GodSlaYeRz Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Any IRs recommend for John Mayer/Mateus Clean tones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 While IRs are useful I doubt that you will find one to be a magic elixiir that suddenly gives you the Mayer tone. You should be able to get close using stock cabs (along with everything else that defines his tone). Is your Mayer tone already close to the sound you want? If not I would look to your overall preset before expecting an IR to fix things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Agree with Silverhead...IR's are not a magic bullet for anything in particular, and I've yet to see any that are marketed as artist-specific. Entire presets are crafted to mimic one player or another constantly, but there's a lot more to accomplishing that than just an IR. They're a bit of a time-saver (once you find a few you like, that is), as there are fewer parameters to mess with compared to a cab block, but that's about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowStormDA Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Jason Sadites has some great tutorials on the Helix for various artist sounds. His insights have been a great help to me. It showed how much the Helix can do with the stock cabs and mics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to create a patch with stockcab :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
