New cab. New mics. Even more tonal firepower.
The Modern Metal IR Pack: Volume 2 is your next step toward total tonal control. This collection features 8 professionally captured impulse responses using the Laboga Mr. Hector 2x12 cabinet, loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers — a tighter, more focused alternative to the oversized 4x12s in Volume 1.
Designed to complement and blend seamlessly with Volume 1, this pack offers a broader sonic range and new textures to explore. From ultra-defined mids to smooth ribbon warmth and modern condenser sparkle, these IRs let you sculpt your tone with pinpoint accuracy — whether you're recording, re-amping, or building a live rig.
All IRs were captured using a high-headroom, ultra-transparent power amp to preserve every nuance of the cab’s natural response. Paired with the Audient ASP880 preamp, the signal chain delivers clarity, consistency, and professional studio quality.
Bonus: Includes Axe FX-optimized IR files, ready to load and go without any additional setup.
Whether you're layering with Volume 1 for added depth or using Volume 2 on its own for a tighter, more controlled response, the Modern Metal IR Pack: Volume 2 delivers high-definition tone, creative flexibility, and studio-grade results.
