'64 SRV VIBROVERB E130 1x15 - XR IR PACK

This XR IR pack is based on our 1964 Fender™ Vibroverb 1x15 loaded with a vintage aftermarket 15” JBL E130, which is a speaker that Stevie Ray Vaughan used in his Vibroverbs in the 80’s and on his debut blues album, Texas Flood. SRV’s guitar tech, Cesar Diaz, stated in an interview that “…the first album, Texas Flood, was all Vibroverbs and JBLs”. If you need a speaker cab to rip the SRV blues, look no further!

 

This pack includes 9 different dynamic, condenser, tube, and ribbon microphones in 4 different positions across the speaker in single-mic and multi-mic blend configurations. Each single-mic IR includes 3 variations: Unaltered Mic, Enhanced, and Top Boost giving you raw and studio refined tonal options for the ultimate IR experience.

 

This IR pack is a part of our new XR IR Collection [XR = extreme realism], which is the result of countless hours of IR experimentation, development, and A/B testing. The XR Collection is our latest and most accurate line of impulse responses that we have ever created. When compared to the real mic’d cab using the same amp, it is difficult to discern any difference. We are proud to say these IRs deliver the truest representation of a cab in tone, feel, breakup quality, and harmonic information when pushed. Unlike our previous tone-matched IRs, these IRs are universal and can be used on any platform that can load IRs and are not dependent on using specific amp settings to sound correct. A Tone Factor Starters folder with 10 hand-selected IRs from the pack is included to help you get started quickly.
