Impulses for mac

Anyone used Altiverb 5? It´s too expensive for me, is there something cheaper than that ($700)?

I've got AltiVerb 5 on my Mac. It's rocking. I finally made an impulse of my Mesa cab for use with my 5150 and it sounds exactly like the real thing. I'm blown away!
I will post clips as soon as I can (in a new thread.)

Shane, I would love to get ahold on you on AIM for a chat about Altiverb, I still can't figure out how to get impulses into the plug to use on guitar tracks

I recorded the impulse with an i5 mic. I'm really happy with how it's worked out. I'll give you guys the impulse and the AltiVerb preset when I get home (I'm at my girlfriend's place for USA Independence day today, I will be home tomorrow though.)

Thanks you!
BTW 006 I´m thinking on geting Altiverb 5. Is it a PITA to make those impulse files work???

By the way, to anyone who's having trouble creating impulse responses or importing them into AltiVerb, check out this document that explains it all:

Hehehe for 700$ you can buy a dedicated PC based IR system - 500$ for PC, 200$ for EMU1212M and 0$ for all the free windows only vst plugins listed at kvraudio.

OK, I've finally put the Mesa Standard (oversize) 4x12 impulse response online:
http://www.backmask.com/sneapforum/Mesa4x12_IR.zip
What's in the zip is 2 things - an AltiVerb preset (the folder) and a Sound Designer II file of the impulse itself (so that it can be used with other convolution software.)
As for background info, I ran the impulse sweep out of my MOTU 828 Mk II into the effects loop of my 6505+ (to skip over the preamp stage and just use the power amp), and out through the Mesa cab. I recorded it back into the computer with an Audix i5 mic, back into the MOTU interface. No other hardware was involved. Speakers in the cabinet are the stock v30s, and I have isolation foam on either side of the cabinet.
So far the results I'm getting are killer (I will post soon.) I highly recommend getting a THD Hot Plate, it makes for a complete solution where you never have to hook up or mic a cabinet once you've got some impulse responses you're happy with! Especially useful if, like me, you have neighbors who won't tolerate a thunderous high-gain tube amp shaking the common walls of a complex.

Can you please provide the impulse in wav format ?
You should be able to convert it with Peak or another similar editor. It's just an SDII file.
