Overloud CHP Fend Concerto 210 CTS - SuperCabinet IR Library

Fend Concerto 210 CTS is the Choptones SuperCabinet IR Library created by capturing a Fender* Concert 2x10 with Fender* CTS 10" speakers.

It is 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 in total.

The cabinet has a straight front, open back, with solid wood construction, a 2x10 early 80s amp. The speaker is a vintage 10-inch speaker with "chime" and nice upper-mid punch. It works great with Bassman* and all vintage Fender* amps. 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.
