AnyAmpIR by 衍 孟 (Michael Mon / PlayPM) Released

Description:
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.
Hi, I'm Michael, I made a video series called GAS Therapy on my YouTube channel playpm, focusing on sharing cheaper and better music gear solutions, now it also becomes a plugin brand, I will continue to share my knowledge under multiple formats, stay tuned.
AnyAmpIR can be any guitar/bass amp you want, and it's super 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.
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 also 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. Now with AnyAmpIR, you can recreate your favorite amp tone super efficiently within minimum cost, anywhere and anytime.
Why changing amp is important?
The tone of electric guitar & bass is massively shaped by amp & cabinet, even with the same guitar + string + pickup + pedal settings + playing, you'll still hear totally different sounds out of different amps. Exploring amps for different styles 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, made for musician, by musician.
Why AnyAmpIR?
No annoying in-app-purchase just for another amp model, you have endless possibility
No annoying online register
No annoying anti-humanity learning curve
No CPU & ram wasted for stupidly fancy UI which nobody can hear
No more eyestrain, forces you to judge your tone by ears and brain
No freaking 1GB just for a guitar amp! Only 7MB
Precise amp tone replication from IR
Elegant touch on classic amp looking
These are the reasons why I made AnyAmpIR, now I can get rid of all of those greedy companies, and you know who I'm referring to.
4 buttons:
Batch Load File - support IR files in .wav/.mp3/.aif
Previous Amp
Next Amp
Copy File Name - one day you'll thank me for this
2 knobs:
IR Scroller - quickly switch between amps
Output Gain - fine tune output volume
Others:
Standalone supported (w/ keyboard shortcut)
AUv3 supported
DAW builtin preset management supported when in AUv3
Inter-App-Audio supported in AudioShare & AUM
Super intuitive to use
Super light weight on CPU & ram & storage usage
Doesn't duplicate any unnecessary meta files on your device
Cloud drive supported
One time purchase, no subscription bullsh*t
Buy me a coffee supported through IAP
Offline use supported
No bass/mid/treble EQ or presence control, they're a joke in DAW
If amp tone replication is not enough for you, I got these amp themes supported to trick your mind:
Michelle
Finder Tweek
Finder Twin Delay
FOX
Mega Boogie
Pee-vee
London Town
Ampig
Sorry for my bad English, but amp theme will automatically update if you got the right keyword in your IR file/folder name

I love this guy and his hype-busting efforts.
His sample player is nice.
Sure, every single dev bothered with modelling non-linearity is a fool...
It’s like saying sampler is a 100% substitute for a synth.
There is a reason IRs generally used for Cab+Mic only, Amp/Drive stage is a completely different story.
Hopefully I’m missing the point...
I'm not 100% convinced that IR is the 'holy grail of gear & space emulation' as it's a one-time snapshot made in a specific environment at a specific spot in time. Speakers react differently at different temperatures and so do microphones...
...so one would need to do massive round-robin of the IR impulses to have a remote chance of faithfully re-creating the environment or equipment.
For some strange reason IR/Convolution-Reverbs to me sound quite 'static & dead' compared to real-time algorithmically generated reverbs. Push a sample thru an IR profile and it sounds exactly (bit by bit) the same over and over again which never happens in real life...
I do feel that real circuit modeling is the way to go and the difference will be felt and heard...
But sure many won't hear the difference so I guess I'm just too 'analog'
So, how is it? Is there a large collection of IR included?
I think the comparison of IR to samples vs. synth, and criticism of the lack of range is pretty accurate.
They are useful if you want to copy a tone, but not if you want to explore the range of a particular amp model that an IR is based on.
You need an amp modeler or simulator to do that, and some picky people think even those are a joke when compared to a real amp.
Ok I took the plunge. This is excellent. Load a loop and it will completely change your instrument into something new. Huge amount of creation here… No IR available at start but you can load almost anything on this app.
Yeah Michael is a classic character indeed and I like his anti-influencer style.
Oh so it’s more than just an amp/IR loader?
It's just a simple but light ir loader,
The main advantage I think is that, like his AASamplePlayer, it links to your wav files on the files app or whatever on your device, rather than saving them inside the app itself, useful for not taking up much space on your ipad. It doesn't have anything like the tweakability of AltiSpace 2, though. AltiSpace has a limit on how long it can play an IR for, think it's 10 seconds, not sure if this one has such a limit.
