What sets the Bogren Digital impulses apart?
Capturing the essence of a speaker cabinet, microphone, preamp, and other components in the recording chain, the Bogren Digital Jens Bogren Signature IR Pack: Rhythm provides you with a collection of Impulse Responses that accurately replicate this chain of equipment. Unlike amp sims or real amps, these IRs are solely focused on everything that occurs after the amp head. It is estimated that around 80 of your tone is attributed to the cabinet and microphone. Even with the best tube amp head, a poorly chosen cab, improper microphone positioning, or inadequate signal processing can affect your overall sound quality.
A different approach
Unlike most impulse responses available, which only capture raw speaker tones, the Jens Bogren Signature IR Pack takes a more musical and contextual approach. Reflecting the artist's own production methods, these IRs capture the entire chain used in Jens Bogren's productions. This includes the microphone, preamp, mic blends, EQ, and final EQ to ensure the tone fits seamlessly into a song. By incorporating the entire signal chain, this pack empowers you to easily dial in great tones while remaining focused on the songwriting process. Additionally, these IRs have been meticulously crafted to suit the styles of renowned artists Jens Bogren has worked with in the past, such as Sepultura, Kreator, Between The Buried and Me, Amorphis, Katatonia, Ihsahn, Mokoma, and more. As an added benefit, shaping the tone before going digital helps maintain a natural and organic sound, as it responds better to EQ adjustments in the analogue domain.
Why choose the 'Rhythm' pack?
While some musicians may prefer using the same setup for all guitar parts, this can result in overlapping frequencies and a lack of distinction between parts. Jens Bogren's personal experience and expertise have led him to develop specific cabs for rhythm, lead, and clean guitar parts. By tailoring the cab selection for each part, the resonance in heavy rhythm guitars is improved, ensuring the low-end frequencies are properly defined. Furthermore, Jens Bogren employs different microphone techniques, blends, and EQ settings for rhythm guitars, enhancing their presence in the mix. To offer a comprehensive package that aligns with the artist's own process, the Jens Bogren Signature IR Pack offers different packs for different guitar parts. If you're looking to expand your tonal palette and explore Jens Bogren's approach to lead and clean tones, be sure to check out his 'LEAD + CLEAN' IR pack. By blending the resonating and "singing" lead tones with the IRs from the Rhythm pack, you can create a fresh and unique range of rhythm sounds. Highly recommended for those seeking versatility and creativity in their guitar tones.
