January 2020, 12 : a new free guitar cabinet impulse response collection is available from overdriven.fr, based on US WGS® Veteran 30 (Warehouse Guitar Speakers®). This speaker is often considered as an alternative to the classical Celestion® Vintage 30. On the speaker presentation page, WGS mentions that the upper-mid register is softened compared to the V30. If you are looking for new sounds for practice or recording, try this new IR collection, you might be pleasingly surprised.

The guitar cab used for IR capture in this case is a German made 1*12 front-loaded and ported cab. Despite it’s small size, it delivers punch, clarity and an authoritative sound. Bass slightly drops under 100 HZ, though, as many small cabs do.

This IR collection is made of 52 files, for 6 mics : E906, M160, MD421, PRA628, SM57 and SM58. IRs are captured with the 6L6 power section of a tube amp.

The riffs and partial song covers presented here as samples are used for illustration and educational purposes (using amps and IRs). These riffs and songs remain the property of their copyright owners. 

Two samples, made with these IRs and using a TH3 Burnsphere amp simulation (riff from War is coming, 6 Feet Under https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5KXDAZNXus):
