Amp IRs

IRs of amps aren’t a thing. There are cab IRs, and you’ll find IRs of different acoustic instruments (mostly acoustic guitars). But IRs are a linear processing element, so they’re not able to capture what a guitar amp is doing.

 

I’ll say, though, all an acoustic amp is a basically a mini PA system. So you can recreate what it’s doing in the HX Effects by using EQ block and possibly a compressor and chorus block.

There's these. They are supposed to take any guitar pickups, acoustic or electric, and make it sound like the acoustic guitar the pack is named after. These are NOT IR's of an actual acoustic amp. Just IR's to make you sound like an acoustic guitar.

Then the acoustic essentials here

which says "includes presets for All Acoustic Guitars". I'm not sure what that means since it's only $10 and all 16 Acoustic IR packs are $15 dollars each. Meaning I doubt it has all of the 3 Sigma Acoustic IR"s available so I don't know what "All Acoustic Guitars" means. It even says it requires any 3SA acoustic IR and any 3SA cab IR. At the top of the page it says each collection has 20 IRs so I'm assuming those are the IR's it's talking about but I can find no place to confirm this on their website.e

 

There's also this which it supposed to take your acoustic pickup's direct ouptut and make it so it sounds more natural. They are not made for electric guitars and acutally has different IR"s for different acoustic pickup configurations. There is a free pack to try out.

These are the two acoustic IR brands that I hear the most about.

 

Hope this helps
