How do I get my own guitar IR?

In order to get your own guitar IR, there are different possibilities.

1) You can buy a Audiosprockets Tonedexter pedal or a LR Baggs Voiceprint DI.
2) You can send your guitar to Fishman and order a custom Aura image that you can load into a Fishman Aura pedal.
3) You can download Cuki IR generator Light (free and open source) and make your own acoustic IRs:

This gives you an app with a graphic user interface to record your guitar and generate the IR files. It will require you to install OCTAVE on your computer.

If you don’t want to install anything. There is also an ONLINE version but that will require you to record first your guitar with both an external microphone and the pickup

4) If for some reason you don’t suceed imaking your own IR or you are not satisfied with the result. You can contact me (Cuki79) through the www.acousticguitarforum.com and make a personal request. You should record your guitar with both an external microphone and its pickup and send us the recordings. We will send you the IR files and add them to the database. All you need is a guitar with a pickup, a 2-channel audio interface with a computer or a multi-track portable recorder (ex: Tascam DP or Zoom H4n).

Note that you will need a IR convolver (pedal, multi-FX or computer with audio interface) in order to use the IR file and play music!
