Description

The Jensen Blackbird 12-40 IR Library for TH-U Supercabinet from Overloud is a Supercabinet IR library that captures the powerful and versatile voice of the Blackbird 40, the first speaker in the Jet Series to use Jensen’s exclusive reinforced AlNiCo magnet technology for increased magnetic flux. This library features 1×12 and 2×12 open-back cabinet configurations captured with 18 microphones for an impressive 608 total impulse responses.

The 18 mics recorded IRs in 16 positions each, providing a great range of available sounds. The Blackbird voice is deft at everything from clean, nearly acoustic tones, to crunchy overdrive, all the way up to thick, modern distortion, making this library ideal for a wide range of music styles. Designed exclusively for the Supercabinet IR processor, a program which makes it easy to blend and create custom cabinet tones and export IRs in .wav format for use in external IR loaders and modelers, the Jensen Blackbird 12-40 IR Library is an ideal choice for those seeking powerful, complex guitar tone in an affordable package.

Made for the Supercabinet
The Jensen Blackbird 12-40 library is designed exclusively for use with the TH-U Supercabinet program, which can either be used as a standalone IR library or with the TH-U plug-in program. Supercabinet allows you 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 file format, compatible with software IR loaders and all the major hardware modelers 
Powerful, Versatile Vintage Tone
The Blackbird 40 is the first speaker in the Jet Series featuring the Jensen’s exclusive Reinforced AlNiCo magnet technology, developed to increase the strength of the magnetic flux. The voice of the Blackbird 40 offers a powerful, controlled bass range and all the sparkly brilliance that is typical of the classic Jensen Speakers. Equally suited to clean, quasi-acoustic tones, to crunchy overdrive ones, up to powerfully distorted lead tones, the Blackbird 40 offers a very distinct yet versatile character. It suits a wide range of applications, form the traditional, warm, jazz, country, rock and blues tones, up to the fiercer brit-style power-chords and lead lines. The capturing process has focused on the 1×12 and 2×12 Open Back cabinets, the best suited to deliver the natural complexity of the Blackbird 40 tones; each cabinet has been mic’ed up with the usual Overloud assortment of 18 microphones, each in 16 different positions.
