AustinBuddy - Vintage Black & Tweed
AustinBuddy's Vintage Black & Tweed - UltraRes Cab Pack contains 184 IRs produced for Fractal Audio Systems by AustinBuddy. This collection includes IRs of seven vintage speaker cabinets from the incredible collection of Austin Vintage Guitars plus one from Public Hi-Fi studio to give you a great variety of tones based on blackface and tweed-type amps, with a Quick Picks folder of 43 of AustinBuddys chosen best single mic captures.
User Cabs may be easily uploaded to your Axe-Fx or AX8 using Fractal-Bot, Axe-Edit, or Cab-Lab (which also works as a plugin with these IRs.) This pack also includes the high resolution .IR files required to create your own original multi-mic UltraRes mixes in Cab-Lab.
Reminder: it is illegal to share IR Mixes or Preset Bundles containing these or any commercial IRs.
Cabinets & Speakers

- Two Different 1950s era Deluxe Tweeds, based on an earlier (smaller) and later (slightly larger) Fender Tweed Deluxe, each with original speakers. If you love the sound of a vintage tweed amp (like Keef does), youll love these IRs.

This Cab Pack was produced by AustinBuddy along with Matt Gerhard as engineer and assisted in tracking room by Max Lorenzen at Public Hi-Fi Studios owned by Spoon drummer Jim Eno in Austin, Texas. A special thank you to Austin Vintage Guitars for making this possible!
