I would love love love love love a closed 4x12 and an open back 1x12 with Celestion Alnico Blues!!!!
And bass cabinets
Doing the Alnico Blue in the Bogner 4x12 this Friday, actually. Will be doing 1x12's and bass cabs in the V3 Mix Libraries also!
Hey Kevin! I was wondering if you had any plans of shooting the "Based on a 2010 15-ohm Celestion T1281B 55-Hz cone "Heritage" G12H, made in England" speaker inside of the bogner cabinet. Thanks!!
Doing this one this Friday as well.
The Bogner with the M-55-PR PVINT 5 is great for a Plexi sound that is not too "hot-rodded" and sound more old school. I think I like it better than the the Marshall CB IRs of the past because it sounds a little bit less aggressive/more woody with that speaker in the Bogner cab. I've been using CK's Mesa V30 for my drive patches even though it's not the normal IR you'd use there. Great IR but not the right Marshall vintage tonality. I'm sure the Brit TV will handle that better when it's released.
Kevin, do you have any line of sight to vintage 1960A basketweave cabs? I like that type of tonality...like the one Redwirez and TAF have shot. It would be cool to hear your V3 rendering of something vintage.
The IR arms race is heating up! Too many to choose from which makes it hard to simplify and consolidate.
60's basketweave - not yet, one of several cabs on my hunting list. 70's checkerboard - you betcha. Gonna V3 Mix Library the crap out of that thing in the not too distant future.
***********
As an aside, as mentioned in the OP I am planning to sample every speaker I have (at current I have about 60 12-inch guitar speakers, and some 10 inch guitar and bass speakers) in every cabinet I have that they can fit in. The end result will be well over 1,000 libraries over the next several years. Depending on my workload in my other responsibilities (day job, parenting, etc), I can put out about 5-20 of these a week. For anybody wanting to know what is coming out every day I would highly recommend liking the OwnHammer Facebook page (
facebook.com/ownhammer) to get the releases in your feed. I am not the type to obnoxiously self promote in forums I don't own, so I won't be spamming this sub-forum or even this thread (or start a new one) every time I mic up a cab. I'm happy to post replies and interjections on big news though, so ask away here, but just wanted to put out there where I will be actively providing release information that is not in response to customer inquiry.
I'm very happy everyone is having such a fantastic experience with these new V3 Mix Libraries, and thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your support!
