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 one is the 4x12 Hellwin, based on a Hellwin cabinet with four Celestion™ Vintage 30’s in a Solid Baltic Birch cabinet.

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!
