Cabinet


As opposed to the traditional plywood or particle board used for most guitar and bass speaker cabinets, this library centers around a one-off, custom built 4x12 made from dense, heavy, solid African moabi hardwood with no tolex/covering.

This change from utilitarian and basic construction grade materials to exotic and solid furniture grade/tone-wood materials and finishing takes what is traditionally a piece of road-ready live sound reinforcement equipment and treats it more like an acoustic instrument, resulting in a sound that is more lively, woody, tight, and resonant response compared to a plywood speaker cabinet (covered in glue and tolex) of nearly identical dimensions.


Voicings


Impulse response libraries most often seek to replicate or simulate specific gear configurations on an individual basis. The Designer Hardwood series deviates from this approach and instead focuses on a results driven sound design goal, where the sum is the focus rather than the parts.

For this library, numerous Celestion® T1221, T3903, T3904, T4335, and T5901 speakers spanning the 1970’s through the 2010’s were captured and blended together in various ways -- on top of changing the amount of active speakers in the cabinet at a given time as well as changes in mic technique -- to create the different following nine distinct sound groups:

Core Voicings
Extra Large • Large • Medium • Small

Specialty Voicings
Balanced • Cali Style • Contemporary • Down Tuned • Drogonian
