New Vintage Audio Friedmans IR Pack

Dave Friedman has been building, modding and repairing amplifiers for many of the world’s biggest stars for the past 25 years. Friedman’s innovative designs and meticulous construction have made him legendary in the world of professional touring musicians while earning him a loyal clientele from all over the world. One of Friedman’s mainstays has been modifying amps to each player’s specific tonal palette, and to consult with other established amplifier companies to improve their own designs.

But Friedman's innovative designs don't stop there! Starting with the world wide known V30 at the heart of the cabs but also utilizing other Celestion classic speakers like the Greenback and the Creamback, the Friedman Cabs have a piece of beauty among them. The 412/15 is a monster cabinet that features two different speakers models and sizes. The top speakers are Celestion 12" G12H-30 which deliver strong, aggressive low-end and powerful low-mids.  The G12H penetrates any mix with an attacking upper mid-range and an ice-cool top- end.  Sitting beneath them is a pair of 15" Celestion 15G15V-100 Fullback speakers.  The larger cone diameter of this speaker delivers an extended low end response, with a big, deep voice.  The combination of these speakers deliver clean warm sounds all the way to all out assault without unnecessary coloration.

The New Vintage Audio Friedmans IR Pack includes 9 LIVE and 9 STUDIO Impulse Responses from 3 different cab/speaker configurations, with two additional tube variations for each cab/speaker configuration. By using a different power amp for each IR, we decided to make two more IR files by increasing the power amp's tube volume (and accordingly decreasing the fx loop/line out solid state volume) in order to give more color for those that want that tube sparkle and creamy tone!

Some of the most popular mics were selected in order to capture the most natural sound out of each cab/speaker configuration. The M160, MD421-II, SM57 and R121 were used so that every IR sounds distinct and unique, displaying the tonal characteristics of the cab and giving the user the vibe he would get as if he was near that cab! Once again, these are plug n' play so you don't need to do anything with the mics, their position or put EQ blocks to make it sound good. Just choose the IR you like and you're good to go!

The NVA Friedmans IR Pack includes “LIVE” and “STUDIO” Impulse Responses suitable for different situations:

LIVE IRs are more suitable for live gigs, rehearsals or loud volume in general. They are designed to give a great "amp in the room" feel and will behave like a tube amp (thin at lower volumes but full and round at higher volumes).

STUDIO IRs are more suitable for recording or playing at bedroom level through nearfield speakers or headphones. They are designed to give a balanced tone that also cuts through the mix. They already have Low/High cut filters applied on them so that they are plug n' play.

The concept behind NVA IRs is to enable the player to easily choose the cabinet he likes and immediately start jamming or recording without the feeling that a real cabinet isn't there.
