative IR loaders on the market and I focused on a couple of parameters such as the number of external IR slots and the maximum IR length.

By default, the footswitch acts as a classic on/off switch. But if you press and hold the footswitch, it changes to A/B mode in which you can assign two presets. Simply long press the footswitch, then find the preset you want to assign to preset A, press the right button and then choose the preset for B then simply press the footswitch again to finalise the setup. AF method (Adaptive Focus method) is a proprietary method from Roland & BOSS that vastly improves the signal-to-noise (SN) ratio of the AD and DA converters.

On top of that, it features 2 footswitches so you can save and assign settings, but after a while, you tend to forget about the exact positions of each control as there’s no way you can get this information on the interface. Number of External IR Slots In this TC Electronic Impulse IR Loader review, I will provide the reasons why I have switched from ENGL Cabloader to TC Electronic Impulse, all the details you need with this awesome impulse response loader and also a demo video along with product photos and manual as well.
