To create an IR, you first need to record a test signal through the desired cabinet. Most IR’s are recorded at a single volume and then loaded into an effects processor for application.
Zoom’s innovative Multi-Layer IR technology combines three IRs recorded at different volumes. This more faithfully recreates the tonal characteristics and feel of playing through real classic amps and cabinets.
The MS-80IR+ sports stereo inputs and outputs, allowing you to transform your signal with immersive stereo FX or process stereo signals as part of your signal chain. But if stereo isn’t your thing, the dual outputs also provide a handy utility in the form of a mono splitter.
Split your signal into two mono signals, with one output going to your amp and another heading to a PA system, fully processed with amp and cab IRs. Or, use the left output as a headphone out, letting you practice in silence whiile enjoying the full glory of your amp and cab models.
Record audio directly into your computer or smartphone with the handy USB-C connection, built into the MS-80IR+. With the USB connection, you can also receive MIDI signals, allowing you to remotely trigger patch changes.
The with Guitar Lab app (iOS only), you can browse effects, backup patches, and load up to 80 customizable IRs. Load IRs from your own collection for a truly personal sound.
