The Imperial Bundle impulse response library captures and is seeking to recreate the sound of nine cabinet types suitable for low to mid-gain vintage American and British flavored tones. The proprietary "Boutique" mixes included in this library were officially licensed for use in the critically acclaimed Tone King Imperial Tri-Tube Preamp Pedal as the stock IR/cabinet section.

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

INDIRECT MEDIA:

While the below may primarily focus on the Tone King Imperial Tri-Tube Preamp Pedal, by using the stock cabinet options the IR's found in the "Boutique" section of the OwnHammer Imperial Bundle are also being demonstrated.

From the documentation regarding the "Boutique" mixes:
Included in the Boutique folder for each cab/speaker combination is a single, unique multi-mic mix that borrows from some of the techniques employed in the Classic Rock Essentials, bringing in room mics to create a sense of space, vintage vibe, and intimate touch sensitivity for lower gain playing. This subtle air around the note allows you to hear and feel the flesh of your fingers and pick attack nuance, especially when playing with single coils and pickups with more dynamic headroom. This also softens the top end hardness and fills out the midrange in a way that bridges the gap between studio and stage application.

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!

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.
