This is a decent-sounding IR loader, but I have still not yet been successful in loading 3rd party IRs. I have followed the instructions implicitly and I have double and triple checked (x100) that I have everything correct: file format, samplie rate, bit-depth. EVERYTHING. But every time I load one of my own IRs it just sounds as bypass signal when I try it out. I like the stock cabs, so I use them anyway, but sadly I never got to load any other IRs successfully. Still good bang for the buck though.

@@SONICAKE Ah cool, that's reasonable (like being on the other side of the stage to your amp). Sounds great, and thanks for such a quick (impulse) response!

Looks a great product! I have a Black Spirit 200 amp head (which allows its own cab sims to be turned off) which I use with an FRFR cab (regular guitar cab with an F12 x200 speaker fitted connected from the speak out). Would I be able to use with this method and where would it appear in the chain?
So if I want to practice with my band through headphones, and I'm using the headphone jack of the amp head into the mixer, will I put between the amp head headphone jack and the mixer?
Question, will I be able to use a preamp type pedal like a REVVg4 or be od, into the ir loader, into a frfr headrush? Will it sound good? Is it meant to do that?... Thanks 👍
Help needed: I'm using the Sonicake IR with impulses from Mendel (Yellow IR pack). They are in 24bit/44.1kHz .wav format. I had to use the online converter in order to use it with the pedal but after the conversion the original file size dropped to 4 kbit and it sounds different from what I hear using an IR loader with the original impulse in my DAW. Is this normal?
Well, that depends a lot on the converter. The drop in size is normal, and as you're changing the sample of the IR it will probably sound different too. You may want to try other converters.
Hi man ,need little help 1) it says I have to rename as 01 my ir 4x12 , is it this 4x12 is must ? for example if i have a ir named = greenback sm58 center ( will work if I just put 01 in the beginning ? or 4x12 or 2x12 is must ? 2) memory is only 236 kB ,what to do If i have ir like 500 kB is there way to compress? or convert those big it's ?
Hey, thanks for reaching out to us. The Sonic IR has 11 on-board Classic Guitar/Bass Cabinet Simulations with Volume Control, more details of CAB Models please refer to our website, maybe it has the sound you want! www.sonicake.com/products/sonic-ir
If you want this pedal to work with your multieffects unit, you have to disable CAB or SPK or Speaker simulation in all your presets or all your banks. That way the SoniCake will be doing its job properly. Of course, you can leave the AMP simulation ON
Can i use this in a live set up so i dont have to bring my guitar amp and head?? it's getting really exhausting setting that up all the time and get rather heavy LOL
Hi Neo, SONIC IR is a simple and efficient cabinet simulator delivering 11 selected classic guitar/bass cabinet models, it can not be used with violin IRs.
This sonicake person that replied to you doesn't know what an electric violin is 🧐I'm an E Violinist and as far as I know, any guitar pedal can be used on an electric violin because the pickup is built the same way 😉👍
I don't know what happens, but most of the impulse response I carry to use on the pedal, doesn't work. Especially the acoustic guitar files. Is there a specific file configuration for the pedal to read? If so, what would it be?
Please visit www.sonicake.com/collections/mini-stompbox/products/sonic-ir, there is very detailed documentation and the original IR files can be used to reset your pedal.
@@SONICAKE I've followed all instructions and checked all details, but I have not been successful in loading any IRs other than the stock ones. I can load them on the pedal ok, but they make no sound, only bypass when selected.
Sonic IR usually reads 20ms, but as long as the imported audio format is correct, 350ms files are also fine, please notice even if importing 350ms files, we will only fetch 20ms content. It is recommended that you perform file format conversion through our website here: ir-converter.sonicake.net/#/
No need for other software. Here is the operation guide: Connect to computer to import your IR files. The Sonic IR will be recognized as a USB disk when connected. To import an IR file: 1.Drag and drop an IR file into the USB disk. The IR file should be a 24-bit, 44.1kHz mono wav file ONLY. File name should start with a location number ranging from 01-11 (e.g. “06 My IR 4x12” is a correct name; the “06” indicates the location the file will be saved). 2.Delete the original file with the same location number. 3.Delete the “FILELIST” file in the USB disk. 4.Eject and restart the unit.

Are there any other effects (compressor, reverb, etc) besides the amp head and the cab sim? Thank you
Just CAB sims. Thanks.
Wow!
The p10 output also has impulse response?
Yes
What do u mean by p10?
How loud does the volume go? My tonelab ST max output is low so i hope the Sonicake IR can dish out a lot more volume.
So if I want to practice with my band through headphones, and I'm using the headphone jack of the amp head into the mixer, will I put between the amp head headphone jack and the mixer?
The IR comes right after your AMP in any connection.
Question, will I be able to use a preamp type pedal like a REVVg4 or be od, into the ir loader, into a frfr headrush? Will it sound good? Is it meant to do that?... Thanks 👍
Technically that will work, now, regarding the results, you need to be the judge. Tone is VERY subjective.
This would be more helpful if it compared the source signal with and without the effect.
Not really. The direct signal from an amp before it hits the speaker sounds horrid. There would be no benefit to playing that signal.
Amazing sound!
Not know before this technology. I need a extra preamp pedal to use Sonic IR?
Yes, the IR just emulates a cabinet, without a preamp you have no sound.
The distortion tones was by your drive channel of the peavey preamp or the pedal also have Dist simulation?
The distortion is from the Peavey.
Is this also a preamp? Or just a cabsim?
Would this be good if i was running a large pedalboard directly into a PA without an amp? And would a preamp pedal be needed as well?
Hi. Can I use XRL Out for the FOH with cab sim and the other standard out with out cab sim in order to plug it in my amp or poweramp?
prettty sure u can, both output has cab sim i think.
Does it need to be plugged wigh the xlr or can i just use it with my practice amp
you can place it according to that. Straight into an amp doesn't make much sense… but like everything regarding tone… it can work for you.
Is there a way to turn it off or bypass it?
It’s possible use both outputs, the xlr and the p10 one at same time? (Thinking in a way to separate a signal with delay other without)
Yes, it is, but you don't have independent control over each.
Hi there. Question from my side. The capacity limit is 240K? I'm looking for IR for bass with low size.

2) memory is only 236 kB ,what to do If i have ir like 500 kB is there way to compress? or convert those big it's ?

2) IR can be only recognized 1024 points. You can cut the IR short with a DAW.
