Bangha Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 These should be good. Smart move by Celestion, I'll give the free demo a try tomorrow. If anyone buys a couple, do let us know how it goes. BTW there's a discount code at the top of e website for single cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe5 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Ha, yeah that's smart!!! Glad to see it. Now amp and effects manufacturers should be able to publish their own amp models...get out the dev kit Line 6 :) Ah well, I guess IR's are platform-agnostic and studio friendly. Edit...I subscribed and downloaded the one free IR, a V30 mix. Pretty cool. Really neutral-sounding. Not too much thump or edge. It's probably very versatile. Sort of reminds me of Helix cabs before you tune them with parametric eq, different mics, dual cabs, etc. Double Edit...found the free download page for this IR. It's a 1x12...no wonder it's not thumpin' ;) https://www.celestionplus.com/free-download/ We wanted a classic guitar tone that would work from clean to higher gain rock. Cenzo selected the Vintage 30 in the closed back 1×12 cab and blended the balanced IRs of the Royer and 57 to get a fantastic core tone. Switching to an open back cab he mixed in the rear 57 to enhance the bass, then subtly included the Neumann room mics to add the spaciousness of an open back cab, and provide the glue to hold it all together.

akousticplyr Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Downloaded the Cenzo Townshend free IR pack, and was going to ask a question here regarding which sample rate file would be ideal to use. Then I got my lazy butt to open the owner's manual pdf (exhausting, I know) and found this. Thought I'd leave this here in case any other newbies like me download this pack and aren't sure of the IR geek specs. Cheers! "The Helix app updates the Helix hardware's IR list automatically. Helix can loadand store up to 128 IRs at a time. 48kHz, 16-bit, mono, .WAV type IRs of up to2,048 samples are natively supported. But the Helix app allows you to import IR.WAV files of different sample rate,bit depth,length and stereo format,and theapp will convert these attributes automatically before sending to the Helix hardware."

roscoe5 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Just bought the V30 412 pack for $6 since there is 50% off single pack coupon NAMM17. Really nice, smooth and consistent IR's that play really well with Helix. Seems like a really controlled, methodical creation process. Leaves a lot of sound control for the Helix amp controls and effects/eq blocks. They give you 3 cab mics with 6 IR's each; Balanced, Bright, Dark, Dark 2, Fat and Thin Shure SM57 Royer R-121 Sennheiser MD421 3 Neumann CTLM 107 room IR's; stereo, left and right. 12 mic mixes, 6 hi-gain and 6 lo-gain. The 421+121 is great! Great logic and organization, and not too many files and options. Like a cross between 3Sigma and Ownhammer. Soundwise, these Celestion are a bit more controlled and predictable IR to IR than say my Ownhammer California Duo pack. The Ownhamer has a more enhanced sound, maybe due to their "neutral tube amp" capture process. However, the Celestions are easily "enhanced" with a parametric eq after them. I will say these Celestions had a great natural sound with good presence and cut coming through my JBL Eon 515xt in monitor mode. I think they would make great live IR's. Not that the Ownhammers are not great by any means, but the Celestions sounded very natural at gig volume through an angled 15" monitor pointed at my head. My Ownhammers can be a bit boomy, or have some odd frequencies with that JBL if I don't tweak them. All in all, I think I would highly recommend them, especially to those new to Helix & IR's. You can get a great sound quickly and intuitively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Nice find! Wish I was more familiar with each of those speaker models, it's tough to get a handle on how they'll be in use from listening to any particular player, guitar, amp, and settings.

roscoe5 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Oh, our friend Pete Thorn is demoing them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Case in point, I'm sure they'll sound great, proving nothing ;) Really what I meant was that I wish I had more of a gut level feel for them, like you guys who've been swapping out speakers forever. Not me. Last time I changed the speakers in a guitar amp was back in high school, when I reworked the braces inside my old smaller Bassman cab so I could fit 2 JBL 15s in there. Thing screamed. But I've never played any of those Celestions, even though I know they're classics. Can you use that 50%of coupon for more than one single pack, do you think?

