TAF Supercab IR Library created by capturing a VOXAC30* 65/66 with Celestion Blue-PreRola speakers.

TAF BLUE - SUPERCAB IR LIBRARY

TAF Blue is the Supercab IR Library created by Andy from TheAmpFactory in his Orangetreestudios HQ, capturing a VOXAC30* 65/66 with Celestion Blue-PreRola speakers.

"This speaker is and was the main reason why I went into producing my own IRs. "Blue" speakers have their own sound, but this one, in particular, has its VERY own character, not like any other, - it's softer, more gentle, unless you poke it and it becomes unfriendly but in an adorable way.. - if someone asked me what is the pinnacle of guitar tones, Id always refer to this, its what always comes to mind when thinking any guitar-based sound, it will never age, it will never die. and best of all, it is now eternally captured."
- Andy (TheAmpFactory).

This Amp & its speaker was in Abbey road, and the special thing is that this was one of the amps used for many of the Beatles' recordings... To this day, the amp still lives on, still in its original format, with no problems thus far... - just don't ask me to turn the thing on.

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