Sound character
This is a “top-tier” IR for modern guitar:
- low large but controlled
- aggressive mids (V30)

- great impact
Result: professional, full and defined metal/rock sound
Perfect for:
- modern metal
- hard rock
- heavy rhythms
- high gain leads
- professional recording
Recommended Parameters
IR level
Very powerful IR → pay attention to the level
Examples:
- Rock: -6 dB
- Metal: -8 dB
- Extreme high gain: -9 / -11 dB
Rule: lower to avoid dough in the palm mutes
Cuts high frequencies
V30 + SM57 → possible “fizz”
Realistic range:
- 6 kHz → 8.5 kHz
Examples:
- Rock: 6.5 kHz
- Metal: 7–7.5 kHz
- Djent: 7.5–8 kHz
Rule: fundamental to remove digital harshness
Cuts low frequencies
4x12 → important bass
Realistic range:
- 90Hz → 140Hz
Examples:
- Rock: 100 Hz
- Metal: 120 Hz
- Djent: 130–140 Hz
Rule: more LoCut = tighter less LoCut = more weight
Blend IR / dry
Standard:
- 100%
Creative:
- 80–90% for ambient
Pro Tips
Great starting point:
- Gain: -8 dB
- HiCut: 7 kHz
- LoCut: 120 Hz
- Mixes: 100%
This IR is already a pro microphone blend
less need for EQ perfect for direct recording great as main IR
It works perfectly:
alone (mix-ready) for double stereo tracks with high gain amp in live and studio
