The Classic Rock Essentials impulse response library is based on a vintage MarshallĀ® 4x12 cabinet loaded with vintage CelestionĀ® greenbacks and captured in such a way as to channel the vibe of rock guitar cabinet tones from the late 1960's through early 1980's.

Impulse response files are provided in Wave Audio Format (.wav), and have been minimum phase transformed using a proprietary algorithm.

Back in the golden age of analog recording, most albums were cut with the band all playing in the same room at the same time, tracked through a mixing console to analog tape. This led to the bleeding of instruments between mics, and so far as the guitar tones were concerned produced a less direct sound than what became common place after the digital revolution, where most instruments are tracked individually and in total isolation.

This library embraces that classic spirit of yesteryear, allowing the smooth, smokey, vintage sounding guitar tones to breathe more, and let more of the room into the sound for every capture. In contrast to the past, however, this IR library ensures that all sound sources captured are time and phase aligned, preventing the slap-back delay type of effect that can be heard on those old recordings. The result is the marriage of old and new, living harmoniously in peace, man!

Frequently Asked Questions




Yes, if the platform in question accepts wave audio format (.wav) files in 24-bit resolution, mono channel count, and at 44.1, 48, 88.2, or 96 kHz sample rate.

If verification is necessary prior to making a commercial purchase, this can be accomplished via the IR Freebie.




This question is best asked to the loading platform provider, as they will have official knowledge of their platform's operations and requirements. OwnHammer wave audio format IR's are provided in 24-bit resolution, mono channel count, and at 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz sample rates, should you need to confirm those specifics against 3rd party documentation or with 3rd party platform support.

In DAW environments, it is always best to use IR files that are the same sample rate of the project/session, as you cannot be certain that the IR loader you import the IR into has sample rate conversion correction capabilities.

Additionally, in the event that the platform in question finds itself in the below list, some information on known/submitted platforms and their native operating formats and requirements can be found at:
