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 

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.

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.

The microphones used during the capture sessions for this IR library are:

• AKG C12
• AKG C414
• AKG C414 XLS
• Audio Technica AT4033
• Beyerdynamic M160
• Coles 4038
• Electro Voice RE16
• Groove Tubes MD1
• Neumann KM84
• Neumann U47
• Neumann U87
• RODE NT1
• Royer R121
• Sennheiser E609
• Sennheiser MD421
• Shure B52
• Shure SM57
• Shure SM58
• Shure SM81

Every microphone has been moved to 4 different horizontal positions (Cap, Cap Edge, Cone, and Cone Edge), two distances, and two angles, for a total of 16 IRs each. All the measurements have been repeated for each cabinet in the library, and all IRs have been phase aligned, so they can be blended without phase cancellations.
