Acoustic guitars IR profiles

  • Are they any good free profiles based on IRs of acoustic guitars? I'm finding only commercial ones, but I wanted to first get a feel whether it's worth to use them. I have some acoustic gig upcoming where I can't really use a mic and I'm not a big fan of piezo-only sound.

    I know, bit of a noob question, but I don't do acoustic jobs very often.

    If something is too complicated, then you need to learn it better

  • I don't know if you've done it but why don't you try internal acoustic effect simulation ?

    I had some acoustic rigs and use it in all of mine....


    TJ did that vid 3 years ago :

  • Honestly I've never tried using this with an Acoustic guitar (have to use one, cannot show up with an Electric...maybe with my Hollowbody Piezo)

    Sorry, i understood that you were going to use your electric guitar.....


    May be, you can use this :


    Or this :

  • I have not tried this with the Kemper but I did with my FM9. This is how I would do it if I were wanting to do this. I would use an acoustic IR in a cabinet block. If you need an amp to go with it, outside of finding a profile of an acoustic amp, I would profile a cable. This will give you a very neutral amp. I think there is actually one on the rig exchange you can download. Then I would add a compressor, a little chorus and a little reverb to it. That should give you a really nice sound.

  • As the owner of a Parker Fly (solidbody electric fitted with a piezo bridge) I am contemplating several possibilities, as well.

    christianbad at the moment I am still using a Yamaha AG Stomp, which is an acoustic preamp designed for instruments fitted with a piezo system.

    Would it be possible to capture the AG Stomp with the Kemper, in a similar way to what has been already done with the Dexter and the Aura?

    This would prevent me from hauling around another piece of equipment

  • I have used the acoustic impulses from 3Sigma quite successfully - they're not free, but not really expensive. And they give you a broad range of options for different pickups (piezo, soundhole, electric guitar) and sound variations (more or less low end). They provide Kemper kipr files ready-to-use. As described above: use these impulses as a cab and put a "clean cable" ("Cable Direct" from Rig Exchange) amp before it (allows you to use the tone stack). Garnish with your favorite effects - good to go!

  • When I set this type of signal chain up on a different device, I found some good Acoustic IRs that were free. Just Google free acoustic IR and you should find some. Just try them to find the ones you like.
