Match a reference guitar tone and export it as a cabinet IRIR MatchMaker is for guitar producers who have a target tone in mind and need their own rig to move closer to it. Load a reference recording, load your source recording, and generate an impulse response that reshapes your cabinet tone toward the target.Use it when Your amp tone is close, but the cabinet EQ does not match the reference. You want to turn a tone-match result into a portable WAV cabinet IR. You need a faster way to build mix-specific IRs for guitars or bass. You want an IR that works in your DAW, amp sim, modeler or IR loader. Workflow Load target: choose the guitar tone or production reference you want to approach. Load source: use your own DI/amp/cab capture or current tone. Generate IR: create a cabinet impulse response that pushes the source toward the reference. Export WAV: use the result in compatible amp sims, convolution loaders and modelers. Pro-grade IR engine — new in v1.5 Three phase modes: Minimum (zero-latency, the industry standard for cabinet IRs), Linear, and Mixed — built with the proper Kolmogorov cepstral and phase-interpolation methods. EQ Smoothing: Gaussian-weighted fractional-octave smoothing, from surgical precision to natural, musical correction. Regularization: tame the inverse filter to avoid harsh boosts where the source is quiet — for smoother, more usable IRs. Match score: instantly see how closely your corrected tone reproduces the reference. Flexible export: 44.1 / 48 / 96 kHz, 16-bit / 24-bit / 32-bit float, IR lengths from 512 to 8192 samples. Redesigned interface with live 3D spectrum, waveform region selection and instant A/B preview. Signed & notarized for macOS — installs cleanly with no security warnings. Best for Guitarists chasing a specific mix tone. Producers building custom cabinet IRs for songs. Reamping workflows where the amp is right but the cabinet shape is wrong. Anyone who wants tone matching without locking the result inside one plugin session. Use IR MatchMaker when the reference tone is clear, but your current cabinet sound is not there yet.
