Unlock Great Tone with DynaCab™ Packs
IMPORTANT: This Cab-Pack requires Cab-Lab version 1.02.00 or newer. Please download the latest version at fractalaudio.com/cab-lab-4
The 2x12 Matchbox D-30, produced by Chris Baseford, includes separate captures of the two different speakers in this legendary combo containing a 25-watt custom Matchless/Celestion G12M Greenback and a 30-watt custom Matchless/Celestion G12H-30. This combination was an important part of the original amp design, with each contributing its own distinctive character.
The pack is an ideal companion to the Fractal Audio Matchbox D-30 amp model, based on the Matchless DC-30.

Easy and Intuitive Visual Tone Shaping
For decades, artists, producers, and engineers have carefully positioned and mixed microphones on guitar cabs in pursuit of great tone. DynaCab™ replicates this process in a revolutionary way, allowing you to hear results in real time while graphically moving a virtual mic on a virtual speaker. Compared to previous techniques, DynaCab™ makes it faster, easier, and more intuitive to find your perfect tone.
DynaCab™ technology transforms the tone-shaping experience. Instead of cycling through countless IRs, the visual and intuitive Cab-Lab 4 interface lets you select your desired speaker cab and mic, then adjust mic position and distance until you achieve your desired sound.
Key Features:
- DynaCab™ IRs are 8192 samples long.
- Fine spatial resolution for precise mic positioning.
- Combine up to four DynaCab™ selections or mics per mix in Cab-Lab 4.
- Automatic time alignment for mix-and-match flexibility at any mic distance.
Important Information
- DynaCab Packs require Cab-Lab 4, our free IR mixer and tools application/plugin.
- Cab-Lab 4 connects directly to Axe-Fx III, FM9, and FM3 for saving mixes to user cab slots and can export files for Axe-Fx II or AX8.
- “Software Live Mode” in Cab-Lab 4 allows live mix monitoring through any compatible audio interface.
- Cab-Lab 4 functions as a VST/AU plugin to “re-cab” live or recorded amp tracks and is compatible with other modeling plugins.
- DynaCab Packs do not add new DynaCabs inside the Cab block of your hardware. They are opened in Cab-Lab 4 to create and save custom mix IRs into “User Cab” slots, offering enhanced flexibility and a wider range of sonic options compared to onboard DynaCabs.
- An internet connection is required for installation and authorization on Mac or PC.
