THE SPEAKER:

Tone Guide: The smoothest of our V30s, upfront midrange.

Based on a UK built Celestion Vintage 30®, our V30(UK) is one of a trio of IRs recreating the sound of the quintessential high gain guitar speaker. There is a reason these are the most popular high gain guitar speaker in the world. They are bright, tight, cutting, and in-your-face. You absolutely cannot go wrong with any of our V30's. This one is the Smoothest of our captures. It's worth noting this is the stock speaker for this cabinet

THE CABINET:

These are impulse responses captured using a MESA Engineering Rectifier ® 4x12 Traditional Cabinet. This is widely regarded as a must-have studio cabinet for its ultra tight bottom end and cutting, yet smooth upper midrange. This is the cabinet most often used in modern metal by the genre’s top producers.

THE MICROPHONES:

• Shure SM57 (x2  on/off-axis, and Fredman technique) 
• Royer R121
• Beyerdynamic M160
• AKG C414 XLS
• Sennheiser MD421
• Sennheiser e906
• Audio Technica AE2500 Dual-Capsule Microphone
• Rode NTR

Each microphone is captured in 6 positions across the cone in addition to multiple sweet spots, curated by listening, moving microphones, capturing, re-capturing, and re-re-capturing, until perfect.

THE MASSIVE DIFFERENCE:

No time or expense is spared in creating MASSIVE impulse responses. The best in modern and vintage microphones feed the finest cabling into boutique analog preamps selected on a per-speaker basis. The signal is then converted using our world-class A/D into the digital realm at 32 bit floating point, 96k, where it remains throughout processing until conversion into the multiple formats included in the collection
