CAB and mics

The guitar cabinet on which this collection is based on is a Marshall™ 1936 Vintage cabinet (2*12), loaded with 2x Marshall™ G12 Vintage speakers (16 ohms). According to Marshall forums users, this speaker seems to be the early -or initial- V30 spec (so, there would be at least 3 flavors of V30’s available as of today : the official V30 from Celestion -made in China-, the UK one made to Mesa Boogie specs and this G12 Vintage -which I believe is also made in UK- made to Marshall specs). Interestingly, when performing my first recording tests and captures, I found out that the top end of the two speakers were producing slightly different variations of the base tone : the left speaker is less aggressive in the treble, producing a nice and more vintage tone, the right speaker having more a modern spike and presence, resulting in a more aggressive tone….. I ended-up finding that both are interesting, so there will be two variations of this collection : the Left one (this collection) and the Right one, named respectively M212-L and M212-R in the main IR download page.

Samples

The samples below are created in Logic ProX, re-amping Lasse Lammert Mago DI tracks with a custom AIDA-X model based on a VH4 amp (channel 2/crunch) and a Maxon OD-9 overdrive. Amp models are loaded in Genome CODEX. IRs are loaded in Nadir, no EQ but low-cut and high-cut are used.

IR loaded in Nadir :

The tone is refined with a Genome RaunchMaker overdrive pedal placed before the 2 Codex instances. FabFilter L2 is used to boost the mix.

The precise AIDA-X model used is the following : ODN-GAS4-AP-2C-CH2 OD-9-HVY.aidax (this model is not publicly available yet).
