Cab Pack - Austin Buddy - Buddy's Boutique

Get Vintage Tones from Buddy's Boutique

Cab Pack 17: AustinBuddys Boutique Cabs contains over 275 unique IRs of six highly coveted boutique guitar speaker-cabinet combinations. The pack includes 172 Core individual mic captures, plus an Extras folder with over 100 additional IRs, plus 39 ready-made mixes.

This Cab Pack is compatible with every Axe-Fx II or AX8 and can be uploaded using Fractal-Bot or Axe-Edit. This pack also includes the .IR files for use in CabLab 3 where you can create your own original mixes or simulate the sound of a mic'd speaker cab with or without an Axe-Fx.

Reminder: It is illegal to share mixes containing these or any commercial IRs.

UltraRes enhances the spectral resolution of an IR without extreme CPU burden or intolerable latency. It requires an Axe-Fx II or newer running firmware 13 or newer or AX8. Our Mic+DI technique factors out the effect of the power amp used during capture for an IR which more accurately represents the sonic characteristics of the speaker itself.

Not every mic was used on each cab.

All captures were done through an API preamp except those indicated N which are through a Neve.

A Captures are taken very near the dust cap. B Captures are taken at the Cab Edge. (There are no C captures as these were simply Cap Edge Off Axis). D Captures are taken on the cone.