Rocco_Crocco Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I already have enough IRs to last me two lifetimes, but it's good to see a "hardware" company enter the 100% digital realm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe5 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Can you use that 50%of coupon for more than one single pack, do you think? I cant seem to use the coupon again. I get this message... "Coupon usage limit has been reached." However, I went to the site in IE logged out and I am able to apply the coupon to multiple cabs. I logged in to check out and the coupon was removed with this message... "Sorry, it seems the coupon "namm17" is invalid - it has now been removed from your order". So I guess if you want multiple different single cab packs, get them in a batch the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verne-Bunsen Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Oh, our friend Pete Thorn is demoing them. Pete Thorn Demos are always bad for my wallet. Always.... I've already got a mountain of IRs that I've only scratched the surface of, but these do seem intriguing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe5 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm sure all our wallets will be hurting after NAMM. I really do like celestions approach. Even with Helix cabs, I find myself picking cabs based on speaker type rather than cab manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Gut level, I'd be surprised if relatively minor variations in cab dimensions or materials made anywhere near as much difference as what speakers are in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewolf48 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 But there is an announcement covering new developments for Helix (in the schedule for NAMM) and thanks to a little leak we know that some of it relate to IR's in Helix and 65Amps. from the thread on TheGearPage So today on "Lunch with Dan", Dan dropped the bomb that he's been working on impulse responses recently for the Helix. There will be preview package for this stuff at NAMM. If you're on this thread...You probably know who Dan Boul is... Or at least what a "65Amps" product is. Dude knows tone(s). Helix is going be improving a bit SOON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbbaker Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 So . .. I checked out the IRs on the Celestion Digital Downloads web site, found two to try . . . Entered the info on what I wanted and applied the CODE NAMM17 for the 50% off and . . . . it shows full price of $29.99 for each . . . and . . I can not find anywhere on their site to set up a "log on" account. Can anyone point me in the right direction . . . I must be missing something. Thanks. Bo Baker So I finally figured it out: The FULL price is $60 for a "bundle" ( 5 cabs ) and the 50% discount makes it $29.99. which is the amount showing on the web site. So they are showing the price after the 50% discount. To me a $60 price seems to be hight base on the others I have purchased. So, Now I'll give them a try And you have to go through the entire purchase procedure before you can set up a new account. No way to start a new account without going to the "Check out" screen . Wow!

Verne-Bunsen Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I haven't purchased any, but I did notice in the discount code description that is was for "single cabinet" IRs, which I took to mean that it didn't apply to the bundles...

No, we had official word that we wouldn't be able to download any new firmware by the time of NAMM. Maybe it'll be ready some time after NAMM, but we'll know more about what's coming, and also, it'll explain why Line 6 has waited to implement at "smoother" way of dealing with the whole backup / update process. I hope that we're all wiser later today ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roscoe5 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Just tried the the Allure pack and they sound great as well. It is great to see Line 6 provide some free IR's themselves of some great sample cabs. This could really help a new Helix user struggling with the HX cabs that is not familiar with IR's...i.e. me this time last year. I personally do like the Celestion V30 412 pack better than the Allure V30, but quality is equal. It's just personal taste. The a dual 412 Cali V30 HX Cab with dual mics and the right parametric eq settings is on par with both. It ALL good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dshow Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I tried the new Celestion V30. It's only one mix - not that impressed personally. I keep going back to Redwirez after all IRs I tried. Don't know exactly what it is but they still feel and sound the best to me and I like to have the option to finetune by mixing my own IRs with MixIR.

In otherwords, can you have two IRs in parallel in MixIR and then generate a single IR of the combination that could then be loaded into Helix?

Yes, you can insert any combination you like and then export as a single .wav file in the desired length. You can even save your settings and open than later for further tweaking.

craigmoleski Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 This is great! Awesome to see originating companies offering IR options. I want to try out a couple single packs of a few speakers. What would you recommend, or would be the 'can't go wrong' choice for speaker (1x12/2x12/4x12) and open/closed back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirtualGuitars Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I purchased their IR packs for the Vintage 30, G12M Greenback, G12T-75, and V-Type speakers. I wanted the Vintage 30 and G12M Greenback IR packs to match the speakers in both of my Marshall Mini Jubilees (2525H and the 2525C). They are amazing. Worth every penny.
