Guitar/Bass Cab IR's

What are some of the really good IR's to use with amp sims? 
 
I've heard Ownhammer and Two Notes are pretty good, but some of it isn't all that. I just got a pack from Two notes (Hop Pole Studio), but still learning my way around/testing them out. Some are really nice, while others are a bit meh.
 
I've read good things about Dr. Bonkers IR's as well: https://www.drbonkerssoundlab.com/product/dr-bonkers-guitar-cab-oddities-volume-a-jmld-4x14-guitar-cabinet-ir-collection/
 
Would like to know what you guys/gals have tested and recommend?

    I have a heap of Ownhammer and Two notes stuff, they are ok, but I really only ever use Redwirez, Celestion and Rosen Digital impulses.

    It's been ages since the site was updated. But the IR are still really good. That hasn't changed.
     
    They have some free stuff. Give it a try. Go to site and scroll down a bit and you will see it.

    I've read good things about them too and will get some IR's from them. I was planning on using the Two Notes Wall of Sound plugin to load all these IR's from different vendors and insert it after the amp sim. Just wondered if there is a "preferred" method or IR loader that you all use? (I primarily use Amplitube 4, Bias Fx Pro, and TH3 for amp sims)
    Redwirez of course recommends their mixIR2  
    Which is $49 or free if buy the Big Box Bundle (not sure I'd want to make that commitment....yet).

    i've just lately really got to playing around with ir's, now that i've wrapped my most recent album...


    i've beg borrowed bought and stolen a bunch of ir's, i've found that i'm rotating around the Celestion IR's the most,
    greenbacks and Blues mostly...

    but no matter what i do, i cannot get a better sound than i get using my Palmer PDI-09 direct (sounds like a sm57 on different cabs), and/or simply micing up a good cranked-up rig in my treated mixing room or my large basement living room.

    i can see where guys that don't have decent rooms and cannot play as loud as they want, would use these,
    but i'm not feeling the love.

    Some time ago I grabbed the Peavey Revalver on sale and some great irs come with it.  Right now it's $99, so if it shows up on sale again it might be worth grabbing. 
     
    As for loading irs I usually just use the software that comes with Revalver (you can load it separately from the amp models) and that way you can use their irs with any modeler (their irs are proprietary).

    You haven't lived until you've taken the Rorschach.

    What IR loader do you guys like? I have a bunch of IRs and haven't found a great way to circle through them all to test and sample them on a given track.

    At the risk of derailing this thead:
     
    If you already have a nice tube-amp/s... and you're you're looking for a great sounding (silent) means to record it;
    check out the UA Ox Amp Top Box.
    It's not cheap, but it's the closest you'll come to the sound of a cranked-up fully mic'd amp.
    Here's a video of a "dimed" Marshall JMP-1970 recorded using the OX:

    Hi,
    Celestion and Red Wire Ir's using Pristine Space ( I got some years ago) bridged with Jbridge ,a little bit capricious,but I prefer it compared with Th3 with wich I never know what is going on.
    Using a french attenator named P&P which costs around 60 boxes ,not as good as the one mentionned above but less expensive.....,I have a cheap Peavey Classic 30, and I am glad I can use it from time to time at home with this tool. When I record guitar ,I mute the output of the attenuator and don't use the direct out which I don't like but plug the external hp output ( which is after the attenuator,...allows to use the gain of the amp without overloading the signal chain) of the amp in a Redbox from Hugues and Kettner ( I think you can get one for 5 boxes) into the soundcard ,or whatever in I want ( preamp or mixer...),I think it can make some part of the trick..The brand P&P is worth a look ( no endorsement) and I think the guy can ship it oversea...
    Hope it helps.
    Olivier.

    I like my Red Box 5 a lot.  H&K recommends and provides a mic IR.

    Ownhammer and Celestionplus get the most use here. Redwirez has the excellent MixIRII, and a ton of good IRs.

    If you're going to use Wall of Sound - try their own format cabs (they're not "normal" IRs). You get a couple with the download, otherwise they don't cost any more than IRs - AND you can audition them within the plugin - before you buy.

    Otherwise - I like the Ownhammer ones the best.
