Interesting. I wonder which is chicken and which is egg.I was on the OH website the other day and noticed that there is a new bundle with the cabs from the Tone King Imperial pre-amp pedal that came out recently: https://ownhammer.com/products/imperial-bundle
I'm not that interested in most of the cabs, but really wanted the vintage Marshall's in it so I caved and bought it. The basketweave is listed as being a '71, which is the same year as the GNR cab, so I'm assuming it's the same. This new version sounds really good. When compared to the original, the new one is way leaner in the low end. That has always been my issue with the original and have been looking for a newer replacement and this seems to be it. I also compared it to the Friedman pre-rola and the Classic Rock pack. The Friedman is a little scooped and kind of bright and the Classic Rock one is more aggressive and also brighter.
The pinstripe is a '67 with G12H 25w 55hz speakers, which are pretty rare. It's a 1982b. which I believe were the tall oversized cabs during this era. This one sounds pretty cool also.
I tested out some of the Deluxe cabs with matching amps and also the Vox and they are all really good also. I really like the "boutique" mixes that are included, which are the ones taken from the Tone King pedal. They're really balanced sounding and not as agressive as a 57-121 mix.
I didn't see anything saying they were captured from the pedal. Did i miss it?
Or did Ownhammer do the IRs in the pedal in the first place? Didn't see anything saying that either.
