Joey Sturgis Impluse Responses

[FIXXXER]

Maybe it's about what are we looking for in a guitar tone, in which cas I'm looking for tonal characteristics more similar to the "Other" IRs, and not the JTW.

I still don't think I'd be happier with a mix with boxy guitars...

yeah, same here but you can't deny that the JTW fits better in the mix
and it is way clearer. just saying...

Whilst these sound strange this particular Pod patch sounds INTENSE, especially the soaker sample, Jesus Christ http://joeysturgistones.bigcartel.com/product/jst-modern-metal

they said they use a compressor on an impulse response ? is that a joke?

the patch sounds NOTHING like that tho sounds like he used one of those Kontakt MIDI guitar VSTi?

I'm not a fan of the Soaker tone at all but anything will sound good when Kyle Odell plays it.

lol just realized what it means

I don't think they compressed anything, they just ran the signal trough the shadow hills as it "makes anything sound better"...which it does.

still...it's weird. It's just an impulse.

hahahaha yeah right!

I felt the same way as some of you guys when I heard these. They just aren't very good. During the comparison both sounded bad. If I wasn't told which one was theirs I would have never been able to guess which one they were trying to sell as superior.

s-preshigh is the standard that I compare all other impulses to I don't feel like anything else has surpassed it or even provided a different flavor that matches it's quality.

significant phasing caused by equalization.

this is all i could think as soon as i heard it haha

The whole video looked and sounded like a parody of Slate commercial videos (which are already comical in their own right to say the least).

depends on the mix, really.

I like to have the option to shape the guitar tone according to what the mix needs/in what direction the band is moving.
For this, a more neutral, unprocessed tone is much easier to handle than something that has already been pushed HARD into a niche.

Oh yes. I just recalled those VTB blind tests.

I must add that Joey looked very intelligent and competent on this video. What was rather irritating is another guy's words. They both are top notch pro's, it's just the wrong way to advertise the product in my opinion.

 

[Nuno Filipe]

mix ready? huh? Dont want even know what they consider raw!
It´s so funny that they choose a really good impulse as competitor, because like they said, there is so many shitty impulses, but they chose a good one for a demo!ahah One that is a lot better that their product. its like shooting their own feet. :zombie:

 

[superfreak]

The other clips on the bigcartel link sound a lot better. I wish they used some of those sounds in the video instead.

I agree, the tones in the other clips do sound good.

 

[Rex Rocker]

Mehhhh.

 

[ArthurD]

I really didnt like it. Im sorry.

 

[Via Noctis]

The clips of that IR reminds me of the guitar sound on Soilwork's Sword To A Great Divide uke:

 

[Ericlingus]

screw it, I bought them anyways.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Man I hated both of them. I think I hated competitor less, but they both sucked.
