FREE Cabinet IRs from Origin Effects UK: Premium Tone Downloads Now Available

Origin Effects has released their professional IR Cab Library as a completely free download - a game-changing collection of vintage cabinet impulse responses that brings studio-quality speaker tones to your Kemper, Line 6 Helix, Hotone Ampero, IK ToneX, or any IR loader pedal. This meticulously crafted library represents thousands of dollars worth of vintage gear captures, now available at no cost to the guitar community.

Professional vintage cabinet collection

The Origin Effects IR Cab Library delivers vintage correct cab captures to match our whole suite of guitar Amp Recreation pedals, featuring seven carefully selected cabinets that span the entire spectrum of classic guitar tones:

Included cabinet captures:

  • 1×12″ – Magnatone 213
  • 1×12″ – Fender Brown Deluxe
  • 4×12″ – Marshall 1960B G12H55
  • 4×12″ – Bogner V30
  • 2×12″ – Fender Twin JBL D120F
  • 2×12″ – Vox AC30 Silver Alnico
  • 1×12″ – Fender 5E3 Tweed Deluxe (added in V2)

Each cabinet represents the authentic voice of legendary amplifiers, from brilliant Fender cleans, and howling Marshall leads, to ranchy southern tremolos, and rich Magnatone vibes. These aren't generic cabinet simulations - they're precise captures of the actual vintage gear used in developing Origin Effects' acclaimed Amp Recreation pedals.

Simplified approach to professional tones

What sets this IR library apart is its refreshingly practical approach. Each cabinet is provided in bright, medium and dark multi-mic mix versions with the hope of removing some of the 'option paralysis' that can come with navigating massive impulse response packs. Origin Effects has curated 3 mixed-mic options per cab, giving you immediate access to professional-quality tones without drowning in hundreds of mic position variations.

For those who love to fine-tune their sound, the individual mics from each mix are also included, providing deeper control when needed. This thoughtful balance between simplicity and flexibility makes the library equally valuable for quick tone matching and detailed sound design.

Universal compatibility

The IR library includes 142 total files, delivered in multiple formats to ensure compatibility with virtually any IR-capable device:

Technical specifications:

  • Format: .wav
  • Sample Rate: 44.1kHz / 48kHz / 96kHz
  • Bit Depth: 24bit
  • File Length: 200ms
  • Total File Size: 200MB

This comprehensive format support means the library works seamlessly with:

  • Kemper Profiler (all models)
  • Line 6 Helix/HX series
  • Hotone Ampero series
  • IK Multimedia ToneX
  • Two Notes products
  • Strymon Iridium
  • Neural DSP Quad Cortex
  • Any IR loader pedal or software

Studio-quality captures

All the captures were created by those of us at Origin Effects, at the delightful Woodworm Studios, Oxfordshire - the same professional facility where Origin Effects records their product videos. This studio has hosted legendary artists including Tony Iommi, Bernie Marsden, Fairport Convention and many more, ensuring these IRs carry the DNA of genuine professional recording environments.

The attention to detail extends beyond just the recording process. The library's manual provides sample settings for each Amp Recreation pedal, making it quick and easy for users to dial in the tones that Origin Effects had in mind when designing their range of pedals. Even if you don't own Origin Effects pedals, these IRs provide exceptional speaker emulation for any amp simulation or preamp pedal.

Perfect pairing possibilities

While designed to complement Origin Effects' Amp Recreation pedals, these IRs excel with any setup:

  • Pair the Marshall 1960B captures with your high-gain preamp pedals for authentic British stack tones
  • Use the Fender Twin JBL IRs for pristine clean tones with any amp modeler
  • Add the Vox AC30 Silver Alnico character to your direct recording setup
  • Explore the unique Magnatone 213 voice - a rare gem in the IR world

The Vintage 30-loaded Bogner 4x12 intended to provide RD Compact Hot Rod pedal users with a range of heavier modern tones also makes this library valuable for contemporary rock and metal applications.
