Overloud SuperCabinet Library: CHP ADD 2x12 G12S50

Choptones Supercab IR Library created by capturing a Ada 2x12 with Celestion G12S-50 speakers.

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.

In the 80s and 90s, it was really easy to find a couple of this amazing cabs on several stages. Really nice and balanced tone, a must for old guitar tone lovers.

The speaker, perfect match for the '80s Ada 2x12 cabinets, it's a 50 watt Celestion speaker with a boost on the high-mids.

Captures are performed with a motorized mic stand in order to have consistent measurements across libraries.

Made for Supercabinet

The library is created for the TH-U SuperCabinet, which allows you 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

Microphones

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.
