Resonator Guitar with magnetic PU: any good IRs out there?

  • Just recently I achieved good results using an IR for a Martin Dread and a piezo PU. Then I looked for IRs I could use with my National Resophonic single cone with a hot plate (thats a Lollar single coil PU with controls), but I couldn´t find any.

    Does someone has some hints for me? Free Ir/Rigs or commercial, both are welcome.

  • I answer to myself ;) .

    I found an IR for a resophonic guitar with a magnetic pu at http://acousticir.free.fr and it sounded... good but not completely convincing.

    Than I made my own IR using the free online IR generator at http://acousticir.free.fr/spip.php?article244 and it sounded ... good but not completely convincing 8).

    So I gave up, at least for the moment. Maybe I have to accept that it is not so easy to make an IR for my purpose, which is quite different from steelstring with under saddle pu.


    My last gig showed me that nice playing, setlist choice, friendliness and a great show is more important for the audience than fine nuances in sound. And btw: the National reso withe the lollar pu doesn´t sound bad at all. For recording I would allways choose a good microphone, of course.
