The problem with sample IR's is that if that IR is meant to be impressive then it's most likely one of the best IR's in the pack. If it's not then it might not impress too many people. I probably don't have to explain the risks of giving away most of the best IR's for free. And 29.99€ is $34.45. It's a store in Europe and our currency is the euro. :) But sure this is the digital age... just imagine someone going to a guitar store looking for a tubescreamer and demanding a mini tubescreamer for free before they make the decision to get the big tubescreamer? Will you have any future products based on Gilmour theme of IR'S Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilrahi Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 To me more options are always cool. My hope is these guys release more IRs of different types and that they offer on the Line 6 store itself. Clearly they're priced on the higher end and the question will be if they can convince people they're worth it. Some on here feel they're priced too high. Are they? Honestly that's what markets figure out. If these guys are asinine crazy to ask such a high price they'll find out soon enough. As a guitarist though, more options is always preferable, even if I never buy it. I'm never (well - I think never) buying a Kemper, but they keep Line 6 on their A game so I love that they exist.

jvstrat Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I can tell you guys this Mesa amp pack is awesome from ML Sound Labs. Mikkos can IRs and Ownhammer are my favorites and have been using both for years in my Axe Fx and now in my Helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan329 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 I thought I would just share what was found while searching YouTube. Their just IRs that happen to sound completely amazing for $35. After blowing around $1600 cdn on Helix spending another $35 is nothing to add to the experience of using the Helix. Studio Lab has money in their future. An unbelievable product. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't mentioned any artist/song matching IR's which are definitely out there but the methods to get those aren't the same as those used to get a cab's IR. The cab IR method is the one they say they've perfected, not matching a specific sound or artist. So I'm gonna guess the answer is no. BUT, I could be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arislaf Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Just tried the free cab. Laughed when it was stated best ir in the world. Was expecting not to be. Tried it with a recto, path A and IR of ML. Recto, path B and IR of Ownhammer Mes-osV70. From quick start folder. (too lazy to search one by one). Result. The 12vth cab from the list was similar, but with more attack and more edge, more easy to cut in the mix. IMO, too much money for something that you can get with 1 quarter from ownhammer, and a bit of EQ (although again, imo it sounded better the ownhammer as it was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent really paid attention, but have you detected any difference in sound or quality? as opposed to the 48/16 files Helix calls for? I guess it could come down to the quality of the conversion? Dropping a 96/24 file in Helix should still work but will it sound different than the same file at 48/16? Will it sound different whether using a redwirez converted IR, as opposed to a file that was converted by loading it into the helix? Splitting hairs im sure. Just curious. The guitar style factors in i bet.. May be completely imperceptible in a "wall of sound" rock production while a single cleanish or acoustic track may show signs of degradation. Monitoring would also be a factor here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb13748 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I just downloaded the Celestion Pick-5 Mix & Match and I was blown away by the several hundred (literally hundreds in every usable sample rate) mic and speaker combinations that they send you. They make a huge difference when recording into Pro Tool. The Vintage 30s sound the best to me so far, but the Creamback and Greenbacks sound great too. I am willing to check out any and all IRs that are made for the Helix, as they truly improve the sound like you can't believe until you try them.

I've had a Helix for a few months now and I most definitely can make it sound like my real amplifiers with our IR's. I'll post clips soon. I don't necessarily feel like I miss having literally a hundred advanced options that something like my Axe-Fx III has. We're actually working on releasing some Helix compatible presets that work perfectly with our IR's so keep an eye out: ml-sound-lab.com As for free IR's we keep things pretty tight but occasionally there are free IR's that get shared. Here's one to give you an idea what an "ML mix IR" sounds like: http://bit.ly/MLSoundLab I just gave the free IR a go on my helix. Its a really nice IR so even balanced across the frequency spectrum. I think I'll wait to see what else you bring out though before making a purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzz123 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Bought a pack on 1st April. No info from the shop during a prior conversation that sale(s) were coming up. Also no compensation for those who paid extra so close to sale dates. There was a also a buy one get one free offer soon after their "20% off" Easter sale. ML sound labs is extremely unethical imo and I would request that you consider this message before your next purchase.

There are a couple of details that were left out by @aaronbrito 1) He got a 5€ discount when we didn't have a sale going on as an act of kindness on my part - that's 1€ price difference to the 20% Easter Sale 2) I offered to make things better by giving him another discount but he didn't accept it - I assume he wanted something for free His message to me: Basic courtesy from my dealing with most vendors up to now has been that a grace period of one month is offered with purchases - ie if a discount/ sale happens in that one month the difference is refunded or the same sale terms are offered to the customer I kindly told him that this is not true. No company would ever have a sale if it meant they'd lose 20% off their last months profits. Also it's against social media policies to spam thousands of customers when you have a sale going. This would lead to a ban/restrictions on social media. Again - I try to do my best when it comes to customer service but people asking for free stuff is unfair for the people who pay full price.
