Description

Get the punchy sound of a small, half-open cab while enjoying a realistic playing feel with the Overloud CHP Win 1×12 V30E, an impulse response (IR) library made for the TH-U SuperCabinet (available separately). Containing over 300 IRs, this library captures a Celestion Vintage 30 UK speaker loaded in a half-open-back Victory 1×12″ 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
Win 1×12 V30E is the Choptones SuperCabinet IR library created by capturing a Victory 1×12″ cabinet loaded with a Celestion Vintage 30 UK speaker. 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
A small yet great-sounding 1×12″ cab, the Victory cabinet is made from solid pine and birch plywood, and it features a straight front and a half-open back. The UK-made Celestion Vintage 30 speaker offers treble that is less harsh than that of the Chinese speaker, plus it adds some nice, punchy low mids.
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

11 microphones were used during the capturing session.

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.
