Pi Multi-FX Pedal — Default Cabinet IR Files

Synthetic impulse responses (.wav) for guitar cabinet simulation. Generated using DSP filter cascades (Butterworth LP/HP + parametric peak/notch filters + exponential decay envelope).

All IRs are 48kHz, 16-bit mono WAV files.

Usage

These IRs are loaded by the IRLoader class through the pedal's cab simulation. Place them in ~/.pedal/irs/ or reference them by absolute path in preset chain blocks.

Replacement

Replace any .wav file with a real captured IR (48kHz, 16-bit mono) to upgrade from synthetic to authentic cabinet tone. The pedal treats all .wav files in the IR directory identically.
