CHP BRIT 1960 LGB - SUPERCAB IR LIBRARY

Brit 1960 LGB is the Choptones Supercab IR Library created by capturing a Marshall* 1960 A 4x12 with Eminence Legend* GB128 50W speakers.

It is an extensive and systematic capture created with 11 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 Birch plywood construction, maybe the most common and used 4x12 out there, perfect tone for modern rock. The speaker, 50 Watt speaker made by Eminence, cleaner British voiced tone with a full low end, warm, throaty mids and a very open top end.
Captures are performed with a motorized mic stand in order to have consistent measurements across libraries.

SPECIFICATIONS

The microphones used during the capturing session are:

• AKG* C414.
• Audio Technica* 2035.
• 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.
