Description:
This IR pack is based on our Benson™ Chimera Reverb 2×12 combo, equipped with our stock Benson™ Custom G12H Ceramic Sounding Speakers. The pack includes 9 different dynamic, condenser, tube, and ribbon microphones positioned in 4 different positions on the speaker in single-mic and multi-mic configurations. Each single-mic IR pack includes 3 options: Unaltered Mic, Enhanced, and Top Boost, giving you raw and studio-honed tonal options for the ultimate IR experience.
This IR pack is part of our new XR IR Collection [XR = Extreme Realism], which is the result of countless hours of IR experimentation, development, and A/B testing. The XR Collection is our newest and most accurate line of impulse responses we have ever created. When compared to a real mic cabinet using the same amp, it is difficult to tell the difference. We are proud to say that these IRs provide the most accurate reproduction of the cabinet sound in terms of timbre, feel, breakdown quality, and harmonic information when in use. Unlike our previous tone-matched IRs, these IRs are universal and can be used on any platform that supports IR loading and do not rely on a specific amp setting to sound correct. Included in the pack is a Tone Factor Starters folder with 10 carefully selected IRs from the pack to help you get started quickly. Contents
