Each shot was taken on various points of the speaker in a pseudo DynaCab™ fashion and how I go about micing cabs in the studio. I fine tune the low end to my taste with the distance from the speaker, then File Numbers 01, 02, 03...etc. are the microphones speaker position from the cone to edge for high end brightest to darkest.
In the Fractal™ units, there is the option in the Amp Block > Speaker Page to select a Speaker Impedance Curve. I find the “2x12 Band Commander SRO” Impedance Curve to be my favorite with this pack, but experiment to see what sounds best to you and the Amp Model you are using. The cab is massive for a 2x12! 29.5”x 40”x 11.5”
The “Phantom” captures for each mic are placed backed off from the cab where the 2 speakers sum together.

Which files to use:
All captures are 24bit 500ms MPT (Minimum Phase Transformed) format that is phase aligned with most modelers’ user cabinets. This Cab Pack is compatible with all modelers and IR loaders that support .wav format IR’s. Hardware units that require shorter files will automatically truncate 500ms files to the unit’s preferred length upon import.
Please refer to your hardware unit’s manual to determine which sample rate is right for and how to load them into your particular system.
