https://github.com/itsmusician/IR-Library

It adds around 250 new IRs, includes many changes to the category system, adds a reference page, and some other things. There is a very thorough changelog included.

Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed using these and shared them thus far. I hope to continue to improve this library and am always happy to take suggestions.
Thank you so much.

Interesting, thank you very much!

These are great, thank you. The hardware H90 has gone down the gear wishlist placings for now, whilst I make do with these.

Hello once again, so I just recently discovered this website containing some free IR's of some digital reverb units like the Alesis Wedge, Lexicon MPX-1, and among others.

Thank you very much. The Zystrix Modern Reverbs (penultimate link in that page) sound interesting to me and potentially useful in my case, especially the recording studio, hall, arena and churches categories.

Excellent, thank you. I hadn't found some of those collections.

Hello once again, I stumbled across this Avantone Mixcube IR of the tone3000 website which some of you might find useful for checking your mix or to be used as a sound effect or something similar: https://www.tone3000.com/tones/avantone-mixcubes-6705

In addition, the website actually has tons of free IR ranging from guitar/bass cab to some reverb/FX processor and alike, so feel free to browse the interesting library of IR's they have in there: https://www.tone3000.com/

Anyone got any Ocean Way Studios IRs? :)
Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Has anyone got any good EMT250 IRs. My DMs are open.
