03In depth

Tonal range across metal styles

The pack contains 28 IRs in total: 13 studio IRs built for modern metal and 15 more aggressive IRs. Bogren Digital draws on 14 different speakers across 4 cabs, which gives you a broad palette rather than a single voicing.

The range runs from heavy, cutting death metal tones through black metal grit to the warmer, vintage character associated with doom. Because the speakers and cabs differ, you can pick a starting point that fits a riff or a section of a song and then adjust from there.

Using the IRs in a dense mix

Bogren Digital says the IRs were mic'd and mixed with a dense mix in mind, so they are meant to hold their place alongside other guitars, bass and drums rather than sound thin in a full arrangement.

To use the pack, you need an impulse response loader and an amp or simulator. The IRs are designed to load into any software or hardware IR loader, so they can slot into your existing guitar chain.
