Angel 4x12 V60

Angel 4x12 V60 is the Choptones Supercab IR Library created by capturing a Engl E412VSB 4x12 with Celestion Silver Series V60 speakers.

It is an extensive and systematic capture created with 12 microphones, 8 to 16 positions each microphone and multiple Mic preamps, for more than 300 IRs globally.

The cabinet is slanted front, closed back, solid Siberian Birch plywood construction, a standard for metal guitarists and not only. The speaker, great speaker for modern, high gain tones, with fat low end and smoother top end than other rock oriented speakers.

Captures are performed with a motorized mic stand in order to have consistent measurements across libraries.

The library is created for the TH-U SuperCabinet, which allows 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, compatible with the software IR loaders and all the major hardware modelers.

The microphones used during the capturing session are:

• AKG C414.
• Audio Technica 2035.
• Audix i5.
• Beyerdynamic M160.
• Electrovoice RE20.
• Neumann U87.
• Royer 121.
• Sennheiser MD21.
• Sennheiser MD421.
• Sennheiser MD441.
• Shure SM7.
• Shure SM57.

Every microphone has been moved to 4 different horizontal position (Cap, Cap Edge, Cone and Cone Edge) and two distances, for a total of 8 IRs each.

For some microphones, the set of 8 measurements has been repeated with the microphone off axis (45 deg).

All the measurement set has been repeated twice, with two different Mic preamps: a Neve 1073 and a German preamp.
