Dual IR's not working the same as 2 different Singe IR's, making phase isues!

[NielsO]

Hey, am I the only one who have run in to this issue?

 

I tried to use stereo IR's for my acoustic guitar, to pimp up my piezo-sound, so i dont want to jump of a bridge when listening to it:))

 

First I tried the "Dual IR" and loaded 2 different IR's and panned hard left and right. But I thought something sounded weird, but I supposed that there was just some differens in phase in the 2 different IR's. I switched the polarity of the IR's on and off, but was not totally happy

 

(I note that there can be an issue with phase when listening to the acoustic sound of the guitar and the output of the Helix, so you should maybe always check what works for different monitoring situations.)

 

But still I thought something was off:( I then tried to take 2 of the same IR's in the dual IR block, and pan them booth to the left and switch the polarity of the B-side. Normally they should cancel each other out, and there should be no sound, but there was:(

 

I tried to do the same thing with 2 single IR-blocks on 2 different paths, and that worked as it should! Switch the polarity of the B-patch and they canceled each other out, and there was no sound. 

 

So now im using 2 blocks for stereo witch is a shame, in the HX-stomp cause of the limited block.

 

Hope someone has some input:)

Hopefully, by now you've either solved the problem (please post the solution) or opened a support ticket (please post the L6 reply).

The Dual IR block has a Delay parameter which you can use to phase align IRs. Set it neutral / to zero.
