KW 412 M25-SH WAV
30 April 2024 | 98 MB
York Audio is proud to present an IR pack unlike anything we’ve released so far. The KW 412 M25-SH Cab Pack is based on a Kerry Wright 4×12 cabinet loaded with UK made Celestion G12M 25w Greenback speakers. Kerry custom built this cabinet for fusion guitar legend Scott Henderson, and it was an honor to work with Scott in creating a truly special collection of IRs that faithfully replicate the sound of his personal cabinet. The tone is utterly inspiring with a warm and thick low end, signature vocal Greenback midrange, and an incredibly detailed and articulate top end with remarkable note definition and string to string clarity.
This pack is the culmination of months of hard work undergoing extensive testing and fine-tuning every detail in order to give you the most authentic representation of this legendary cabinet only the fortunate few who own a Kerry Wright 4×12 have experienced. You’ll find the standard York Audio feature set with captures of single mics and multi-mic Mixes as well as a “Scott Henderson” folder containing his personal mic placements he uses on this cabinet.
There are also three custom artist signature Mixes created for Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World, which he is currently using for his live tones. He immediately connected with this cabinet and said “The closer-to-real factor is big enough (to retweak and reprogram his sounds around these IRs).” These Mixes are labeled “Mix JA 1-3” and sound fantastic!
To make sure we did this cabinet justice, we made substantial studio upgrades which now include mastering grade conversion, more microphones, and more mic preamps. But the feature we’re most excited about introducing with this IR pack is the addition of new Stereo Room captures and Stereo Mixes that give you a natural stereo image using real room ambience. These tools can give your tone an “amp in the room” feeling when played through headphones or a stereo monitoring system.
Here’s what Scott Henderson had to say:
“I’m blown away by the York Audio KW 412 M25-SH. Justin York has captured my beloved 4×12 Kerry Wright cabinet and I can’t hear ANY difference! This is absolutely life changing for me!”
-Scott Henderson
