CHP Bogie MK1 EVM
Bogie MK1 EVM is the Choptones SuperCabinet IR Library created by capturing a Mesa* Boogie Mark I 1x12 with Mesa* Boogie Electrovoice EV12 speakers. The cabinet is a straight front, open back, Marine Grade Baltic Birch plywood construction. This cabinet is the Boogie that started it all! This features a powerful vintage speaker made by Electrovoice for Mesa Boogie. These speakers are often found in 4x12 cabinets, but can still deliver a pure tone in a 1x12 cab.
Captures for this SuperCabinet Library were performed with a motorized mic stand in order to have consistent measurements across libraries. Each library has an extensive and systematic capture created with 12 microphones, 8 to 16 positions for each microphone, and multiple Mic preamps, for more than 300 IRs globally. The microphones used during the capturing sessions of these five libraries are:
- AKG* C414
- Audio Technica* 2035
- Audix* i5
- Beyerdynamic* M160
- Electrovoice* RE20
- Neumann* U87
- Royer* 121
- Sennheiser* MD21
- Sennheiser* MD421
- Sennheiser* MD441
- Shure* SM7
- Shure* SM57
Every microphone has been moved to 4 different horizontal positions (Cap, Cap Edge, Cone, and Cone Edge) and two distances, for a total of 8 IRs each. For some microphones, the set of 8 measurements has been repeated with the microphone off-axis (45 deg). All the measurement sets have been repeated twice, with two different Mic preamps: a Neve* 1073 and a German preamp.
