Producer Pack Vol 2: Mad Oak Studio is now available. The collection contains over 175 Cab IR files for the Axe-Fx II, Ultra or Standard.

These files may be easily uploaded to your Axe-Fx II using Fractal-Bot, or to the Ultra/Standard with any MIDI SysEx file player.
Axe-Fx II Firmware 10 included a collection of new Factory cab IRs, created through a different approach than previous offerings. Instead of capturing elements for later remix, we asked studio owners with incredible vintage gear collections to give us their best shot the mics/positions/preamps they would use for the discriminating player. Instead of using strict mechanical positioning, mics were placed from experience and blended to taste.
In addition to those mixes, however, these sessions produced a great number of additional IRs, now offered here. These include solo captures of the various mics used to create each mix, plus others which were initially set up but then muted. Together these IRs give you a palette of tones captured from the incredible cabs in the Mad Oak collection (plus a few we brought to the studio with us).
THE MAD OAK COLLECTION:
Here's what's included in Cab Pack 2:
- 5 Solo Mics on Each Cab listed above (except where noted)
- Shure SM57, Royer 121, Sennheiser MD421, AKG C414, through vintage 1272 preamps
- Some cabs also include Beyerdynamic M-88, AKG C451, and/or vintage Neumann U67 (slightly back from the cab).
- Any IRs which were used as factory cabs are also INCLUDED in this collection for reference.
The Mad Oak Sessions were produced by P.K. Pandey and Fractal Audio Systems and engineered by Thayer Harris and Benny Grotto.
