The TAF GOLD – SuperCabinet IR Library features a 1×12 cab with Warehouse B&B (Alnico*) speakers, capturing the creamy and mellow tones that are ideal for delicate playing and clean to breakup vibes. Developed by Overloud in collaboration with TheAmpFactory, this library provides an authentic and delightful sound experience. As Andy from TheAmpFactory notes, “One of my all-time favorite speakers, creamy, mellow, light, and delightful. It does not do angry very well, but for that delicate player & approach, it’s perfect. The GOLD, like the BLUE, is a fairly low-watt speaker, meaning it can break up earlier in the power stage, and this speaker is perfect for that clean to breakup vibe.”
The library is designed for Overloud’s TH-U SuperCabinet, which allows users to graphically browse the IRs, blend them together, craft new cabinet tones with the unique Multiband mode, use the IR in the software, and export the IRs in .wav format, compatible with software IR loaders and all major hardware modelers.
