wizardman Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Does anyone know how to import 3rd party ir's to the powercab plus? I have purchased liveready ir's and the M britt helix presets but the Powercab editor app will now allow me to import any of the ir's. Any help much appreciated!

uelef Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Try to download Powercab Firmware 2.0 that was released today. Maybe that helps … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco_Crocco Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 New firmware doen't help. The Powercab only accepts IRs with specific properties, namely "48kHz, 24-bit, mono, 2048 samples". I have a bunch of IRs that are useless with Powercab + because they won't import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uelef Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I tried it out a few days ago, either – the PC+ did accept most of the IRs that I use with my Helix, but there comes no sound out of the Powercab. The feature of imported IRs is really useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnrjackson Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I'm having the same problem. I have two PowerCab Plus's and did the update without issue, upgraded my PowerCab Edit software but now can't load IR's into either unit. I downloaded the manual to make sure I'm not doing something wrong, but still no luck. I tried to load the Allure IR's just to make sure that wasn't the problem and those also fail to load. The IR's are the same ones I have loaded in my Helix. This is the error message I see: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnrjackson Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I know there's a lot going on right now with the new new Helix firmware but has anyone confirmed whether this is a bug not being able to import IRs to the PowerCab Plus? Would just like to know if it's a problem specific to my setup or a general defect. I used the same setup to update the Helix and was able to get through that process. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks 48kHz, 24-bit, mono, 2048 samples... that's the only type of IRs it will take. I have loaded Ownhammer, 3Sigma, Celestion and ML Sound Lab IRs into Powercab + without any problems. Those companies provide different folders with different sample rates and bit-rates. Just pick 48k, 24-bit. I had problems loading the Allure IRs I downloaded for line 6 as well. Weird. I know.

jwalker9999 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Same problem here. I bought Celestion IRs and tried to import both the Line6 formatted IRs and 48k, 24 bit, but can't even select the file from the import screen since its greyed out. Also tried the Allure IR wav files which came pre loaded in the Power Cab +. but those won't load either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayray6 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Seems to work for me. I am able to load Celestion IRs into my PowerCab 112 Plus. But they must be 48k, 200 ms, and Mono. Any of the other Celestion IR formats fail to load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a message that says... "Impulse response Import failure. Impulse response Import failed. Please try Again". Has anyone has tried first loading the IRs that are not working in the Powercab to their HX device, e.g. Helix? Let the Helix do the IR conversion to its native format as it accepts a wide range of IR formats. If it exports into Helix's preferred format(48kHz, 16-bit, mono, up to 2048 samples) then an export of the IR from the Helix and load into the Powercab might work just fine. Ideally the exported IRs from the Helix will match the format required by the Powercab. The spec required for IRs appears to be the same for both the Helix and the Powercab so I suppose it may come down to the backup format Line6 uses when it exports IRs from the Helix. If anyone tries this please let me know if it works. My Powercab is still on the way. If it does work my only concern would be that the IR export from the Helix remained a high quality and fairly accurate representation of the original IR.

The exported IR is probably the original file non-truncated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for trying! Disappointing and surprising that doesn't work. Maybe a third party convertor is going to prove to be the way to go until and if Line6 widens the breadth of IRs it can import on the PC+. Don't think the exported IR is a non-truncated version though, more likely truncated and potentially format modified, at least from stereo to mono, depending on what was originally imported. Who knows what goes on behind the curtain though. I've actually been curious for a while about what exactly the Helix exports in its IR files as I wondered if it was better to load the original IRs or the backups. Probably doesn't make a difference unless the Helix converts its IR backups again when they are loaded and makes each iteration of load slightly more different from the original. Seems unlikely.

I was a bit dissapointed about it at first. I have all these Freman IRs that really sounded great that I couldn't load into the PC. I actually found some other IRs that work really well with the Powercab, so its all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wondo100 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Where can I get some good IRs that will work in the Power Cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st158791 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I purchased some from Sonic DNA. The eddie3 cabs sound great, based on EVH 4X12. And I bought from 3 Sigma Audio the updated Mesa Boogie pack. I Love my metal so Vintage 30s are my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tboneous Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 How can i tell if the ir's i purchased are 48k, 200 ms, and Mono? I purchased the Workhorse and none of them work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoe5 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Just keeping this tread alive. This is a real problem. I also cannot get IR's that work in both Helix and HX stomp to load into PC+ 112. I get the same Import error message on computer as those above. I also tried importing the IR's into Helix, letting Helix "process" them, exporting the "processed" IR's from Helix, then importing into PC+ for use with my HX Stomp to save blocks/processing.

Wondo100 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 What type of file are you trying to import? .wav or .hir? If it is .hir, they will not load into the the PC+. Those will only work in the Helix. We all found this out the hard way. Market place does not tell you this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdogs Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I exported an IR from Powercab and compared it to a OH-IR. The OH-IR is MONO 32 bit float / 48 kHz The PC-IR is MONO 32 bit / 48 kHz Looks like the Powecab do not accept float. I was able to open and save the files without 'float' using WaveLab, and then use mp3tag to make sure all converted files had the correct 'title'. Then they all did import without error to my Powecab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incubism Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Yeah so just got a Powercab, I love it and it looks and sounds great. Sucks that the HXStomp doesn't have a link out but more bizarrely that the IRs I bought from Line6s store won't work on it. Are we going to get an update for this? If so when. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caledoneus Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 it works, but the issue you may be having that it is kind of picky as to which IRs it can load. There is a website called LiveReadySound that sells a pack of IRs made specifically for the PC, and they are pretty good. Might be worth checking out.

c_lo Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I got the pack from livereadysound inported into the "IMPULSE" tab on Powercab Edit... How do i get them from there in to the presets? Can anyone help, nothing is coming up on my search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerS Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 The IR's in Powercab are found under the Digital output (you need to be connected via L6-Link, I guess there is a MIDI-way too, but never used it). After selecting Digital output you will find the Powercab tab where you can select IR and which IR to use (same place where you select Flat and Speaker mode). There is some Allure preinstalled, think it was 5 in my cab. If you want to import more IR's you need to use Power Edit (select import or drag/drop into the editor) In HX Edit you can’t see the name of your IR, only position/number. I made a list on the side with the loaded IR’s and in which position. Your Powercab must have version 2.001 and the Editor 2.00 (software found here https://line6.com/software/index.html) to do above. //Per Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macguitarman Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Make sure your are dropping the WAV IR file into the Impulses Tab, and not the Presets...Doh! Since the IR is not a Preset it will be "grey" in Import, once you select Impulse Tab, a 48k Mono 24bit wav file will be seen and import. That is what I was doing and others may be doing this as well. I knew the files was 48k Mono 24bit, and my other Redwirez IRs came in fine, so I knew something was up....
