tayste_2000 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Was wondering due to having limited experience with IRs but can you get any with effects on them to make up for the lack of an effect on a particular pedal. Specifically I was looking at https://www.nuxefx.com/mightyplugpro.html which looks like a great upgrade to my mp2 but it still doesn’t have an octaver, just 5 different choruses 🙄 but you can load in IRs so I was wondering if you can get IRs that are recreating speaker cabs but with an effect on them?

tayste_2000 Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Since asking I’ve realised it doesn’t really matter as I can just use either Mighty Plug as an interface with my iPad and use all the fun fx I have loaded there. But I am still interested to know if it would be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Not really. An IR doesn't really process a sound wave in the same way that an effect does. It's more of a complex multiband EQ. No control over any settings within an IR because it's just a wav file. If you wanted to move a octave control by 1% on the dial - you'd need a new IR file that captured it. So you'd need 0-100%. So that's 100 files for just moving that 1 control. Then if there's another control - 2 controls with 100 positions each = that turns into 10,000 different IRs to try out to find the one you like. 3 controls... 100x100x100 - that's a million IR files to audition to find the right settings. There are some IRs that simulate broken speakers and that sort of thing but that's as far as it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Good to know, thank you. I figured that would be the case 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
