Colt and Jason interview David Hislop and Kenyon Reed at @Tone_Factor about the newest Impule Responses (IRs) they created for the ACS1 Amp + Cab Sim's 2.0 firmware update. They go deep in discussing what IRs are, why amp emulation is so popular, working on new custom IRs specifically for the ACS1 and more.
