Frequently Asked Questions

The footswitch provides a fast, clean A/B switch, perfect for quickly comparing IRs or blending them. TC's footswitches are generally reliable and responsive, even with repeated use.
It accepts standard .WAV impulse response files, giving you access to a huge range of third-party IRs from virtually any reputable source. Just ensure they’re properly formatted for optimal results.
If your multi-effects unit’s IRs sound lackluster or you need a dedicated, high-quality cab simulation without the extra processing, the Impulse IR Loader is a great complement.
