Celestion Speaker IRs Go Global!


Since Celestion’s range of speaker IRs was launched in January last year, they’ve been bought and used worldwide. We’ve seen downloads from over 80 countries around the globe, and from every continent except Antarctica.

As you might expect, the majority of our buyers are based in the USA and United Kingdom. But, like our speakers, Celestion IRs have quickly become a truly international phenomenon, and we’ve been thrilled to see the huge range of players from different countries adopting and using our IRs to make great music.

One place that many of our users like to hangout is on YouTube, so here we’ve picked one video from each of the countries we’ve spotted over the past year and a half, to showcase the sheer diversity of nations actively involved in using our impulse responses.

The following is listed by country in alphabetical order:

Along with the US and UK, this adds up to no fewer than 18 different countries represented – and that’s just the people who took the time to upload a YouTube video! We know there are many more musicians and producers from many more countries who have embraced IRs into their setup, whether for private use at home, professionally in the studio for recording, or live on stage.

In forums, we’ve seen even more countries discussing our IRs, many in languages that sadly we don’t speak. But, like music itself, the quest for great guitar tone transcends both nationality and language.
