CHP Brit Tall 4x12 BB
Brit Tall 4x12 BB is the Choptones SuperCabinet IR Library created by capturing a Marshall* 1982B LTD JH 4x12 with Rola Celestion* G12H30 Black Back speakers. The cabinet is a straight front, closed back, and solid plywood construction. Only 200 of these cabinets were ever made and were referred to as “The Jimi Cabinet.” The speaker is a very rare version of the famous H30 made in the seventies. Very warm sounding but still with great definition.
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.
