Celestion Vintage 30 - SM57 - 2003 Mesa Boogie 2x12

This 2003 Mesa 2FB Horizontal 2x12 cabinet is loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s manufactured in 2002. I just started building my IR reference of this cabinet with the Shure SM57. On-axis IRs, 1.5in (~3.8cm) to 2.5in (~6.4cm) from the cap in 0.25inch (~0.6cm) increments, were created. Off-axis IRs were captured in 0.5” increments. The 16ohm V30s in the Mesa 2x12 sound quite a bit different than the 8ohm V30s in my Mesa Traditional 4x12. The low end thickness isn't quite the same. I felt the best sounds were from the cap edge to the cone with this 2x12, while the best sounds were achieved closest to the cap with my 4x12. These Mesa V30s share some similarities to my V30 IR attempts with Jet City and Eminence 2x12 cabs. 24Bit 48kHz - 500ms - MPT Format Naming Convention: V30 <speaker position> 2FB 2x12 <mic> <Distance from Center> <Microphone Preamp> Speaker Positions are: L – left, R – right Equipment Used: -Shure SM57 -Behringer A800 Power Amp -Stam SA-73 Microphone Preamp -CAPI VP28 Microphone Preamp -RME UCX II Audio Interface -Voxengo Deconvolver 10sec sine sweeps were used to excite the speaker
