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.

Key Features

  • Cab sim and IR loader with 25 built-in IR and 74 empty slots for loading your own
  • Comes pre-loaded out of the box with 12 of the most popular official Celestion speaker cab IRs
  • 8 TC Electronic Pedal Platform IR transforms your pedalboard into a DI ready guitar rig
  • 5 acoustic guitar IR to transform your piezo pickup from dull to full 
  • Global compensation EQ with low shelf and high frequency filter for easy integration with different setups
  • A/B mode lets you instantly toggle between 2 different IRs in real time via the footswitch
  • Loads IRs up to 200ms in length
  • 24-bit uncompressed audio for ultimate sound quality
  • Easily drag and drop your IR files from your computer onto IMPULSE via USB using a standard file explorer. IMPULSE does the rest

TC Electronic

In the current JustPedals catalogue, TC Electronic is represented by Delay Pedals, Reverb Pedals and Looper Pedals. Current listings include DC30 Preamp, Plethora X1 and V550 Pre-Amp. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Amp & Cab Simulator Pedals

Amp and cab simulator pedals model, emulate or approximate the gain, frequency response and dynamic behaviour of an amplifier and speaker cabinet. Some focus on a preamp voice; others combine power-amp behaviour, cabinet filtering, microphone placement and direct outputs. They can feed a power amp, effects return, mixer, interface or headphones, but the correct routing depends on the model. Check impulse-response support, bypass options, input headroom and how the pedal responds to playing level.

Acoustic

Acoustic products are designed or voiced for acoustic instruments, including piezo, magnetic and microphone-based sources. Input impedance, body resonance, attack, EQ, compression, ambience and feedback control can all affect the result. Check whether the product is intended for acoustic guitar, another stringed instrument or general use, and confirm the connection, power and output format before placing it into a live PA or recording chain.

IR Loader

IR loaders play impulse responses that reproduce measured cabinet, microphone or other acoustic responses. They normally shape a direct signal after an amp or preamp, making it more suitable for an interface, mixer, PA or headphones. Check file format, sample rate, memory, loading method, output routing, level control and whether the loader can bypass its cabinet stage. An IR is not a replacement for every part of an amplifier chain, so gain staging still matters.

True Bypass

True bypass removes the effect circuit from the audio path when bypassed, usually by mechanical, relay or switching circuitry. This can preserve the direct signal but does not automatically solve long-cable loading, and it may create a pop or leave no buffer for the rest of the board. Check the actual switching method, trails or spillover, input and output loading and the number of other true-bypass pedals in the chain.

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.
