Yes. They are definitely on the darker side and certainly different than any other impulse I've tried.
I find that cutting post cabinet rather then boosting seems to sound more natural with these impulses and boosting with the preamp eq or a parametric eq after the preamp sounds better as well.
But I think Shane could be on to something and this is just the start. I wouldn't doubt that consequent updates will show improved quality.
That said, I do wish there was a bit more natural high end content in them but I'm still experimenting myself and so far I like the results I get when everything is dialed nicely. I'm almost certain I will purchase this tomorrow.

Have you had a chance to do that comparison clip of Mic'd Vs Impulsed? I had a quick look on the site and didn't see it. To make it authentic you would need to throw a mic in front of the cab and record a new clip as well as recording that preamp signal and then making an Impulse of that same position and applying that to the recorded preamp signal. That may be a little time consuming I understand but could prove invaluable for you. If your Impulses are as close to the real thing as you were saying originally, I imagine it would result in quite a few more sales.
Even if you had an old comparison from which you made the original conclusion of them being Indistinguishable from the mic'd cab that would be cool.
Cheers.

Thanks, GuitarHack...
I have a lot of clips planned, and I'm sorry for taking so long with this. It's been a lot of work getting the product complete, and I haven't had as much time to work on clips as I'd originally hoped.
Now that the product is out, that gives me some time to focus on making some more clips. I definitely agree that the miked cab vs. impulse clips would be an excellent addition, and I will get to that ASAP.
PS - To the first few customers - thanks! The problem with the download links has been resolved now. Was a minor web server config issue, all orders will work without a hitch now.

Just bought the full version and I have to say it has some very nice impulses!!
I don't like most of them by themselves but there are 2 or 3 i REALLY dig.
I'll record something later and will post here.

ok I bought recabinet and I partly can understand people complaining about lack of high end. the carvin impulse though has got plenty of it. + they're very good mixable. i made a quick 50/50 clip with 6l6 carvin 57 cap grill and 6l6 mesa 57 cap grill and instantly got a quite usable old school death metal sound. overgained - I know, but with a little tweaking and processing ...

I tried to make clear that many people try to achieve fat sounds and you're complaining about a sound being too fatWhat's that mean?
I think they just sound super fat because I can never find that magic mic position that gives me the tone I'm getting with Recabinet

Hey Kazrog
I just posted a little ad for Recabinet on my site
http://www.audiogeekzine.com/?p=743
I hope it results in some $ for you and this excellent product.
I'm sure I'll be purchasing this in the not too distant future.

knows what you think.
1000% as I've mentioned before
It's from 3k up for me. I tried with different hosts and tried with my 5150 head. But they work fine when layered nonetheless.

Short idea.

I noticed the lack of high end too, I had to EQ boosting highs a lot. And still it seems to be a bit too dark.
But i like it!

Wow, thanks for all the awesome clips and thanks AudioGeekZine for the plug. As you guys might imagine I'm pretty busy but one of the things I'm working on is an update to the clips page. I will look into the high end response issue as well.

I just purchased and downloaded my copy. I hope I have some free time soon to give it a proper spin. (although I have to say I am looking forward to more news on the high end response issue mentioned)
Keep up the good work!

I asked Kazrog about this but he wasn't for sure on the answer.
I'm testing Recabinet out with Revalver Mk III
I read Kazrog's statement "Also make sure you are using a mono instance of Altiverb on a mono track (very important!) These impulses are of course, mono, since they are each based on a single mic."
I know he is talking about Altiverb but it got me to question the way I have things setup.
What I do is send both mono guitar tracks(im just doubling)to a Group stereo tracks and there is were i setup Revalver ,Eq, etc,......
I do this to keep a nice even guitar field and I know i should venture into slighty changing the tone from GTR L to GTR R to increase the stereo image of the gtr but i havent got there yet....lol
Revalver support's stereo processing, so i just make sure that its enabled .
Am I losing any quality this way ? or basically its the same as running 2 instances of the plug in on each mono track right?.....I find it a little difficult and distracting to mix one guitar at a time.
Also in Recabinet Manual under Revalver Mk III it says "Add an instance of the SIR impulse loader inside Revalver. Then, Simply load the impulse you want from within the Recabinet 1.0x Other Hosts folder. To get the most realistic sound, engage the high resolution switch, and turn down the crunch and distortion all the way on SIR. That being said, there are no rules, have fun!
Now when you turn down the crunch and distortion it takes all sound away. So i don't know if mine is weird or what.....even when i turn the crunch and distortion the sound goes away and then comes right back....it's really annoying actually(nothing to do with Recabinet of course) Also whats SIR the impulse loader in Revalver is labled RIR.
Cool, sorry for such a long post just wanna sort a few things out. From what i have heard so far I'm liking the new impulses. thanks in advance
