MESABOOG ST V30 FULLSTACK

The best of both worlds! This IR pack is based on our massive sounding Mesa Boogie™ Standard cabs. These iconic oversized cabs sound huge and are THE standard for high-gain tones. Both the angled (A) and straight (B) 4x12 cabs are loaded with their original mesa-spec Vintage 30 speakers (8 ohm versions).

 

This FULLSTACK pack includes the complete XR IR packs of each A and B 4x12 cabs that are sold individually, plus an additional 108 Cab Blend IRs that are only available in this FULLSTACK pack. Each Cab Blend IR is a 50-50 mix of the angled (A) and straight (B) cabs - you get all the punch and sizzle of the B cab mixed with the sweet midrange crunch of the A cab - 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.
