OTTO H&K 412 CAB PACK *LIMITED TIME*
Regular price $24.99 Sale price $19.99Hughes & Kettner™ guitar cabs have been on my radar for a while, due to some friend's recommendations, not to mention their infamy with several heavier bands, past & present. I grabbed this cab as it was a unique and discontinued gem, with speakers made by Celestion™ specifically for Hughes & Kettner™: 60 Watt 8 ohm Rockdriver Juniors™. I later found out these speakers were the foundation that became the Celestion™ V-type™, according to Celestion's own Dr Decibel. These captures turned out better & more detailed, refined than I thought possible. Otto Audio always pushes to get more out of every cab.... heavier... this one is pure chug juice with all the pulp.
OTTO AUDIO H&K impulses are unofficial and unaffiliated, based on the HUGHES & KETTNER™ SLANT SC412™ loaded with 60watt 8ohm CELESTION™ G12F-60 Rockdriver Junior™ Speakers
21 mic captures, 10 positions per mic - exhaustive and yet easy to navigate and find a great tone right away.
30 mic mixes - Get riffing right away
Limitless Phase coherency - Every position and mic was phase aligned to perfection for blending with each other at any position, blending with other minimum phase cab IR's. Mix, match & stack for towers of tone without getting messy.
InteRvaled IR's ™ - I refused to stop with just accurate, or heavy - IR's must have clarity, articulation and sound pristine when playing power chords without congestion. Impact on chugs and separation when playing intervals is near top of the list of requirements when choosing a tone to play through or print to my session. How is this achieved? Fine tuning every part of the process and playing/testing by ear, then hand selecting each.
Big Iron Transformed ™ - Power amps that imbue just the right amount of push, texture and harmonics are what make Otto Cabs "secret sauce". Testing thoroughly 12 different power amps, I landed on the one that has "it".
Analog Mojo signal path - You've heard it a million times, but there's a reason for it: analog gear just has that warmth, life and something extra that makes audio feel organic - so I landed on running all mics through a Neve® flavored signal chain, finely tuned and adjusted.
In finality, most of all, to bear the name Otto, it must grip you and feel great to play; absolutely crush or it doesn't make the cut. Every IR capture was tested and played through to ensure it hits you with a wave of aural violence coming out of your studio monitors.
