About this block
The Mesa™ Boogie 4×12 Rectifier cabinet is probably the most wanted guitar cabinet of all time. Metallica, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Wes Borland - the list of successful bands and guitarists using this cabinet is beyond comparison. Its tight attack paired with a powerful top end sound has shaped modern guitar sounds for the last 30 years.
Four UK Made Celestion™ Vintage 30 speakers are loaded in this Mesa™ Boogie 4×12 Rectifier cab, which are carefully captured to spark in your mix!
Each IR is available in three variations: Tube provides a warm low end response and subtle tube distortion, Solid (State) gives an uncolored representation of the cabinet and S.P.A.R.C. is a unique flavour with a balanced frequency response that helps you cut through the mix.
To create the impulses, the following microphones were used:
- Shure™ SM57
- Sennheiser™ MD421-HL (Vintage)
- Audix™ D2
- Audiotechnica™ AT4050
- Sennheiser™ e609
- AKG™ C414 B-ULS (Austrian made)
- Shure™ SM7B
- t-bone™ SCT800
- Behringer™ ECM8000
