In case you’re not familiar IR (Impulse Response) technology, and without getting too technical or nerdy about it… IR is used to digitally recreate the sound of a real speaker cabinet. This is a very important element in the guitar rig since the speakers make up about 50% of the overall guitar sound.

IR tech has been around for a while in the studio realm, but it’s still a relatively new technology in the world of guitar gear. However, in the past 5 years or so, the popularity for this tech has been growing exponentially with guitarists. So much so, that the majority of professional session guitarists now have a bunch of their own IR models which they prefer to use in the studio and for live shows. IRs have become an industry standard for use in a digital guitar rig.

We are now seeing a trend of everyday guitarists experimenting with IRs. In order for them to use their own IR models outside of their studio computer, users need to spend a lot of money on a dedicated device. Such as the Torpedo from Two notes. This makes it inaccessible for many guitarists, particularly if they are just curious about trying IRs, as it becomes a major purchase.
