Description

This is my late 90s Carvin 4x12 with Carvin's lighter-weight versions of Eminence Legend V12s. this cab is like 60 lbs, max. I absolutely adore these speakers because they have such a sweet top end and a full bodied midrange. They aren't moody about mics either--you can basically get a good sound with anything on them. I believe this cab was supposed to be paired with the MTS anniversary amps. It's also known as the same model Jim Root used for the first Slipknot album. Possibly Iowa as well? Either way, stellar cabinet and it was insanely cheap. As far as the capture: cab>Hughes and Kettner Stompman>Audient EVO 4 interface>. The software I used generates a full spectrum sweep (like the ones you hear when capturing on your modeler). I find this method to be more reliable and precise than doing the white noise "blip". Mics used are: Sennheiser e835 and e609, as well as the Mackie EM89D, which has become my go-to when I need one mic to get the job done. Gotta use some different stuff than the usual SM57, right? These captures turned out really well and I included some mic blends that sound best with modern amps and ones that seem to work best with the classics. Enjoy!
