Overloud TH-U Choptones Barber SK112 V30

CHP Barber SK112 V30

Barber SK112 V30 is the Choptones SuperCabinet IR Library created by capturing a Mezzabarba* Skill 30 1x12 with Celestion* Vintage 30 speakers. The cabinet is a straight front, Birch plywood construction, open back and compact. The speaker is one of the most famous speakers in the guitar world. It is great for handling more power and overdrive, made by coupling the old Celestion 'H' magnet with a new cone and coil. It provides warm low-ends with a rich mid-range and detailed top-ends.

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.
