Description: Three impulse response packs from Modern Metal Academy.
Contents :
Modern Metal IR Pack: Volume 1 is a collection of eight professionally recorded impulse responses designed to convey the aggressive, yet refined tones of modern heavy music. The heart of this pack is the iconic Mesa Boogie Rectifier Oversized 4×12 cabinet, equipped with British Celestion Vintage 30 speakers – an integral part of modern metal production due to its tight bass, rich mids and clear articulation of the highs.
Modern Metal IR Pack: Volume 2 is your next step to complete control over your tone. This collection includes 8 professionally recorded impulse responses obtained using the Laboga Mr. Hector 2×12 with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers – a tighter, more focused alternative to the larger 4×12 speakers in Volume 1.
Modern Metal IR Pack: Volume 3 is your most versatile tone-shaping tool. This pack contains 18 mix-ready impulse responses recorded from a high-end Coffe Custom Latte Oversized 2×12 cabinet, powered by a powerful combination of Celestion Creamback and Vintage 30 speakers. The result? A rich, balanced sound that combines the smooth vintage tone of the Creamback with the aggressive mids of the V30 – perfect for creating modern, heavy guitar tones with character and clarity.
