The Classic Rock Essentials impulse response library is based on a vintage British 4x12 cabinet loaded with 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




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: YES.

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

PLEASE NOTE: any technical difficulties that an individual may encounter are NEVER the fault of the IR, and AWLWAYS the fault of the loading platform or the individual attempting to load it. Whether it is a USB driver issue, multi-file array import issue, user error, etc, you will find that if you take any file you may have an issue with and load it into a product from a different manufacturer, that the problem goes away. For this reason, technical support is not offered regarding impulse response libraries, as it is ALWAYS the loading platform that is the culprit and NEVER the IR. Therefor, the burden of support is ALWAYS on the loading platform manufacturer/developer, and will not be permitted to be outsourced to OwnHammer.
