Does anyone have any impulse files like this?

[WarriorOfMetal]

I'd like to try recording my Engl Savage 120 direct, and then using an impulse to approximate the way I normally have it set up when I use a mic, because I can't always have it as loud as I'd like to record at home (this amp is designed so that it can be used essentally as a preamp when in standby mode).

All of the impulse files I can find seem to be through EL34/6L6-based power amps, so the first part is finding something using KT88s/6550s. I use a 4x12 loaded with Celestion CL80s, and generally prefer a Sennheiser e609 very slightly off-axis, where the dustcap meets the cone, right up against the grillcloth.

why dont you make your own? I would guess that would be your best option

 

[WarriorOfMetal]

You may be right, I'll have to look into that.

If you make it please post it for the rest of us to play with

What do people generally use for the signal to send through the gear to make a speaker impulse? All of the ones I've tried are sort of a clicking sound, but I can't tell what that sound's original source is.

Yeah, it can. How long/short should it be, or does that matter?

Also, do I need a deconvolver program of some sort? It doesn't look like the Voxengo one works with Macs.

Wait, really? Are you serious?

These impulses were captured with my VHT 2/90/2 power amp (KT88s), Avatar 412 (with CL80s), and an e906, both straight onto the cone and one exactly where you want it.

Enjoy!

We've been over the "we have the same taste in tone" thing on like 3 forums now, I can't believe I didn't think to ask you!

Thanks dude, I'll give those a shot!

If you use logic, you can use the deconvolver in it

If you mean my avatar, yes and no. It's one I owned briefly, but it was a badly constructed piece of garbage that was only good for taking pictures with.

You can see the whole thing here.

No, trust me, it was a piece of crap. If it was even a fraction of the way toward decent, I would have kept it. It looks cool, but that's as far as it goes. To add insult to injury, I'm still trying to get my money back from the eBay dealer months later.

Thats rough, sorry dude, its still a pretty sweet looking guitar though
