TAF GH12Alnico

TAF GH12Alnico is the Supercab IR Library created by Andy from TheAmpFactory in his Orangetreestudios HQ, capturing a Marshall 4x12 1968 with Celestion GH12-pre Rola speakers.

Another famous cab, this was handpicked by the main man Hendrix himself. he auditioned several cabs from this manufacturer, but none were good enough until this turned up, it had a different chassis, and new speakers (for the time) - Alnico GH12, very rare for its year - it's a 4x12 cabinet, that has its unique looks and sound. - We were worried about capturing this, as the detail the speakers give would not translate, but we were wrong, it does & it did. incredible lower-mid punch makes this a "Riff" machine workhorse.

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.
