Dude ... I love your videos. I am just happy this one is about my stuff. Honored 😎 -I tuned these to be used with II II II II on default setting and cabs bypassed. They work with anything to be "true in the room" feel, but if you want the experience I sought, this is the way. -These are going to need eq for a mix, just a like a cab would. Unless you like the grit as much I do ;) -You are correct, these are passion projects for me, in truth for my own use. Glad to share and enjoy with those who have the same ears and tastes 👏 -Black pack is a good sampler of sorts to get you a taste of the variety, but does not give you the control over mic position like others. They are one shots that I found to be unique and tasty
Yea these are wild sounding as hell. There’s definitely some eq in there, I seriously doubt that’s all from whatever power amp he used. Especially considering he states he used a neve style pre “into a neve style channel strip”; which to me, means eq. The low mids are nice cut, and the low end is hyper resonant. These are all moves I would personally make in the real world, and it’s already “baked in” here. Whatever it is, I totally agree, never heard low end like this, and it’s not out of control at all, and the clarity of these is still unmatched. Huge fan.
man great that your making videos. Your hands down the best guy for our hobby on the internet. keep up the good work. You really have a talent for this
This channel is one of the few that goes down to to the nitty gritty of tones and hardware. Learnt a lot more about IRs and how Otto IRs are the best out there for heavy thicc tones.. Especially the part about IR packs that are just mic placement which has a difference that can be achieved with a small EQ change.
Nice, the War Yall was a nice touch. That was sort of a thing in metalcore at least in the south in the early 2000s. I remember bands like Maylene And The Sons of Disaster doing that to their cabs
@@OTTOAUDIO Hell yeah! I’ve been wanting to replace the cloth on my harley benton cab and put War Yall on it. I think this might finally make me do it haha
Welcome back, fella! I have a few of these packs, interesting, moreso given that he's used some preamp for extra favour. Doesn't quite gel with my real amp, though that's probably down to user error.
Another killer vid man. Ever since the Dontsell cab came out, I kinda forgot about other IR's. Otto does fantastic work. I mean the Blackpack on its own is such a tone powerhouse. The War Yall cab is some of the best Marshall tone ever. At least IMO. Hours of fun with the 1111 and other sims. Cheers :) ps: Crowbar at 2:36 hell yes
Got to say that my old skool faves from Otto are the R121 captures. The ones in the newest VI IT pack are stunning to my ears. They certainly added some extra top and low end to that 8 string intro and reminded me of how cool mid-era Amon Amarth used to sound! 🤘🤘
@@PlagueScytheStudios Deffo the best LPs to have on headphones if you need to walk somewhere quickly. I listened them to death when I lived in Hamburg years ago and I'm ready to dive back in. 🤘🤘
@@OTTOAUDIO Sweet I'll definitely be checking the black pack out soon! I gotta say I crave filthy, warm, and or fuzzy doom and sludge tones, and no one out there has really nailed that in the vst/plug-in space in my opinion. There are dozens of us!
Might have to check these out for my "messing around at home by myself" use-case. So many IRs sound super out of place and uninspiring outside of a mix. These sound alot more "fun" than the usual mix-ready eq'd to hell stuff out on the market.
this is exactly the experience, none of these are mix ready in the traditional sense -- Although, I'd like to think that the fine tuning I did makes them pleasing to the ear, and most of all, an experience in the room.
I'm pretty much just using virtual style cabs lately as they are in essence just 1000's of impulses organized in a easier way to reference in real time for finding mic positions and mic types. I hate trying to find impulses blind and having to load them and go just of file names

Otto Cabs are amazing. They're my overall favourite. They are so fucking heavy sounding.
Nice, the War Yall was a nice touch. That was sort of a thing in metalcore at least in the south in the early 2000s. I remember bands like Maylene And The Sons of Disaster doing that to their cabs
This is the exact band I saw live that had that, credit where credit is due 😎

The VHT and Yerasov captures are just excellent!
always a great day when i see a new plague scythe upload! thank you for doing what you do brother

Thanks man!
damnnnn those sludgy doom riffs made me check this cab irs out ... just missing the jackson and the electra in that guitar riff gallore
I don't remember when was the last time I impulse bought something. But here we are, I just did. Can't wait to make a demo of the black pack
You will not be disappointed :)
heck yeah! love the Otto Audio stuff, maximum brutality
JIMBO!
If you want a good sampling / taste of what they sound like in the room to play, 18:36 is it 🔊🔥
Dayum, I got to get this collection.
You are a brave man to use the cap, I always go for position 3 (or where the cap meets the cone) or blend position 1 with 3

Amon's early 2000's albums through Twilight of the Thunder God are truly magical.

0:42 uh man this is so ihsahn esque 😛😍😎
I'm glad you often include Amon Amarth riffs in these
I trust you.
i always wanted a laney supergroup goodman speaker ir
I second more vintage Matamp and Orange stuff. Was there an Emperor cab anywhere in there? Matt Pike tones man
noted😎👍. Emperor on the way, it's probably my favorite of all cabs I've played. There are early versions in the black pack
