you write as if revalver III's sound can be solely attributed to its specific use of ir's. the ones included with revalver may well be freely available but that does not mean that one is obliged to use them. i have already noted that i use third party ir's. moreover, i use them in conjunction with revalver and think of them in those terms.redshift factor wrote:Not just any impulses. The specific impulses used in Revalver. They're all free from noisevault.com. They're not proprietary. They weren't developed for Revalver. They were simply collected from the net and packaged in with Revalver. And anyone can download them for themselves and not bother with Revalver at all, especially now that it's been jacked up by Peavey and abandoned by the side of the road.kewlio wrote:to state that impulses are freely available would seem redundant. to suggest that "you can get the Revalver cab sound without revalver" when that sound by your very definition is a combination of amp and ir, is simply nonsense.
then if you persist on defining revalver's sound solely in terms of impulses perhaps it would be more accurate to describe them in those terms alone without the qualifier. they are 'cabinet impulses' whose sound changes relative to the amp modeller they are used with. revalver's sound does not reside specifically within the cabinet impulses or the amp modelling alone but in a combination between the two. both are core components of revalver's sound. separating the two and quibbling over which emulation is superior is specious when that is not how are they are used in practice.redshift factor wrote:Revalver's cab sound is from the impulses. That is my definition. Stop attributing things to me that I never said.
that you or i prefer one over the other comes down to subjective taste. i do not, however, need to prove which is superior in order to validate my own choice.
revalver continues to be in development with version III.V to be released sometime in the near future, redshift. perhaps it might help to get your facts right before you toss around provocative phrases like 'jacked up' and 'abandoned'.
Obviously not the depth and flexibility of a commercial plug in package, but man, if I was broke this thing would be in most of my projects. One of the things about me I notice is that once I find a tool that I like, it tends to be my go-to thing unless it offers something very different than the tool I'm used to.
