'64 AC30 T530 BLUE ALNICO 2x12 - XR IR PACK

This pack from our XR IR COLLECTION is based on our vintage 1964 Vox™ AC30 2x12 loaded with its legendary T530 BLUE ALNICO speakers that have their original Pulsonic “H1777” cones. An absolute iconic British tone monster!

 

Our 1964 Vox AC30 with T530 Blue Alnicos delivers that legendary blend of chime, warmth, and feel—glassy, articulate highs with a rich, woody midrange and tight, musical lows. Clean tones shimmer with dimension, instantly recalling The Beatles, while pushing the amp brings on that smooth, singing compression and edge-of-breakup grind made famous by The Edge. If you want chime, this IR pack is it!

 

 

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.
