Precision-crafted impulse responses for crushing, mix-ready tone.
Introducing the Modern Metal IR Pack: Volume 1 – a collection of eight professionally captured impulse responses designed to deliver the aggressive yet refined tones of modern heavy music. At the heart of this pack is the iconic Mesa Boogie Rectifier Oversized 4x12 cabinet, loaded with UK-made Celestion Vintage 30s – a staple in modern metal production for its tight low end, rich mids, and clear top-end articulation.

Every detail of this pack has been meticulously engineered to capture the cab’s true sonic signature. The cabinet sweeps were performed using a high-headroom, ultra-transparent power amplifier, ensuring the most accurate and faithful representation of the cab’s natural response — no hype, no coloration, just pure tone.

Whether you’re producing heavy-hitting rhythm guitars, atmospheric cleans, or soaring leads, this IR pack gives you pro-level tones straight out of the box.

Preamp Used:

Audient ASP880 – renowned for its clarity and low-noise floor, letting the tone of the cab shine through.

Bonus: Includes Axe FX-optimized files, so you can drop them straight into your unit and get dialing without any extra setup.

Whether you're tracking in the studio, re-amping at home, or crafting tones for live rigs, this pack delivers brutal precision, endless flexibility, and the tonal depth your music deserves.
