Celestion has announced its new line of Bass Impulse Responses. The new Bass IR line beginning with the new collections of 10-inch PULSE10 and 15-inch PULSE15 speaker tones is available for audition and download at CelestionPlus.
“Guitar players who create their tone with amp modellers and emulators or direct into DAWs know that we are there to help them deliver great classic Celestion tone with our acclaimed range of Impulse Responses,” said Nigel Wood, Managing Director at Celestion. “We are very pleased to introduce our new Bass IRs so that bass players can have tones designed just for them.”
Celestion has recorded the new Bass IRs with selections of microphones popular for bass guitar recording, and include two by ten, four by ten and one by fifteen cabinets, plus options for IRs that are tailored to specific playing styles. For each Celestion bass speaker, the IRs featured the most appropriate cabs for the speaker size. And for each cab type, the IRs have been recorded using three industry standard microphones, placed in the same positions relative to the speaker’s cone to produce a range of different tones – balanced, dark, dark 2, bright, fat and thin.
The Bass IRs also includes a range of mic mixes and room mic recordings, for additional tonal variety, creating an extensive IR library for each speaker. An HF horn driver recording is also included, which can be mixed together with the cone driver IRs to add additional treble to the tone. The Bass IR collections include a range of different bass style mixes to get you up and running fast: Finger Basic, Finger Warmth Detail, Slap, Plectrum (Pick) Basic and Plectrum (Pick) Aggressive.
Celestion PULSE10 bass speaker IR collection has been designed to provide a rock-solid bass performance, with all the dynamic control you’d expect from a 10-inch speaker. Whether at home, in the studio, or live onstage, the Celestion PULSE10 collection offers a wide tonal and stylistic variety. The PULSE10 collection contains both cabinet options: 2×10 (ported) and 4×10 (closed). These cabinet options can be bought separately; or together as a collection, which is supplied with the five style mixes for a substantial saving. Alternatively, you can include a PULSE10 cabinet in a Pick & Mix selection.
The new Celestion PULSE15 IR collection is a powerhouse which provides powerful, deep bass tone, designed with Celestion technology built-in to hold down the bottom end. With Celestion technology built in, this superbly designed sonic artillery includes a host of forward-thinking features in the cone, voice coil, chassis and suspension system that combine to provide an exceptionally linear performance free from unwanted distortion, but full of rich musicality.
The Celestion PULSE10 and PULSE15 single cabinets can also be included in a Pick & Mix selection. The Pick & Mix option allows customers to select combinations of either three or five cabinets from the company’s full range of original IRs, offering flexibility in building a personal IR library at significant savings compared to purchasing individual IRs.
