This XR IR pack is based on our vintage ╩╝62 Blonde Bassman closed back 2x12 loaded with modern G12M 65 Creamback speakers. The two 65 Creambacks in a 1962 closed-back 2x12 Blonde Bassman cab deliver a warm, punchy, and vintage-voiced tone with a modern low-end foundation. Expect rich, woody mids, tight bass, and smooth highs with a focused, articulate projection. The closed-back cab enhances low-end punch and projection, while the Creambacks offer classic British growl with added headroom.
This cab and speaker combo is extremely versatile, like the ╩╝62 Blonde Bassman 6G6B head, and can cover anything from vintage-inspired to high-gain tones, balancing warmth, punch, and definition without harshness.
This pack includes 9 different dynamic, condenser, tube, and ribbon microphones in 4 different positions across the speaker in single-mic and multi-mic blend configurations. Each single-mic IR includes 3 variations: Unaltered Mic, Enhanced, and Top Boost giving you raw and studio refined tonal options for the ultimate IR experience.
This IR pack is a part of our new XR IR Collection [XR = extreme realism], which is the result of countless hours of IR experimentation, development, and A/B testing. The XR Collection is our latest and most accurate line of impulse responses that we have ever created. When compared to the real mic╩╝d cab using the same amp, it is difficult to discern any difference. We are proud to say these IRs deliver the truest representation of a cab in tone, feel, breakup quality, and harmonic information when pushed. Unlike our previous tone-matched IRs, these IRs are universal and can be used on any platform that can load IRs and are not dependent on using specific amp settings to sound correct. A Tone Factor Starters folder with 10 hand-selected IRs from the pack is included to help you get started quickly.
