Cab and Mics

The cab used is a Zilla® Fatboy (2*12) rear-loaded with two Hesu® Demon, 8 ohms, wired in parallel. This collection contains captures of one of the two speakers (the “left” one ). The “left” speaker (-L in the filenames) has both more bass and more bite and provides a more scooped tone. The tone, while very close to the KT88 collection is different with the CLASS-D : these captures are more neutral, with more body in the 200 – 500 Hz area, a tad less at 100 Hz, but with more bass extension below 100 Hz (use a low-cut to avoid mud and regain clarity). The tone is more boxy compared to the KT88 but is probably easier to pair with different amps : you will probably have to lower your mids a little bit…. or not 🙂 . The Demon is made for rock and metal and these captures will work nicely with downtuned guitars.

The Zilla® Fatboy 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.

The following picture represents the EQ differences between the same mic/position with the CLASS D IRs and the KT88 ones : more presence in the low mids for the class D, resulting in a less scooped tone.

These two screenshots illustrates also the differences (Thrasher 50 – Torpedo Reload – Nadir) :
