'62 BMAN CREAMBACK 65 2x12 - XR IR PACK

This XR IR pack is based on our vintage ’62 Blonde Bassman closed back 2x12 loaded with modern G12M 65 Creamback speakers.

 

The two 65 Creambacks in a 1962 closed-back 2x12 Blonde Bassman cab deliver a warm, punchy, and vintage-voiced tone with a modern low-end foundation. Expect rich, woody mids, tight bass, and smooth highs with a focused, articulate projection. The closed-back cab enhances low-end punch and projection, while the Creambacks offer classic British growl with added headroom. This cab and speaker combo is extremely versatile, like the ’62 Blonde Bassman 6G6B head, and can cover anything from vintage-inspired to high-gain tones, balancing warmth, punch, and definition without harshness.

 

This pack includes 9 different dynamic, condenser, tube, and ribbon microphones in 4 different positions across the speaker in single-mic and multi-mic blend configurations. Each single-mic IR includes 3 variations: Unaltered Mic, Enhanced, and Top Boost giving you raw and studio refined tonal options for the ultimate IR experience.

 

This IR pack is a part of our new XR IR Collection [XR = extreme realism], which is the result of countless hours of IR experimentation, development, and A/B testing. The XR Collection is our latest and most accurate line of impulse responses that we have ever created. When compared to the real mic’d cab using the same amp, it is difficult to discern any difference. We are proud to say these IRs deliver the truest representation of a cab in tone, feel, breakup quality, and harmonic information when pushed. Unlike our previous tone-matched IRs, these IRs are universal and can be used on any platform that can load IRs and are not dependent on using specific amp settings to sound correct. A Tone Factor Starters folder with 10 hand-selected IRs from the pack is included to help you get started quickly.
