Oval - Cream H75/M65 Impulse Responses
Oval - Cream H75/M65 Impulse Responses
Introducing the latest release in the “Oval” series - the “Cream H75/M65”. These Impulse Responses pair 2 speakers from the Celestion Creamback series, the G12H-75 and G12M-65 and put them into a meticulously designed Oval back cab. This might be one of the most versatile speaker pairings I’m come across. The H75 provides top end clarity with extended low end response while the M65 could be described as the inverse - focused mid range with less top end and rolled off lows. Think of these speakers as a refined G12H-30 Anniversary/25 watt Greenback pair with smoother, more pleasant top end. I love these speakers on vintage or modern British style amps. Users of Matchless, Bad Cat, Friedman, Dr Z, and Bogner will feel right at home.
The Cab
Built to the specs of a legendary builder, this cab is like nothing you’ve ever heard. In an oversized 2x12 configuration, this cab provides an incredible balance of low end and definition using a carefully tuned open oval back.
The Speakers
The modern and higher wattage Celestion take on the Classic Greenback and G12H-30, the Creamback G12H-75 and G12M-65 are smoother than their low-wattage counterparts while remaining balanced and retaining the character of the originals . This makes them a great fit for modern or vintage amp designs alike.
The Capture
Unlike the previous Oval release, these were captured in a smaller, treated amp room to insure a balanced capture that works in a variety of scenarios.
The IR’s
There are 2 categories of IR’s included - Raw and Blended/EQ’d at 200ms and 500ms lengths in all common file rates (44.1, 48, 96). The “Raw” options are flat captures of different microphone/speaker combinations in different positions. Positions are labeled 1 through 4, with 1 being the brightest and 4 being the darkest. The Blended and EQ options are custom mixes of different mics and/or gently EQ’d options that are closer to a finished sound. Each Blended and EQ’ed option was done meticulously while playing through the IR, not just a stock blend or EQ setting. While there is no way to know exactly what your rig and needs are, my hope is that these options get you a better tone, faster! Mics include: Shure SM57, Shure 545SD, Shure SM7b, Sennheiser e609, Royer 121, Lawson L47, Neumann KM184
