OwnHammer Rock-Box V30MV-2001A Impulse Responses IRs
Soft / Samples, Presets, Banks Of Sounds
5-10-2023
The OwnHammer Rock-Box cabinets are proprietary enclosures, designed and built in-house singularly for impulse response capture and towards multiple sound design goals: to maximize fidelity and musicality for use in a broad range of styles and applications, to provide a tone that is both something familiar and something new, and to exude a neutrality that allows the individuality of different speakers, guitars, pickups, amps, and playing nuances to shine through unencumbered. Various unique construction choices were implemented to accomplish this complex requirement set to outstanding result, providing a tone with clean low end, magical midrange, smooth high end, and incredible note clarity across the entire spectrum.
Make: Celestion
Model: G12V (T3897)
Diameter: 12 inches
Year: 2001 (07ML)
Impedance: 16 ohm
Fs: 55 Hz (444 cone)
Based on 16 ohm Celestion Marshall Vintage speakers loaded into our Rock-Box cabinets, the combination is something that at times defies logic. It's smooth on the top yet it's detailed. It's forward yet it's girthy. It snarls in the upper mids yet it's never pinched, nasal, or harsh. It has great body in the lower mids yet it's never wooly or muddy. The low end punches with authority yet it is controlled and tight. It's great for the heaviest and the cleanest of tones. This is something that no matter your music style, you need in your tone arsenal. The density of sound, with everything you'd want in a guitar tone and nothing you don't, feels meticulously calculated, yet it's completely natural and organic. This collection will stand the test of time. You owe it to yourself to pick this one up and just lose yourself in your instrument and your music.
35 unique multi-mic mixes, all captured through major production/mastering grade signal chain:
Classic Cab - 5 mic mixes, 5 positions each (25 IR's)
Blend Cab - 1 mic mix, 5 positions (5 IR's)
Modern Cab - 1 mic mix, 5 mic positions (5 IR's)
No post processing has been applied to any component of this library, allowing the inherent gear to present in its natural state; warts, quirks, charms, and all.

OwnHammer Modern Progressive Essentials Impulse Responses IRs

Sound Design Overview:
The Modern Progressive Essentials wave audio format impulse response library is based on an OwnHammer proprietary cabinet loaded with speaker types and captured in such a way as to recreate the guitar cabinet tones of the 2010's era New Wave of British Progressive Metal, from which it takes its most heavy sonic inspiration.
The signature and highly sought after "California crunch" in the midrange found here is instantly recognizable and undeniably familiar to those who hold this sound dear. While most at home in post millennium progressive hard rock and metal, this tone filter will serve well any who seek the harmonious marriage of chunk and clarity.

OwnHammer Low Tuned Essentials

9-03-2023
Low TunedThe Low Tuned Essentials wave audio format impulse response library is based on an OwnHammer proprietary cabinet captured and mixed in such a way as to complement extended range and heavily downtuned guitars for use in contemporary music styles and production. While not exclusively useful within these parameters, the primarily intended application is for guitars with the lowest pitch being B1 and below.
When increasing the unit weight of a string in combination with down tuning, the inherent resonance of the string changes tonality. In simple terms it gets muddy; where the thicker the string and the lower the pitch, the more it builds. The IR's in this pack combat this by shaping the tone in such a way as to reduce that mud, yet provide additional support for lower fundamentals so that tones are clear and detailed, without being harsh or thin, while still full bodied and retaining authority.

The York Audio VX30 212 BLUE Cab Pack is based on a Vox™ AC30/6 TB loaded with the original Celestion™ Alnico Blue speakers from 1994. This was my personal amp I used on tour with Paramore and I'm thrilled to offer faithful impulse responses of one of my favorite amps. While the red exterior is rare (only 36 in the world), the tone of this amp is classic Vox™ all the way. The tone is surprisingly warm with lush low-mids and just the right amount of the signature "boxiness” these amps are known for. The top end chimes with great clarity without being abrasive even with single coil pickup equipped guitars.
