I got tired of those amp sim plugins tricking me with different IR files then sell me as amp packs again and again, so I made this ultimate solution to rule them all. With AnyAmpIR, I don’t give you any amp, I give you the ability to play any amp, immediately (no distortion, only clean tone shaping).
AnyAmpIR can be any guitar/bass amp you want, and it’s suuuuuuper efficient. Just batch load all of your IR collection, SAVE AS PRESET IN DAW, then start playing and have fun. It’s also super light weight on CPU & ram & storage usage, basically a production monster for any guitar/bass based producer.
Why changing amp is important?
The tone of electric guitar & bass is massively shaped by amp & cabinet & mic, even with the same guitar + string + pickup + pedal settings + playing, you’ll still hear totally different sounds out of different amp solutions. Exploring amp/cabinet/mic combo for different style could be the most fun part for any player, but the problem is not everyone can afford/store so many amps/cabinets at home, so here comes AnyAmpIR, allowing you to explore your tone unlimitedly, you can recreate your favorite amp/cab tone super efficiently, anywhere and anytime, made for musician, by musician.
What is IR?
Short for impulse response, which can keep the entire cable + amp + cabinet + mic’s static EQ & compression + room reverb information almost perfectly for your guitar/bass, how they will affect the tone are all saved within this IR file, which usually is just a 1 second tiny wav file around 20KB. And studio quality IR files are free everywhere nowadays, you can even make your own version. Although IR doesn’t capture amp’s distortion, but you can always pair overdrive/distortion with IR to dirt up the tone, which is really fun. IR is the most efficient solution to replace all of those stupidly heavy, annoyingly loud, living-space-robberingly huge, and unnecessarily expensive amps/cabinets, also those annoying amp sim plugins who just want to suck all of your money with IR presets and endless settings and knobs.

Installation:
Windows
VST3 – copy & paste the extracted VST3 file to this folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
(If there isn’t this folder, create a new one following the same path name, or just put it to any folder you like, but remember to let your DAW scan this folder)
macOS
AU – copy & paste the extracted component file to this folder: yourcomputername/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components/
VST3 – copy & paste the extracted VST3 file to this folder: yourcomputername/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST3/
Extra tips for MAC Installation:
* To make sure you can use it on your Mac, you need to run this command in Terminal to allow softwares from unknown developer:
sudo spctl –master-enable* If you couldn’t open it on Mac due to signing issue, open it first, then open Security&Privacy in System Preference, select General tab (not needed for Ventura), click Open Anyway, reopen your DAW.
* If clicking Open Anyway doesn’t working, follow these steps:
Quit System Preference
Open Terminal and run
sudo spctl ––master-disable(Need to use computer password, this will let your Mac run softwares from unidentified developer, no hurt, will still ask you every time when using this kind software.)
Reopen DAW, clear plugin cache and re-scan plugins
Get the warning, then go back to System Preference – Security & Pravicy – General (not needed for Ventura) – Open Anyway.
* Find the plugin file, right-click and choose „Open With“ Terminal.app.* Remember to try restart your computer, especially for macOS Catalina.
* If you couldn’t find the plugin in your GarageBand/Logic Pro X, first you may have to clear GB/Logic’s plug-ins cache:
Quit GarageBand/Logic
Open Finder – click Go in status bar – hold Option key then click Library
Remove ~/Library/Caches/AudioUnitCache folder
Remove ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.logic10 folder
Remove ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.garageband10 folder
Remove ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.InfoHelper.plist file
Reboot your Mac and launch GarageBand/Logic
Now your Mac will rescan all the AUs.If not, open Terminal, first run:
killall -9 AudioComponentRegistrar
then run:
auval -al
* If your DAW can find it but saying it can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. Open Terminal, run:
sudu xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine DRAG IN THE PLUGIN FILE PATH
then re-open your DAW.
