Choptones Supercab IR Library created by capturing a Marshall* 1960 A 4x12 with Rola Celestion* G12-80.

Brit 1960 4x12 G1280 is the Choptones Supercab IR Library created by capturing a Marshall* 1960 A 4x12 with Rola Celestion* G12-80.

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, only made for two years, this iconic 80s speaker provides lot of volume with fatter low end and mid range than other Celestion speakers of that era.
Captures are performed with a motorized mic stand in order to have consistent measurements across libraries.

MADE FOR THE SUPERCABINET

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.
• 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.
