Proper gear is still the better way.

 

best on the market but not free, Wall of Sound by Two-notes. Well worth the money

 

After all these years nebula 3 is the best damn IR loader, and with the OH impulses it just does't get any better

 

There's a new kid on the block of the IR loaders. Meldaproduction MCabinet

 

No best is Mikko
Then Libra

 

Its free but you only get two Torpedo Cabs
But you can load any other IR if you want.

 

good tip, thank you!

 

there is no such thing as best IR. would you use the best Fender Twin IR for a Dual Rectifier ? sorry i can't help here.

 

I've tried many.And most of the ones I've found have been pretty useful for different things.Catharsis,Gods cab,Rosen,Jst,Ownhammer,Redwirez,Celestion,etc.Even some of the free ones from youtube guys like BGelais and Bestplugins.

For me it really matters what kind of tone exactly I'm shooting for.But man do they sound good stacking multiple of them in almost any combination.in the same token some of those free youtube ones are crazy fun to blend 2 bands tones.Like Pantera-Walk or Cowboys from hell blended with Slayer-Raining blood is way interesting,not exactly what I expected,but nonetheless monstrous sounding.

I don't really have a loader preference. I've tried most all of em.I probably use Lecab more than others.But it depends on the amp sim I'm using.Like if I'm using Poulin or Vadim Tiranov amps I'll often use Lecab.But with other stuff like Toneforge's,Emperor,Grindmachine,or x50.I'll often just use their loader,and in those cases of single irs or 2 I'll go with Rosen or Ownhammer.Usually 1960 Marshall,Mesa,or Orange or blend one of those with one of ones included in the sim.

I kinda look at it like amp sims.I don't really have a favorite or best.It more or less depends on the scenario or what kind of tone I'm going for.I generally like the sound of 4x12 cabs with Celestion vintage 30s

 

Speak of the devil, can someone please help me understand the differences between 200ms wav IR and 500ms ? When should i import the one over the other ? I mostly use 200.
Also can someone give me a tip on how to use Nebula as an impulse responce loader ?

 

You can load 3rd-party IR into Helix Native, and then take advantage of the built-in amps models & FX.

 

These ones are famous for good reasons. Wow.
