What is a Reflex IR?
Reflex IRs are raw and unprocessed captures that are naturally mix-ready. It has become common practice to rely on post-processing guitar tones and simply accepting the flaws in guitar cabinet designs. The reality is that traditional guitar cabs are not optimized for miking up but were designed for loud stage use while a modern guitarist's first priority is a high quality miked up guitar tone. While we love the sound of traditional guitar cabs, Mikko Logrén of ML Sound Lab has always felt a limitation that is out of his control - not anymore.
Everyone loves the big 4x12 closed back sound because of the extended bass response and depth, however that low end many times becomes a problem when trying to get guitars to sit in the mix. Also standing waves in most 4x12 designs add problematic artefacts in the mid-range. In comparison Reflex IRs have an even deeper bass response without a sharp resonant rumble frequency and an extremely neutral mid-range. Open back guitar combo designs tend to have a more neutral mid range, however they have a muddy build-up in the low-mids and lack deep low frequencies. All of these problems were solved at the source with a special guitar cab design made by Paul Gough from Zilla Cabs that is fuller range with a flatter response.
