Le recueil: Impulse Response Convolvers

These pedals all feature the ability to load impulse responses (IR files). Each is designed to a different purpose, so look closely at the benefits and limitations of each...

• Prosody is a top-notch instrument IR pedal that comes with a set of high-end instrument IRs, software for loading them to the pedals, and several useful EQ and effects functions. It does not handle speaker cab IRs, however.
• Line 6 Helix and HX multi-effects processors feature an IR loader that allows you to load an instrument IR, a cab IR, or both together. Helix comes with a plethora of speaker cab IRs, but you will need to source instrument IR files elsewhere.
• Mooer Radar is a cost-effective pedal capable of loading either an instrument or a speaker cab IR, but it does not have a wet/dry blend function.
• LR Baggs Voiceprint DI allows you to create a custom IR of your own acoustic instrument, but it cannot load 3rd party IR files.
• BOSS ME90, can only load speaker cab IRs, but not instrument IRs.
