Mesa/Boogie CabClone IR+ Reactive Load Attenuator & IR Cab Simulator - 8 ohm

Take command of an epic cab arsenal

The Cab Clone IR+ is packed with 16 factory-loaded IRs taken from Mesa/Boogie’s deep roster of industry-leading guitar cabinets. You have instant access to the Rectifier’s distinctive mid-range punch, the Thiele’s beefy low-end, the Lone Star’s creamy harmonics, and the California Tweed’s smooth vintage voice.

The Cab Clone IR+ features IRs of these classic cabs in two configurations: a “Live” configuration, recorded with a dynamic mic and ribbon mic combo, and a “Studio” configuration that swaps out the dynamic mic with a condenser mic for a more detailed “hi-fi” sound. A 2-bank A/B switch and 8-position “Cab Select” makes flipping between IRs a breeze.

And for even more options, the Cab Clone IR is compatible with third-party and custom IRs. Just load them into the unit’s “Cabinet Library” space via USB to build an epic cab arsenal out of your own cabs and your dream cabs! And you can take them all on stage with you without having to lug a host of heavy cabinets to the venue.

Exceptional performance, live and in the studio

Guitarists at Sweetwater know there’s nothing more satisfying than the sound of a wide-open amp, but, in a small venue, that kind of volume can make your audience’s ears bleed and send them running towards the door. With the Cab Clone IR+, you can have that tremendous dimed tone, but at an audience-friendly volume. Just patch it into the venue’s console and let the sound guy match the level to the room. Still want to use your live cab for stage monitoring? No problem. Send an unprocessed signal to your amp in parallel from the live speaker cabinet output jack and get the best of both worlds.

Cab Clone IR+ is also an excellent solution for home recordists struggling to capture their amp’s tone in a less than ideal recording environment. The Cab Clone IR+ gives you the big studio sound you’re looking for without the need for extensive acoustical treatment and hours spent finding the perfect mic positions.
