Guitarists looking to expand their cabinet IRs for the TH-U SuperCabinet modeling software will be impressed with Overloud Choptones Vocs 2x12 AlnBlue, an IR library that extensively captures the full-sounding guitar tone of a Vox BNX 2x12 with Celestion Alnico Blue speakers in a straight-front open-back solid birch-plywood cabinet.
This library features IRs systematically captured with 12 mics on a motorized mic stand for over 300 total impulse responses. The mics recorded IRs in 8 to 16 positions each, with some of the mics receiving an extra off-axis capture at 45°. The Vocs 2x12 AlnBlue provides warmth and mellow mids for its signature sound, a great choice for blues and clean tones.

Every microphone has been moved to 4 different horizontal positions (Cap, Cap Edge, Cone, and Cone Edge), two distances each, for a total of 8 IRs each. For some of the microphones, the measurements have been repeated with the microphone at an off axis (45°). All the measurements have been repeated twice, with two different mic preamps: a Neve 1073 and a German preamp.
