Overloud Pivy 5051 4x12 SHEF - SuperCabinet IR Library

Pivy 5051 4x12 SHEF is the Choptones Supercab IR Library created by capturing a Peavey* 5150 4x12 with Peavey* Sheffield 1200 speakers.

Pivy 5051 4x12 SHEF is an extensive and systematic capture created with 12 microphones, 8 to 16 positions for each microphone and multiple Mic preamps, for a total of over 300 IRs. The cabinet has a slanted front, closed back, solid Birch plywood construction, and is the obvious match with the iconic 5150 head. Great for high gain tones! As for the speaker, the story goes that EVH gave Peavey* his favorite Greenback to model a new speaker after it. Thus, the Sheffield 1200 was released. This cab perfectly pairs with the 5150 head, and has a very powerful voice for high gain tones.

The captures were performed with a motorized mic stand in order to have consistent measurements across libraries.

The microphones used during the capturing session 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 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 of the measurement sets were repeated twice with two different Mic preamps: a Neve* 1073 and a German preamp.

MADE FOR THE SUPERCABINET
This library was created for the TH-U Supercabinet that allows you to:

• Graphically browse the IRs in the library
• Blend multiple IRs and create totally custom and huge stereo guitar tones
• Compose new cabinet tones with the unique Multiband mode
• Export your crafted IRs in .wav format for use with all major hardware modelers and software IR loaders
