Overloud CHP Brit 1960 LGB - SuperCabinet IR Library

Brit 1960 LGB from Choptones is a SuperCabinet IR Library created by capturing a Marshall* 1960 A 4x12 with Eminence Legend* GB128 50W speakers. The CHP Brit 1960 LGB is an extensive and systematic capture created with 11 microphones, 8 to 16 positions for each microphone and multiple Mic preamps, for more than 300 IRs in total.

The cabinet has a slanted front and closed back with solid Birch plywood construction, maybe the most commonly used 4x12 out there, and has a perfect tone for modern rock. The speaker, a 50 Watt speaker made by Eminence, has a cleaner British voiced tone with a full low end, warm, throaty mids, and a very open top end. Captures were performed with a motorized mic stand in order to have consistent measurements across libraries.

MADE FOR THE SUPERCABINET

This library is created for the TH-U SuperCabinet, which allows users to:

• Graphically browse the IRs in the library
• Blend them together
• Craft new cabinet tones with the unique Multiband mode
• Use the IR in the software
• Export the IRs in .wav, compatible with the software IR loaders and all the major hardware modelers

The microphones used during the capturing session are:

• AKG* C414
• Audio Technica* 2035
• Beyerdynamic* M160
• Electrovoice* RE20
• Neumann* U87
• Royer* 121
• Sennheiser* MD21
• Sennheiser* MD421
• Sennheiser* MD441
• Shure* SM7
• Shure* SM57

Every microphone was moved to four different horizontal positions (Cap, Cap Edge, Cone and Cone Edge) and two distances, for a total of eight IRs each.

For some microphones, the set of eight measurements was repeated with the microphone off axis (45 deg). All the measurement sets were repeated twice, with two different Mic preamps: a Neve* 1073 and a German preamp.
