What’s new in version 3

More than a cabinet.
A complete way to create.

A rebuilt workflow brings your amp and cabinet together. Keep a sound you like, push a new direction, and save the result in the format your rig needs.

AMPLIFIER

Play through your profiles

NAM before the cabinet, with TONE3000 discovery built in.

EXPLORATION

Keep the good ideas

Generate a batch, lock your choices and reshape the sound live.

CHARACTER

Weave your own response

Combine low, body and edge, then sculpt resonance and space.

EXPORT

Build a cabinet collection

Save one mix, selected layers or a set of sample-length variants.

Amplifier · NAM + TONE3000

The amp is
only the beginning.

Put a NAM amp profile before the cabinet and hear every design decision through it. Open TONE3000 to discover profiles immediately, browse the available models and load your choice without leaving the plugin.

  • Load local .nam files or browse your TONE3000 account.
  • A2 and A1 support, with Full/Lite for compatible A2 profiles.
  • Profile title, creator and available artwork stay in view.
  • Input calibration, gate and level compensation keep the workflow practical.

Tone Layers · Explore

Find a direction.
Keep what works.

Generate ten cabinet choices, audition them and lock the ones that belong in your sound. A new batch refreshes the unlocked slots. Move across Explore to shift from dark to bright and from lean to full while you play.

  • Individual levels start at 0 dB; double-click to reset.
  • Mute, solo and clear controls make comparisons quick.
  • Align onsets, balance levels, then refine each layer’s filtering, pan and timing.
  • Repeatable seeds, A/B and undo make exploration easy to retrace.

Spectral Weave · Resonance Sculpt

Three sources.
One character.

Borrow the foundation from one layer, the body from another and the edge from a third. Then shift the resonances, smooth or emphasise their detail, and add the space of early reflections.

LOWWeight & foundation
BODYVoice & resonance
EDGEBite & openness

Reference Contour offers a further direction from comparable source and reference recordings, with a controlled amount of correction.

Hear it

One amp profile.
Cabinets you design.

Real guitar takes played through IIIR-Alchemist: an amp profile first, then a cabinet built in the plugin. Nothing added afterwards. Every demo plays at the same loudness and rings out in full.

  • CabinetsDense core cabinet

    A rhythm riff into a ringing final chord through the Dense core recipe: a full, tight low end and a smooth top.

  • CabinetsSilver edge cabinet

    The same performance through Silver edge: more open and cutting.

  • CabinetsForward voice cabinet

    The same performance through Forward voice: leaner lows, the mids up front.

Cabinet IR export

One great cabinet.
Or a whole new collection.

Export exactly the cabinet choices you want to keep. Combine your layers into a single response, save a selection individually, or make a complete collection in one pass.

The finished mix

Save the current cabinet blend or combine only the soloed layers into one WAV. Your shaping and cabinet response travel together.

Your chosen layers

Export all ten, the audible layers or the soloed selection. Save the finished mix alongside its audible individual alternatives.

A length for every rig

Create multi-length packs, or use the format guide for Helix/HX, Helix Stadium, Quad Cortex and Ampero II. See the length in samples before you export.

Length packs512 · 1024 · 2048 · 4096 · 8192 samplesMono / stereo16 / 24-bit PCM · 32-bit float

IR export captures the cabinet, not NAM distortion or the gate. Shorter responses use a tapered tail; longer files are padded with silence. Hardware format presets follow the manufacturers’ manuals; check your device’s current import requirements.

Before you play

A few useful answers.

What is IIIR-Alchemist?

IIIR-Alchemist is version 3 of the Alchemist cabinet-design family. It combines a NAM amp-profile loader with a ten-layer cabinet designer. Build a batch, keep the layers you like, reshape the response and export your cabinet as a WAV impulse response.

Which older versions qualify for the upgrade?

Owners of IR-Alchemist, IR-Alchemist Pro, IR-Alchemist X or IIR-Alchemist X2 receive 30% off IIIR-Alchemist. Sign in with the email used for your original purchase. The eligible price is applied automatically at checkout; no code is needed.

Does the All Plugins Bundle include version 3?

Yes. IIIR-Alchemist replaces IIR-Alchemist X2 in the All Plugins Bundle. Existing bundle owners receive the current version in their downloads at no extra cost. This does not promise future unrelated plugins.

Is it included with Lifetime Access?

Lifetime Access alone does not include plugins. A separately purchased Plugins & Apps Upgrade, or an eligible active All-Access Pass, provides access under its existing membership terms.

Which amp profiles can I load?

Load supported .nam profiles, including A2 and A1 models, before the cabinet. A2 Full/Lite quality is available for models that support both sizes. Browse TONE3000 inside the plugin, or load a local file. Third-party profile licences and availability are set by their creators.

Do I need an internet connection?

Cabinet design and already downloaded local profiles work offline. TONE3000 sign-in, browsing and new downloads need an internet connection and your TONE3000 account. Amp profiles shown in screenshots are examples and are not bundled with the installer.

What can I export?

Export the current cabinet mix, a soloed mix, all ten individual layers, audible layers, soloed layers, or a mix plus its audible layers. Optional length packs create 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 and 8192-sample versions. Choose mono or stereo WAV and 16-bit, 24-bit or 32-bit float. Individually normalized layers are standalone cabinet choices, not additive mix stems.

Will the exported IR include the amp distortion?

No. Export captures the cabinet response. NAM amp distortion, the gate, Cab Mix and input/output gain are not baked into a static cabinet IR. Use the exported IR after an amp or amp profile.

Which hardware units can use the exported IRs?

The export guide includes presets based on official manuals for Helix/HX, Helix Stadium, Quad Cortex, Ampero II and Ampero II Stomp. It sets the corresponding sample rate, sample count and format. Other units can use a compatible WAV export; check your device manual. Hardware-specific imports have not been physically tested.

Does it work on Intel Macs and with Windows ASIO?

Yes. The macOS installer includes native Intel and Apple Silicon versions of the VST3, AU and standalone app, for macOS 11 or newer. Windows 10/11 64-bit includes VST3 and a standalone app with ASIO support.

Will it replace my older Alchemist sessions?

No. IIIR-Alchemist uses a separate plugin identity and installs alongside older versions. Existing sessions continue to use their original plugin. It is a one-time purchase with no activation required.
