Description

Achieve bombastic metal tones while enjoying a realistic playing feel with the Overloud CHP VTH 4×12 P50, an impulse response (IR) library made for the TH-U SuperCabinet (available separately). Containing over 300 IRs, this library captures VHT P50-E speakers loaded in a closed-back VHT 4×12″ cabinet, recorded with 11 microphones and two preamps. Thanks to the use of a motorized mic stand, precision and consistency were maintained throughout the execution of eight to 16 positions per microphone.

Detailed Source Capture
VTH 4×12 P50 is the Choptones SuperCabinet IR library created by capturing a VHT 4×12″ cabinet loaded with VHT P50-E speakers. It is an extensive and systematic capture created with 11 microphones, eight to 16 positions per microphone, and multiple mic preamps, for more than 300 IRs globally. Captures are performed with a motorized mic stand in order to have consistent measurements across libraries.
The Cab and Speaker
An incredible ’90s cab, the birch plywood VHT cabinet has a slanted front and a closed back. The speaker, made in the USA by Eminence and rebranded as VHT or Fryette in some cases, offers big lows and a peculiar midrange, making it well suited for metal.
Works in SuperCabinet
The library is created for the TH-U SuperCabinet, which allows users to:

  • Graphically browse the IRs in the library
  • Blend IRs together
  • Craft new cabinet tones with the multiband mode
  • Use the IR in the software
  • Export the IRs in WAV format, compatible with software IR loaders and all major hardware modelers
Gear and Session Details
11 microphones were used during the capturing session:

  • AKG C414
  • Audio-Technica 2035
  • Beyerdynamic M160
  • Electro-Voice RE20
  • Neumann U 87
  • Royer R-121
  • Sennheiser MD 21
  • Sennheiser MD 421
  • Sennheiser MD 441
  • 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°). The entire measurement set was repeated twice with two different mic preamps—a Neve 1073 and a German preamp.
