HESS 2X12 DemoN - SUPERCAB IR LIBRARY

Hess 2x12 Demon is the Choptones Supercab IR Library created by capturing a Hesu* Modern M212 2x12 with Hesu* Demon 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 a straight front, closed-back, solid Baltic Birch construction, great for Metal due to its scooped mids and bright top-end. The speaker, a modern speaker with an extended range of frequencies great for the last decade metal with a definition hard to find in other speakers. Ideal for down-tuned guitars.
Captures are performed with a motorized mic stand in order to have consistent measurements across libraries.

DISCOVER THE ENTIRE COLLECTION

The SuperCabinet offers a wide collection of IR libraries, created by selected sound designers like Choptones and The Cab Factory.
Any single library in the collection is created after extensive sampling and editing work, seeking perfection in every capturing step.

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.

SPECIFICATIONS

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 positions (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.
