Angel 2×12 V30 is the Choptones Supercab IR Library created by capturing an Engl E212VHB 2×12 with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers.

This cabinet has a straight front, closed-back, and solid Siberian Birch plywood construction. Despite its small dimensions, it provides a huge amount of low-end. The speakers, maybe the most famous speakers in the guitar world, are great for handling power and overdrive. By coupling the old Celestion ‘H’ magnet with a new cone and coil, it provides a warm low-end with a rich mid-range and a detailed top-end.

The captures were performed with a motorized mic stand in order to have consistent measurements across libraries.

The microphones used during the capturing session are:

• AKG C414
• Audio Technica 2035
• Audix i5
• Beyerdynamic M160
• Electrovoice RE20
• Neumann U87
• Royer 121
• Sennheiser MD21
• Sennheiser MD421
• Sennheiser MD441
• Shure SM7
• Shure SM57

Every microphone was moved to four different horizontal positions (Cap, Cap Edge, Cone, and Cone Edge) and two distances, for a total of eight IRs each.

For some microphones, the set of eight measurements was repeated with the microphone off-axis (45 deg).

All of the measurement sets were repeated twice with two different Mic preamps: a Neve 1073 and a German preamp.

Made for the SuperCabinet

This library was created for the TH-U Supercabinet that allows you to:

• Graphically browse the IRs in the library
• Blend multiple IRs and create totally custom and huge stereo guitar tones
• Compose new cabinet tones with the unique Multiband mode
• Export your crafted IRs in .wav format for use with all major hardware modelers and software IR loaders
