That's the purpose of calling "IR LEVEL" instead of "LEVEL" or "VOLUME" when you already have a "GAIN" knob. If you dont believe me, go see yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no4s...EoC6VQ&index=2 after minute 3. So all this fuzz about this pedal not having a blend is nonsense. |

An IR is just an EQ , nothing more . The aim would be to be able to recreate the miked sound. Concerning Fender Acoustasonic, it is clear now that you don't understand how these IR are working. Fender made the IRs for their own guitar. You are not loading an IR created with, f.i. , a Martin . In other words, to make it more simple for you: a x b = C (suppose C is the IR, a the miked sound, b the piezo sound) C/b = a ( IR and piezo combined give you the original miked sound) It is just obvious that if you change the "b", what you get back is totally random sound. |

Let’s add some details.
1) What people call IR is relate to Finite Impulse Response filter FIR. The sound results from the convolution of your signal with the IR waveform. It enables to shape both the amplitude in frequency domain AND the phase. It can make the lows come before the highs… and change the feel. 2) digital EQ are Infinite Impulse Response filter (IIR). IIR filter usually have a fixed phase response you can not alter. All you can set is the amount of boost or attenuation at specific frequencies. It is a shortcut to reduce what people commonly refer as IR to EQ. For example IR (FIR) are very processing power consuming. On a Helix you are limited to 1 block of 2048 pts IR…. While EQ are not DSP consuming and you can use as many as you want. If IR was just EQ it would make no sens to use FIR filters… Joe, please read this link for more detailed information. I hope you will find it instructive. https://www.minidsp.com/applications...-iir-filtering

The IR level control, which Nux outlined to me in an email response and which is in the manual, is for simply turning up the IR. It's not blending from dry to processed as you have pointed out. It's simply to correct any potential drops in volume from a created IR. To be completely honest, if this was a true blend control, I would be all over the Optima Air as I think it sounds awesome. Edit: Just thinking about it further, was there potentially a firmware update recently that made this a true blend control? If so, Nux didn't advertise it. |

Listen to NuXOAtest - testing different gain and IR level settings by guitaniac on #SoundCloud
https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/wvNHE Here are the recording samples promised. The first sample is with the IR off. The second sample is with the IR level at 9 o'clock and the gain at 1:30. The last sample has the IR level full on (5 o'clock) and the gain at 10:30. The IR is #9, the Martin D45. All samples were normalized to -1 db, peak to peak. I'll try to edit and include some pics. http://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0cJtdOXmKKtXBm Last edited by guitaniac; 01-06-2022 at 05:16 PM. |

Would you mind sending me a 2-track recording (2min) so I can make an IR of your(s) guitar(s)? Pm me a google drive/Dropbox link.

I understand why you wouldn’t want to alter the UST/mic balance. I finally gave up on finding the perfect UST/mic balance. I just set the balance as well as possible and started EQing the crap out of it. My suspicion is that the pickup is overly strong at the crossover frequency around 250Hz. My cedar topped OM is also overly strong in that zone, so it creates an EQ challenge. I’m hoping that a well-balanced IR will compensate for that issue. Albeit, I’d have to use a high percentage of IR or the blend would get tubby sounding.

this comparison video conviced me to buy Optima Air
Now I am not so happy that IR level is not true Blend because for akuIR technology is absolutely crucial when I set IR level for minimum, this is still too much of IR in sound, I will do more test with own impulses (which are another crucial point, always much better than any external ) |
