SenseiJuancho Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hello friends, maybe it's an obvious question, but when I download Customtone presets, many times I find that they have IR's in the chain, but they don't appear. Is there any way to know what kind of IR's should be put in that empty space to get closer to the original sound of whoever created it? Or unfortunately it is a matter of trying one by one until you get a good sound? I hope your kind help. Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 No, there’s no way to identify the sort of IR that is missing. The preset creator/poster should include that information in the notes when they post the preset. If they don’t you really have no option but experiment with different cab/IR blocks. There’s no way of knowing what the preset creator was going for in terms of ‘original sound’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmalle Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 BTW: If you happen to have the exact same IR on your device already then the downloaded patch will automatically find the right IR slot. This is possible because every IR has a unique fingerprint (hash value) which is (secretly) stored in the patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes... a preset now includes a "hash" as well as the index pointer. if the two don't match when a preset loads, it looks for the "hash" in the IR list and matches it up. I think that only works with presets saved from a firmware that already included this feature. Older presets didn't save the "hash". I purchased the MBritt presets a while back.... loaded them up along with all the IR's and the Helix didn't find squat. I had to re-assign every one of the IR's based on the notes that came with the presets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caledoneus Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 unless they mention it in the description of the preset, there is no way to know. Just find one that sounds good to you, or put in a stock cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
