The Stage Cab Pack, an IR captured and tone matched directly from album stem tracks for Axe-Fx III, Axe-Fx II, AX8

NOTE: for the Axe-Fx III, Axe-Fx II, and AX8. NO refunds provided.

Impulse Responses (IRs) produced by Synyster Gates, Cooper Carter, and Nick Fainbarg at Costa Mesa Recording Studios in Costa Mesa, CA. The IRs represent a variety of cabinets used throughout Syn Gates’s recording career.

This is the “The Stage” an IR captured and tone matched directly from album stem tracks used as reference to create Syn’s direct Axe-Fx III signature tone settings.

Our IR capture signal chain started with a selection of classic microphones:

Shure™ SM57
Royer™ R121
Sennheiser™ MD 421
Neumann™ U87

Each microphone was sent through Neve™ 1084 preamps, with the exception of the U87, which was sent through a Chandler™ Germanium PreAmp.

Each cabinet/microphone configuration was captured in two different positions for tonal variety, reflected in each IR name as A or B. In IR names, “o” denotes an “off-axis” position. The “Mix” IR included in each cabinet is a mix of all the microphones. We encourage you to pick your favorite IRs from this collection and mix your own cabinet sounds to taste within your units!
