'80 MESABOOG EVM12L ALTEC FULL STACK - XR IR PACK

This XR IR pack is based on our vintage '80 Mesa Boogie 1x12 cabs loaded with Altec 417-8H & EVM12L speakers. This FULL STACK pack includes the complete XR IR packs of each 1x12 cab that are sold individually, plus an additional 108 Cab Blend IRs that are only available in this FULL STACK pack. Each Cab Blend IR is a 50-50 mix of the Altec 4178H & EVM12L 1x12 cabs - you get all of the chime and sizzle from the alnico Altec & all the deep, smooth tone of the EVM12L - the best of both worlds in single blended IRs! The Cab Blends folder includes every mic type and mic position with the normal processing options [Unaltered, Enhanced, & Top Boost].

 

 

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.
