Do you offer trial versions of any products?

I would like to use your IRs in my commercially available preset pack. Am I allowed to do this?

You may use our IRs in the creation of your preset pack. However, you may not sell our IRs directly to your customers with said preset pack. You will need to point your customers to our website to purchase the corresponding IRs. This applies to Line 6 Marketplace Vendors. Being an official vendor does not grant you a license to directly sell our IRs. You will need to follow the same process as any other vendor.

I would like to license a 3 Sigma Audio product for my company’s product. How do I do this?

Please contact our customer service email listed on the site.

CAB IMPULSES

Current Version

Version 3

What’s New in V3?

  • Introduced New IR Layout of Balanced/Warm/Bright/BrightX allowing for infinite tonal options
  • 2x as many IRs compared to V2
  • 4x as many IRs compared to V1

Are these compatible with my software or hardware unit?

Yes! They are compatible with any software or hardware unit that supports the loading of 3rd party IRs. Please refer to the manual of your specific software or hardware for information on loading.

Where are the ACE IRs from V2?

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response of the ACE IRs in V2, we discontinued the Standard IRs from V2 and remastered every Cab Pack for V3. This means every IR in our collection is now made with the ACE method, as such the ACE prefix designation is no longer notated.

I purchased a Preset Pack from a 3rd party vendor that uses your V2 IRs. Which IRs should I use from the V3 Collection?

We suggest using the Balanced IRs if the vendor used the V2 ACE IRs, and the Bright IRs if they used the V2 Standard IRs.

Do you have any affiliation with 3rd party preset makers using your IRs?

While we appreciate the use of our IRs in the creation of their presets, we do not have direct affiliation with any 3rd party preset vendors. As such, we cannot provide you with any type of customer service regarding their preset packs.

ACOUSTIC IMPULSES

 

Current Version

Version 4

What’s New in V4?

  • Access to 10 Individual Microphone IRs for Infinite Sonic Shaping
  • Addition of New Highly Requested Models
  • Improved Electric Modeling
  • Introduction of the 3 Sigma AIR file format to be used in our new Acoustic IR Loader Acoustify

Are these compatible with my software or hardware unit?

Yes! They are compatible with any software or hardware unit that supports the loading of 3rd party IRs. Please refer to the manual of your specific software or hardware for information on loading.

My Acoustic Impulses are quiet compared to my Cabinet Impulses. Is my loader broken?

The majority of IR Loaders have a normalization algorithm that is tuned specifically for Cabinet IRs. Because of this, Acoustic IRs will normalize much quieter in those loaders. You simply need to add gain back within the IR loader. This can be done with the level adjustment within the IR loader, or performing a clean level boost with the output of an EQ block.

Note: You will NOT degrade the audio quality by doing this. As long as you are adding digital gain into the signal, it will remain 100% pure.

Do I need to own the instrument you modeled to achieve it’s sound?

Nope! You can use the instrument you already own 🙂

Are these presets compatible with Helix/LT/Native/Stomp/StompXL?

Are these presets compatible with HX Effects?

No — The HX Effects does not contain amp models, as such the presets will never be brought to this platform.
