Celestion Introduces G10 Greenback Guitar Speaker Impulse Response

July 25 2019, 00:15
Celestion has added the very popular G10 Greenback guitar speaker to its celebrated family of Impulse Responses, offering a sonic nod to the 70’s and instantly familiar classic rock sound. The new G10 Greenback IR, along with the complete collection of other genuine Celestion guitar speaker tones, is available for audition and download at CelestionPlus.
 

Developed to recapture the legendary rock sound of Celestion’s 1970s 10-inch guitar speakers, the G10 Greenback offers a complex, enthralling mid-range and smooth, vintage top-end, with a ceramic magnet that provides that instantly familiar classic rock sound. It has always been a 10-inch guitar speaker that thinks it’s a 12. Delivering a warm-bodied character and distinctive throaty growl reminiscent of its 12-inch counterpart, the G10 Greenback adds real class in small cabs and gives rise to a raunchy, full-bodied tone, rich in low-end thump in a 4×10 formation.

Now the Celestion G10 Greenback speaker has been captured as a speaker Impulse Response and is available to download as a perfect digital representation.

The G10 Greenback IR was recorded using three classic, professional microphones – the Sennheiser MD421, the Shure SM57 and the Royer R-121 ribbon mic. Each of these mics were placed in six unique positions around the speaker, titled with the IR files as Thin, Fat, Balanced, Bright, Dark and Dark 2. An additional rear mic position was also used for recording the open back cabinets. These positions are all fully adjustable by the user when using the speaker impulse response files within a DAW, IR plugin or amp modeler. In addition to the three studio mics included with this IR pack, a Neumann TLM107 room mic was also used to offer the user to a huge range of tonal options.

The G10 Greenback speaker IR is available to download individually in five different cabinet configurations, including:
1×12 (open back)
1×12 (closed back)
2×12 (open back)
2×12 (closed back)
4×12 (closed back)
 
And all the G10 Greenback IRs can be purchased as a collection for a nearly 50% discount.
 
As with all of the Celestion Impulse Responses, the new G10 Greenback IRs are downloaded in .WAV format for compatibility with most DAWs, IR plug-ins and amp modeling software. Guitar processor manufacturers supported include (but are not limited to) Atomic Amps, Fractal Audio Systems, Kemper, Line 6, Logidy, Positive Grid, Two Notes, Headrush and Yamaha. The Celestion IR files may be downloaded in the sample rate and length appropriate for the hardware being used or as a complete package of all rates and lengths.
