Just stumbled upon this info after commenting on a Youtube video of just the song Panama;a guitar tracks and noticed the big sounding reverb from (room mics I assumed) and someone responded it was a post reverb but didn't say exactly what kind, so I went on a Google expedition to find out. This seems about right for the time and was mentioned as a possibility. I don't know if emulating it does it justice, but I looked for some impulses (and there's Waves and UAD EMT 140 emulation plugins also).



Hopkins Media Services has a collection of IRs of it, along with some others https://www.facebook.com/hopkinsmediaservices/

This is their current download spot for those https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vjf5bsi28hcrkli/AADNjt1AmES9TsEBblLrjUAaa?dl=0

Here's some custom IRs I made from one of the raw ones, one has a cabinet so if you want to try it with the EPSI, and one is just the effect (how I thought it sounded best with some Pro Channel tweaking to give it a more finished sound). These are five second IRs, btw. Shorter ones just don't do it justice.

Here's a better cabinet/plate combo. The other one was just an IR I made of the Two Notes Le Lead Preamp Pedal's speaker sim, probably wont sound too good with Eleven Rack. I added some speaker breakup to this with ReCabinet so if you just want to use it with plugins or other sims. Actually works great with the Le Lead direct into my Toneport. Kind of like having a mini Eleven Rack now almost.

I feel like an idiot for asking this, but is there a quick resource that you know of that pertains to IR's? I'm behind the times and I honestly do not know how to use them.
