When TC Electronic released the original PolyTune pedal in 2010, they revolutionised the way we tuned our guitars and basses. Fast forward to 2022 and they have done it again with the Impulse IR Loader! Featuring 25 built-in IRs, 12 official Celestion cab models and 99 IR slots, the Impulse IR Loader makes the process of working with impulse response files effortless. Simply drag and drop your favourite IRs over USB or use the dedicated IR organizer for PC and MAC. The Impulse IR Loader will take care of the rest and ensure you sound like the best!

Housed in an ultra compact, pedalboard friendly chassis, the Impulse IR Loader has a super-simple set of controls – Output Level, Next IR and Previous IR…that’s it! A true bypass mode ensures ultimate signal integrity when the pedal is not in use, so tone-loss is a thing of the past! With a huge dynamic range and bags of headroom, the Impulse IR Loader can handle both instrument and line levels with ease, for maximum rig flexibility. And if all that isn't enough, the Impulse IR Loader also comes loaded with 5 acoustic guitar IRs, helping you get the most out of your piezo pickup.

Amp & Cab Simulator Pedals

Amp and cabinet simulators reproduce the gain stages, tone stack, power-amp response, loudspeaker colour and microphone character of a recorded amplifier chain. Analogue circuits, digital models and impulse responses approach this in different ways. The important distinctions are the available amp and cabinet types, editable microphone or room settings, latency, output routing, preset recall and whether speaker simulation can be bypassed for a real amplifier.

Acoustic

Voiced for the wider dynamics, strong transient detail and pickup characteristics of acoustic instruments. High input impedance, phase reversal, notch filtering and restrained processing help preserve body resonance while controlling piezo harshness and feedback. Balanced outputs may also carry the corrected signal directly to a mixer or interface.

IR Loader

Convolves the signal with an impulse response, a captured measurement of a cabinet, speaker, microphone, room or other linear system. File length, sample rate, latency, storage and routing determine the detail of the captured response and how flexibly it can be combined.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.

USB

Provides a Universal Serial Bus connection for power, audio, MIDI, firmware or editing data. The supported USB class and connector do not by themselves show its purpose; channel count, sample format, host compatibility and power demand define the actual function.
