Sound character
This IR is very musical and “amp-like”:
- low round but controlled
- natural mediums (non-aggressive)
- tall soft
- dynamic response
Result: warm, modern, very realistic sound
Perfect for:
- clean modern
- blues
- fusion
- soft leads
- natural recording
Recommended Parameters
IR level
Natural IR → it's no use lower too much
Examples:
- Clean: -3 dB
- Blues: -4 dB
- Leads: -5 dB
Rule: Maintain dynamics and headroom
Cuts high frequencies
IR already soft → be careful not to darken too much
Realistic range:
- 5 kHz → 7.5 kHz
Examples:
- Clean: 5.5–6 kHz
- Blues: 6–6.5 kHz
- Leads: 6.5–7 kHz
Rule: too low = muffled sound too high = you lose naturalness
Cuts low frequencies
round bass → moderate control
Realistic range:
- 70Hz → 110Hz
Examples:
- Clean: 75 Hz
- Blues: 85 Hz
- Leads: 90–100 Hz
Rule: maintains balance without emptying
Blend IR / dry
Standard:
- 100%
Creative:
- 80–90% for ambient
Pro Tips
Great starting point:
- Gain: -4 dB
- HiCut: 6–6.5 kHz
- LoCut: 80–90 Hz
- Mixes: 100%
This IR works best:
alone for clean/lead as a natural base with overdrive
or:
layered with IR 4x12 → to add realism
CT-BogieWay112-20 is perfect:
for “amp in the room” sounds for dynamic recordings for expressive genres to avoid overly compressed sounds
