IMPULSE is TC Electronic's first IR Loader. As always, they aim to give you guitar tools that support your playing rather than a degree in tech manuals. In short, it's a Cab Sim and IR Loader, and just like they made tuning a breeze with POLYTUNE and looping simple with DITTO LOOPER, IMPULSE IR LOADER will make the complexity of working with impulse response files disappear. Simply drag and drop your IRs over USB or use the dedicated IR organizer for PC and Mac, then IMPULSE IR LOADER will take care of the rest and make you sound like the best.

Talk about optimized storage space! IMPULSE IR LOADER holds up to 99 Cab sims as IR emulations that you can load and use near-instantaneously. Riff, funk or rock out any way that gets your chops flying. Youll get 25 IRs right out of the box, leaving you with an additional 74 slots for your creative needs. Read on to find out what kind of guitar goodies pre-stored for you!

Q & A


Question: I'm curious why the manufacturer does not include the 9 volt power adapter required to use this device? It seems odd that you pay lots of money for a device and then when it arrives, you have to source out and purchase a power adapter in order to use it.
- asked on May 16, 2025
Answer: Most likely to keep the overall cost of the unit and the shipping size of the product down as much as possible.

I heard amazing things about this pedal and really, it was the only pedal available to do what I need, small form factor impulse response loader with up to 200 Ms length. I was planning to use this as a tone match tool for a woodwind but here comes the disappointment. I bought a new pedal which was dead on arrival, I had a computer icon visible on the screen which indicates a software issue but there is no firmware available online to reload the unit. When looking for a customer service number none was found, the company pretty much does not exist with no direct email, no phone number, and no address for questions. Everything is handled online by music tribe. I filled out the form and never heard back from them, no way to confirm my question was received or viewed and consequent attempts resulted in the same thing, a dead end. I am glad many people have had good experiences with the pedal, and it really is the only product that can do what I need for under $700-$1,000 but if you need any reliability or product support, even for a simple question I would not trust this pedal. I need reliable equipment that does not fail on stage and customer services that can help before the next time I play on stage. I can't trust a company that hides behind a large customer service support center that is fully online and completely untraceable, if I did not hear of the previous reputation I would assume I'm being scammed. For a dead on arrival pedal and a company that hides behind music tribe for it's customer service I give 1 star.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
