Hard Rock Heroes Vol 2 is a preset library of 35 speaker cabinet impulse responses (IRs) from Quantum DSP, built for modern hard rock rhythm and lead guitar tones. It works with most IR loaders.
Hard Rock Heroes Vol 2 is an expansion to the Hard Rock Heroes IR series from Quantum DSP. It focuses on cabinet tones for rhythm guitar and lead playing in a modern hard rock style. Quantum DSP describes the set as a hybrid IR library that works with the impulse response loader blocks of plugins, modelers, and reactive-loaded tube amplifiers.
The library covers two main areas. The rhythm IRs are described as thick and driving, with crunch that fills the mix without crowding it. Quantum DSP says the low end is controlled and the attack is tight.
The lead IRs are built around sustain and upper-mid bite. The developer describes the harmonics as clear and forward when a solo takes over. The high end is meant to shine without turning harsh.
Hard Rock Heroes Vol 2 is designed to load into the IR loader blocks of plugins, modelers, and tube amplifiers with a reactive load. Quantum DSP notes that the set is curated, so you choose from a set of ready-made tones rather than building mic and position combinations yourself.
The library is intended for producers who want mix-ready guitar cabinet sounds for modern hard rock arrangements.
