Polytone IR vs Deluxe Reverb IR – Jazz Tone Comparison (Strandberg + Plini X)

[DanJazzJourney]

Hey everyone,
I just made a quick comparison video using two jazz-friendly IR packs: the Dr Bonkers Polytone and the York Audio Deluxe Reverb Verb DLX.
I tested the tones using the same examples (Chord Melody, Grant Green lick, Bebop run) so you can hear differences clearly. Would love to know which one sounds best to your ears — A, B, C, or D?

I own a polytone and a 66 fender reverb. The plug-ins seem quite accurate. I favor the "C" sound

[DanJazzJourney]

Awesome, I prefer C too. For some reason B and D sound much warmer when playing through the PliniX directly and not through Ableton VST3 PliniX

Thanks. C it is.

Too much sustain in all types to my ears.

Thanks for posting. Guitar/amp sound great--all and all very clean playing, You might want to eliminate some of chords--especially the ones that are not easy to finger.

Thanks again,

Interesting, do you like it super clean and a bit more acoustic sounding?
