Really enjoying the Brit FZ 421 s1 D and Brit FZ 421 s4 E with a 50W Jumped Plexi.All, here is a message and a gift for you from Dweezil Zappa. These IRs are selections from a collection he made for a previous tour. If you check him out on https://www.dweezilzappa.com, you'll see that he plans to do a massive cab IR collection next year!
In the spirit of the holiday season and my dad’s 80th birthday, I’ve decided to share some speaker IRs with all of my Fractal Audio friends! The cab IRs come with a unique history. The 4x12 Brit FZ - a Red fabric covered 1970s Marshall cab with 4 JBL D120 F speakers.
4x12 VSB FZ - a Red fabric covered 1970s Vox Super Beatle with 6 JBL D120 F speakers.
The mics used to create the IRs were a vintage white Sennheiser 421, a Neuman U67 formerly owned by Freddie Mercury, and an AKG C12 formerly owned by Neil Young.
The mics were processed using the 1968 "Rolling Stones Mobile Recording Studio", famously used to record albums including Led Zeppelin III, IV, Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffitti, as well as Machine Head by Deep Purple, Sticky Fingers by the Rolling Stones, Who's Next by The Who, and many others.
The cabs were captured by Dweezil Zappa and Matt Picone at EMEAPP outside of Philadelphia. They have been selected for humbucker guitars but also work well for single coil. All equipment in this session was used courtesy of EMEAPP (https://emeapp.org)
Enjoy the IRs and happy holidays to you and your families! Best, DZ

Found out this evening you can play Mountain Jam for half an hour without noticing that any time has passed at all....Really enjoying the Brit FZ 421 s1 D and Brit FZ 421 s4 E with a 50W Jumped Plexi.
Getting some really nice Allman-y sounds out of it....
that is not a d120 cone. recone with a e or k coneExactly, so there aren't six speakers in the picture of the 4x12, nor in the IR that is labeled 4x12.
6 refers to the model number of the speaker in the 4x12. For example the above picture that I took from this listing: https://reverb.com/item/9060491-jbl-d120f-6
