PrinceVerb P10R IR Cab Pack

IMPORTANT NOTES

1. CROSS PLATFORM: These .WAV impulse responses can be used in any hardware or application that supports IR’s. This includes products by Line 6 (Helix, HX Stomp, HX Effects, etc), Kemper, Axe-FX, etc.

2. EXPERIMENT: We’ve included multiple options in this IR pack (more details below). The best idea is just to start experimenting and find the IR or combinations of IR’s that sound the best.

QUICK START

The first step is to determine what sample rate and length you need to use. Refer to the user manual of the hardware or software you intend to use the IR’s with to determine the correct file type. These IRs come in the following options:

• 44.1 kHz, 200ms and 500ms
• 48 kHz, 200ms and 500ms (Line 6 Hardware – use 500ms)
• 96 kHz, 200ms and 500ms (IRIDIUM – use 500ms)
• We’ve also included a ‘Line 6’ and ‘Iridium’ folder. These are the 48k 500ms and 96k 500ms options respectively.

Next you’ll want to experiment with the different mic options. Our recommendation is to start with the ‘mic combo’ options. We have found that if you intend to run two IR’s in stereo, the best results come from using two different single mic IR’s. See the ‘Mic’ section below for more details.

THE CAB/SPEAKERS

These IR’s were created from a Fender ’64 Princeton Handwired Re-issue loaded with a Jensen P10R speaker. The Jensen P10R (which comes stock in the ’64 HW RI Princeton) is a common speaker upgrade for the Princeton amp platform and provides classic vintage Fender tone. These IR’s pair extremely well with Princeton and Bassman type amps.

THE MICROPHONES 

To create this IR pack we used a variety of microphones, including ribbon, dynamic, and condenser microphones.

In the file names you’ll see microphone codes. Here is what they mean:

• ‘7B’ – This is the Shure SM7b. It’s a dynamic microphone that sounds a bit smoother and warmer than an SM57 with a slightly different midrange character. Pairs well with ribbon mics.
• ‘160’  This is the Beyerdynamic M160. It’s a ribbon mic that is a popular alternative to the Royer 121. It’s punchy and offers the warmth of a classic ribbon mic but with the punch and midrange often found in dynamic mics. Pairs well with dynamic mics.
• ‘121’ – This is a Royer 121. The 121 is a classic ribbon mic used on countless hit records. Pairs well with dynamic mics.
• ‘SR25’ – This is the Earthworks SR25. A small diaphragm condenser that works extremely well on a wide variety of instruments, and surprisingly well on guitar cabs. It’s very articulate and bright without being harsh, but has a ton of warmth and character as well. We love pairing this with the 160. Pairs well with ribbon mics.
• ’57’ – The Shure SM57. You’ve heard it a million times on a million guitar tones. Tried and true. The midrange of this mic is perfect for guitar tones, but on it’s own it can be somewhat bright and harsh. Pairs well with ribbon mics.

INCLUDED DOWNLOADS

The IR’s are available in WAV formate in four different sample rates: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz (all at 24 bit) and at both 200ms and 500ms. This ensures these IR’s  are compatible with a wide variety of hardware and software options.