Oh sweet! I really enjoy the sampler app. I’ll have to give this one a shot soon. Love me some AltiSpace though. I only have a couple of IR apps but that’s one of my favorites.
Yes, it's all about simplicity here. I used Thafknar for IR but it became such a heavy app (15 Gb) that I had to purge it and it is less interesting now...This app is much better to experiment new kind of IR. I haven't found a duration limit, you can load a full song as an IR.
The latter point is good to know. 15GB, Jesus H. OK so now I can really see the appeal of AnyAmpIR for ppl really into IRs. I only have a small collection. AltiSpace 2 with some pretty long IR packs I downloaded only clocks in around half a gig for me.
Thafknar isn't 15GB. It's tiny. If you load 15GB of IRs into it, then it will appear to be 15GB. My installation weighs in at 28.7 mb because I'm selective about which IRs I keep in the app.
And that isn't even correct in terms of actual device storage. Yes, the app would report 15gb if you loaded that much into it, but if those files were already on the device somewhere, then total storage is actually unaffected. iOS doesn't actually copy the file, it makes an "alias" for it.
We've talked about this before ...
https://wiki.audiob.us/doku.php?id=file_storage
Yes true, thanks for reminding me, and of course I was not saying that thafknar is 15gb
I wonder how that sounds, load any loop as IR? Does anyone have a sound example or YouTube link? Don't have Altiverb, or any other IR app to test it myself.
This dev does videos.. right? But I can't see any demos of this app on his channel.
Anyone got a vid of this app?
This is just about as basic as the convolver module in Drambo...
No where are those high-quality 20kb amp IR files hiding?!
I think I prefer to keep being fooled by the likes of Nembrini, TH-U and Rhino and what more, forgotten right now. This because they have so much more and also the looks. For me that is important although I know it doesn't do anything (but please the eye). The esthetics of these apps make my eyes sad 🙄🤣 Ridiculous? Probably but it only affects me so...let me have it😊
Even with IR based emulations I prefer to have some visual assistance even though behind the scene the plug-ins just select a different IR file when moving the microphone etc.
(I'm a sucker for Logic's Amp Designer thingie).
AFAIK, IR’s can’t capture distortion characteristics of amps or the non-linear response which is a critical aspect of amp sound and good amp sims.
The claim that this would replace all amp sims sounds pretty hype-y to me.
Yep... bad reviews were discussed recently... well, if this was free I would download just to leave a bad review... completely misleading description and the dev portrayed as some kind of Robin Hood of audio community.
Most IRs you’ll find on the internet are only cab+mic anyway... even the clean sound is dead and you probably won’t see any demo where gain is crucial... it would quickly give it away.
But who knows, maybe fooling your customers is a viable business model...
Yeah that sounds like a fair comment
This is Michael's response. I have zero skin in the game here as I don't use guitar amp sims except a couple of Nembrini ones I got early on for general saturation etc.
Tested: Where Does The Tone Come From In A Guitar Amplifier?
How does that video relate to whether IRs can accomplish the saturation and non-linear response of amps and amp sims? I didn’t watch every minute of the video, but i didn’t see anything relevant to this question.
No idea, didn't watch it, I'm not very interested in this topic personally, just posted the app was released for those who are interested
Hey everyone, thanks for pointing out the misleading description, I got them revised with the latest update of AnyAmpIR, now it's more accurate. What you see in AppStore is only part of my next project, I'll share the whole picture with you in my GAS Therapy video, see you there~
Updating the description in the original post now 🍻
it strikes me as odd to for a dev to claim their app is a substitute for amp sims and be> @playpm said:
I find the updated description is still not accurate and might be considered misleading. IRs don't replicate the sound/experience of playing through an amp. So, they aren't a general replacement for amp sims for most applications.
Amp sims aren't tricking people with IRs. In good amp sims, the IR is a small though important part of what they offer. IRs typically are used for the cabinet sound but not the amp sound itself which uses other techniques to create responsive distortion.
The notion that IRs are the central part of what amps sims do is mistaken.
