Overloud SuperCabinet Library: Eddi3 4x12 EV

Choptones Supercab IR Library created by capturing a EVH 5150III 4x12 with Celestion G12-EVH speakers.

Eddi3 4x12 EV is an extensive and systematic capture created with 12 microphones, 8 to 16 positions for each microphone and multiple Mic preamps, for a total of over 300 IRs. The cabinet has a straight front, closed back, seven-ply Birch/Pine plywood construction, and a solid and artistic enclosure with enormous
tone.

The EVH acronym leaves no doubt - this is a faithfully inspired early era Greenback speaker used by Eddie Van Halen to create his trademark guitar tone. A true 20 watt tone monster.

The captures were performed with a motorized mic stand in order to have consistent measurements across libraries.

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 was moved to four different horizontal positions (Cap, Cap Edge, Cone, and Cone Edge) and two distances, for a total of eight IRs each.

For some microphones, the set of eight measurements was repeated with the microphone off-axis (45 deg).

All of the measurement sets were repeated twice with two different Mic preamps: a Neve 1073 and a German preamp.


Made for SuperCabinet

This library was created for the TH-U Supercabinet that allows you to:

• Graphically browse the IRs in the library
• Blend multiple IRs and create totally custom and huge stereo guitar tones
• Compose new cabinet tones with the unique Multiband mode
• Export your crafted IRs in .wav format for use with all major hardware modelers and software IR loaders
