Cab and Mics
The cab used is a Zilla® Fatboy (2*12) rear-loaded with two “Green back” speakers (made in UK), 16 ohms, wired in parallel. This collection contains mainly the captures of one of the speakers (the “right” one) but some IRs of the second one are also provided with some of the microphones (Dyn-57). The Greenback has been declined by Celestion in multiple versions since its inception in the 60’s and the 70’s : the Greenback is that classic rock electric guitar tone with a lot of punch and very present mids. It will suit rock, blues and hard-rock players for sure, but metal guitar players and other genres should probably try them : less scooped, less open and less aggressive than more modern speakers (ie V30s), it can provide great tone, with a lot of articulation.
The cab used is a Zilla® Fatboy : it is a very good and balanced 2*12 custom cab, made to order by Zilla Cabs : check ZillaCabs website at https://www.zillacabs.com. The Fatboy is a 212 similar in size and volume to a Mesa Recto 212 or an Hesu 212.
These IRs are using ‘Gen3’ recording settings : the amp settings are updated for a darker tone and excepted for ribbon mics and unless expressly stated in the filename, HPF is disengaged at capture time to preserve the original low-end of the speaker and cab.

Absolutely amazing IRs. I’ve been using third-party IRs and even making my own, but am always looking for some new sounds to play with. Your Greenback mixed with the V30 in the Fatboy 212 cab is such an excellent pairing.
Thanks for these! They are sounding great with my Verellen Meatsmoke, VHT Pittbull, and Victory Kraken, and pairs so well in a stereo setup with my own 412 IRs.

Thank you Clay for your comment : very happy with your feedback ! The Fatboy Greenbacks with class D amp are going to be released soon, give them a try when they will be available.

Absolutely love these ir’s
I’ve only had the headrush for a week and it’s the first time I’ve ever used ir’s.
I’ve tried quite a lot over this last week and these are the ones I’ll definitely be using.
10/10 and thank you

Hello Lewis ! Thanks for the nice feedback and have fun with the headrush !

Which mic is the DYN-US-6 ?
– is it an Audix D6…?
Thanx
🙂
2021-10-23 at 20:09
Hi Jeezes !
No, it is not an Audix D6. It is one of the kept secret mics 🙂 (https://overdriven.fr/overdriven/index.php/2020/07/30/home-studio-upgrade-and-2nd-gen-irs/) and it has become one of my favorites.
