Please recommend me some clean guitar amp IRs.

I'm going to be putting a synth recordings through them for a tiny bit of flavour (about 20% amp 80% DI signal mix). Synth parts are very mid-rangy, so I'm not concerned about loosing bass / high frequencies.

Maybe something like a Fender 65 Twin Custom 15 might work? Or something else?

Happy to pay for good impulses. Equality happy to use excellent quality freebies.

Might use Voxengo Boogex as the host, unless anyone recommends a different IR host.

Thank you.

Are you looking for cabinet IR's or amp sims? Tube amps are VERY dyanmic and IR's are VERY static. For that reason, IR's wouldn't do a great job with capturing clean guitar amps. But in a special FX sort of way, maybe you could get something.

I'd recommend just using the free version of ToneX and finding some clean captures you like. That'll get you a great clean guitar amp sound.

Yep, Tonex or NAM have a lot of good captures available these days (many free)

Thank you. I was unaware of that.

I have downloaded the free version of ToneX. It's absolutely fantastic - 'Pushed Oldie' is perfect for this application. Thank you for the recommendation.
