YT-amp snapshots

[MultiM]

I really liked the idea of putting his IRs (amp snapshots) between my amp sim and the cabinet loader ( for example LeCab2), it gives you a better tone.

what do you think?
and how does he make this kind of impulses?

Looks like he match EQ'd the guitar rig Preamp to an engl preamp, then put a cab impulse after it.

You could play a sine sweep with a guitar rig head without a cab on it and get that snapshot.
Send a sine sweep into an amp head and out of the send, or preamp out back into your interface and take a snapshot of that.
Force the guitar rig to sound like the actual amp with match EQ. Export the sine sweep and turn it into an impulse.
That's actually pretty clever.

Basically forcing the fizzy Guitar Rig preamp to sound like the fizzy Engl preamp.
(Not fizzy as in bad, but as in all preamps by themselves sound like that)

Actually yes, that's really clever, I wish there's more of this IRs, I don't have any head;but I have a multi effect, I wonder if I can do that to the amp simulators in it( I can bypass the cabinet)

Yeah you could do that with a multi effect pedal or rack unit. Make the x50 or something sound like it.
If you were to download other people's preamp impulses you'd need to use exactly what they were using with the same settings to get the exact emulated sound.
But if you didn't use the same plugins and setting you could get some interesting/unique sounds from it.
Much like using a match Eq'd impulse of a song with a different amp sim.

Made it using Ozone Match EQ.
Recorded a guitar DI - sent it through Guitar Rig and took an EQ snapshot of it. Reamped that same DI (has to be the exact same performance - not another take) through the Fireball and took a snapshot of it's fx send. Matched the Guitar Rig snapshot to the Fireball's then created an impulse by running a sine sweep through a track with the matched curve on it.

Thanks buddy! Your IRs are awesome
