Hello Friends,

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 guitar playing friends! The speaker cab IRs come with a unique history. The 4x12 Brit FZ - a Red fabric covered 1970s Marshall cab with 4 JBL D120 F speakers. These cabinets were part of my dad's guitar rig called "Ma Bell" in the 70's.

4x12 VSB FZ - a Red fabric covered 1970s Vox Super Beatle with 4 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 Graffiti, 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 tuned for humbucker guitars but also work well for single coil. All equipment in this session was used courtesy of EMEAPP (https://emeapp.org)

 

If you like these FREE ultra-rare speaker IRs that come with a considerable pedigree please consider becoming Silver Subscriber as well. In the future, I will be creating an entire speaker cab IR collection paired with custom made Fractal Audio presets.It will be part of an ongoing library with different purchase options.

Be sure to download your free cab IRs for Christmas and anything else you fancy on the site.

Enjoy the IRs and happy holidays to you and your families! Best, DZ

      Hey Dweezil - thanks for the IR’s!  Do you have any EVH IR’s that you are able to share and/or available to purchase?

        Hi Joey,

        I haven't got any EVH style IRs yet. I will be making some this year though. I have a cabinet that is a close match to the cab used on the 1st VH album. When I finally get the time I'll do some proper IRs for that cab.

            Hi Dweezil - any chance you can make these available in regular Fractal UltraRes format for us mere mortals that can't quite stretch to an AXE FXIII but would would still like to enjoy Frank's cabinets on the AX8 or AXE FXII

              is it possible to get a wav or flac-extension? I can't open the syn-extension.

                Hi Huc,

                These are made specifically for the Fractal Audio Axe Effects units which use sysex files for speaker IRs. I'm sorry to say, I don't have the files in any other format.
