Description

The Jensen Vintage Ceramic C10R IR Library for TH-U SuperCabinet from Overloud is a SuperCabinet IR library that captures the bright tone of the Jensen C10R speaker, which has been featured in the Blackface Princeton, Princeton Reverb, Silvertone, Ampeg, and Epiphone amps, along with countless others. This library features 1×10 and 2×10 open-back enclosures for complex tone and enough versatility for any recording session.

Eighteen mics were used to record IRs in 16 positions each, providing a great range of available sounds. You also get remastered versions with better top-end response, which effectively double the number of available IRs. The C10R voice features sparkling tone while still delivering plenty of warmth. 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 Vintage Ceramic C10R IR Library is an ideal choice for those seeking flexible, shimmering guitar tone in an affordable package.

Made for the SuperCabinet
The Jensen Ceramic C10R library is designed exclusively for use with TH-U SuperCabinet, which can either be used as a standalone IR library or with the TH-U plug-in. 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 
Bright, Colorful Vintage Tone
Developed in the early ’60s as the ceramic version of the P10R, the C10R is revered for having been the speaker of the Blackface Princeton, the Princeton Reverb, and then also Magnatone, Supro, Silvertone, Valco, Ampeg, Epiphone, and countless others. The combination of the warm-sounding circuits of that era and the bright colorful tone of the C10R delivers magical tones in any recording session. You can’t go wrong with the 1×10 and 2×10 open-back enclosures for a complex sparkling tone, recorded by the 18 Overloud microphones, in any one of the 16 placements you want.
Remastered IRs
This library also includes the remastered version of all the IRs. The vintage Jensen speakers were designed mainly for clean tones. The maximum overdrive achievable back in those days was generated by the amplifier’s natural saturation/distortion and compression, and maybe by some of the earlier fuzz pedals. Those speakers were voiced for a sparkly, shimmering treble response with a remarkable amount of energy over 6 kHz coupled with warm-sounding circuits and thin resonant cabinets of the era. The IRs of the Vintage Jensen Speakers behave exactly as expected—bright, clear, and detailed. In the modern world, especially with high gain tones naturally rich of harmonic overtones, all this energy in the treble range may sometimes turn into an overly bright, aggressive tone.

To further expand the possible applications of these historical speakers, Overloud decided to offer all the Vintage Jensen IRs in an additional remastered option, where they finely tuned the top-end response to be warmer and less prominent, so to make it suitable in more contemporary, higher gain applications. A sort of virtual aged tone that offers a whole new range of sounds for every application. All the IRs in the library are effectively doubled by the Remastered version, opening up new possibilities to the player beyond the original hardware.
