Hi Sylvain!

Thanks for a great addition of cabs!
I really like some of these, especially the "vintage" ones, as that's what I usually go for. Your cabs have a fatness I love.
Very happy to finally see a Neumann U47 Tube mic also. Will get the Princeton as soon as it's available.

Keep up the good work – would love to see a few vintage fender and vox cabs

Knut

That's awesome, the 10" Princeton is a classic that really was missing from the essentials list, so many 70's albums done with that amp. It's also very common choice for mellower indy rock and of course Clavinet amongst others.

Andy

Great news, looking forward to getting some (especially the Princeton 10").

I'd like to request some vintage open back Vox Cabs with Celestion Silver(s) or Blue(s) for my Vox AC30TB tube preamp if possible (they are typically common in the EU).

I've done a lot of work on vintage MCI consoles, can't wait to hear these captures, Merci!

The stock cabinets Voice 30 and VoiceModrn are Vox with Celestion Blue and Silver.

Hi Guys!

really happy to read you.

The Princeton Reverb is mine and it's true love story on stage and on studio.

For those who love vintage tones, I specially recommand to try the Vox T60.
Even it's a bass cabinet, imho it's wonderfull on guitar sound.

We are preparing a second batch.
So don't hesitate to tell us what do you prefer and what do you think about this captures.

We haven't do many test but AEA92 and U47 tube seems to be royals choices don't you think?

Keep rockin' the free world.

a small clarification ....

Voice 30 = 2x12" VOX AC30 JMI, Celestion Silver Bell
VoiceModrn = 2x12" VOX V212H, Celestion Alnico Blue
Voice 65 = 2x12" 1965 VOX AC30/6, with stock Celestion Alnico

You know them better than I do.

Brit Frizz is simply amazing! And I'm not even into british sound. It just sounds powerful and clear, with lots of highs, but not the nasty fizzy highs.
I like that the cab has a more useful range on the "center" parameter. A lot of cabs already sound too muffled for me with center at 10%, so there's not much room to tweak.
Just bought the BritGreen aswell, you guys know how to make the SM57 sound great, I didn't like the 57 on a lot of other cabs.
I'd love to see a Rivera K 412T with V30s
Keep 'em coming guys!

Yeah, I'm digging the BritFrizz too. It's got it's own thing going on. It looks like there are a couple of different speakers in the picture. What kind of speaker was used for the capture, a G12T-75?

sorry....

I'm happy to note your interest for our work. It's motivating!

I'm not really sure about the speakers of the BritFrizz. It seems to be four G12T-75 but I'm not sure.
For this capture we used the left bottom one. I have try every cabs of the Studio Mirador's bundle in real life... This one as a f"'(§!ù^ mojo!

There's a lot of parameters who define a guitar sound.
In this case, my only certainty it's that the room and the console's preamp are ultra musical and built with highest care of every detail.
I'm convinced that's two big points. Room and preamp... Of course mic like legendary vintage U47 tube could help.

Anyway, we are really proud to bring our little contribution to two notes capture masters and to guitarists all over the world!!

It's only rock'n'roll... But we like it.

some picture of our capture...

I just bought the Tangerblak (Orange 2x12 ) and OMG the sound is excelent with Orange Tinyterror : o

I bought too the BritWhite for my Engl E530, and i can't live without it

Really great job !

Hi Eglyn,
nice to meet you virtually.
Tiny terror and Engl530 are amps that I like and I used so many times.

I have recently recorded guitars using the Silver10.
I hope it would be available soon in La Boutique.
Ten inches speakers are really interesting and princeton reverb is great!

We're putting the last touches on the new Torpedo Remote, and the 10" will be good to go.

Hi!
Martial Allart used our capture of 1x2 Fxamps studio for his Fxamps DrB Amp demo
Cool!

Our capture Silver10 based on the Fender princeton reverb is now available !
