This is a systematic capture of a Jensen Vintage Alnico P15N speaker, from the Vintage Series, installed in a 1x15" Open Back enclosure, for a total of 608 IRs, developed in conjunction with a Jensen Speakers product specialist, in order to recreate the most authentic playing experience, as if you were playing an original speaker.

One of the first speakers ever used in a guitar amplifier, the P15N was loaded in the earliest Fender Bassman™ and Bandmaster™ amps, setting the milestone for those classic tones. The P15N delivers a warm, full bodied tone, with deep basses, and a nice, extended top end. Excellent for all different shades of clean and pushed clean tones. Captured in the classic 19 microphones/16 positions Overloud process.

Also Includes The Remastered Version:

This library also includes the remastered version of all the IRs.

The vintage Jensen speakers were designed mainly for clean tones. The maximum overdrive achievable back in those days was generated by the amplifier’s natural clipping and compression, and maybe by some of the earlier fuzz pedals. Those speakers were voiced for a sparkly, shimmering treble response, with a remarkable amount of energy well over 6kHz, to be coupled with the warm sounding circuits, and the thin, resonant cabinets of the era.

The IRs of the Vintage Jensen Speakers behave exactly as expected, bright, clear and detailed.

In the modern world, especially with high gain tones, naturally very rich of harmonic overtones, all this energy in the treble range may sometimes turn in an overly bright, aggressive tone.

To further expand the possible applications of these historical speakers, we decided to offer all the Vintage Jensen IRs also in a “Remastered” option, where we finely tuned the top end response to be warmer and less prominent, so as to make it suitable also in more contemporary, higher gain applications.

A sort of virtual “aged tone”, that offers a whole new range of sounds for every application. All the IRs in the library are effectively doubled by the “Remastered” version, opening up new possibilities to the player, once again “beyond the original hardware”.

The microphones used during the capturing session are:

• AKG C12
• AKG* C414
• AKG C414 XLS
• Audio Technica AT4033
• Beyerdynamic M160
• Coles 4038
• Electrovoice* RE16
• Groove Tubes MD1
• Neumann KM84
• Neumann U47
• Neumann U87
• RODE NT1
• Royer R121
• Sennheiser E609
• Sennheiser* MD421
• Shure B52
• Shure* SM57
• Shure SM58
• Shure SM81

Every microphone was moved to four different horizontal positions (Cap, Cap Edge, Cone and Cone Edge) and two distances and two angulations, for a total of 16 IRs each.

All the measurement set has been repeated for each one of the cabinet in the library.

All IRs have been phase aligned and they can be blended without phase cancellations.

MADE FOR THE SUPERCABINET

This library was created for the TH-U SuperCabinet that allows you to:

• Graphically browse the IRs in the library
• Blend multiple IRs and create totally custom and huge stereo guitar tones
• Compose new cabinet tones with the unique Multiband mode
• Export your crafted IRs in .wav format for use with all major hardware modelers and software IR loaders
