Celestion Unveils Mesa/Boogie Impulse Response Collection at NAMM 2026
Celestion, a renowned audio equipment brand, is set to revolutionize the music industry with its latest innovation at the NAMM 2026 exhibition. Booth 6602 will be the hub for the unveiling of the Mesa/Boogie Impulse Response (IR) Collection, an expansion of their acclaimed Backline Heroes series.
This cutting-edge collection offers a digital library of Mesa/Boogie's iconic speaker cabinets, capturing the essence of their legendary tones. The Mesa/Boogie IR collection is a treasure trove for guitarists seeking the ultimate in heavy, bass-rich sounds. It encompasses the timeless charm of the Lone Star cabs, the thunderous low-end of the Rectifier cabinets, and the explosive punch of the Widebody.
Celestion's meticulous approach involves utilizing 14 distinct Mesa/Boogie cabinet types, each equipped with carefully selected Celestion speakers. This results in a staggering 43 speakers, both factory standard and modified, ensuring an unparalleled range of tonal possibilities. The complete collection boasts an impressive 108 distinct speaker/cabinet combinations, catering to every guitarist's unique taste.
The IR collection is presented in various formats for user convenience. Individual impulse responses are available for purchase, along with the comprehensive Everything Pack. Additionally, four multi-IR collections are offered, providing a diverse range of tones. Celestion's commitment to detail is evident in their recording process, employing studio-grade microphones like the Royer R-121 ribbon, Shure SM57, and Sennheiser MD421 to capture 18 distinct tones for each cabinet and speaker combination.
This attention to detail ensures that guitarists can achieve their desired sound with precision. Whether paired with a DAW, IR loader plugin, modeling amp hardware, or load box, the Mesa/Boogie Impulse Response Collection promises an authentic tone, dynamic response, and zero latency.
For music enthusiasts and professionals alike, this development is a game-changer, offering an unprecedented level of tonal versatility and control.
