Hiroshi Shibasaki’s signature IR pack, built around two 4×12 cabinets he has used in his own studio and live setups. The Bogner™ Slant with Celestion™ Vintage 30s provides tight, articulate low-end and a forward midrange — the voicing Shibasaki reaches for in modern high-gain and precise rhythm work.
The Marshall™ 1960AX with Celestion™ G12M Greenbacks brings the warmer, more open response with controlled distortion characteristics. It covers everything from classic rock to modern tones where the Bogner would be too aggressive.
Mic selection, placement, and tone tuning were all supervised by Shibasaki himself. Each cabinet was tracked through several mic positions and orientations to give the IR loader maximum flexibility in matching the source material.
Tight, articulate low-end with substantial weight and clarity. Suits modern high-gain tones and precise rhythm work.
Single Mics
Files marked with f are far position — recorded slightly further from the cabinet than the standard close-mic, capturing a touch more air and room interaction. Other suffixes (v1, v2, off) indicate alternative placements or rotations.
Mix Files
Two mics blended at fixed ratios. The numbers in the filename (e.g. 3-7) indicate the blend ratio. Below are three representative examples (57III + R121); the full library contains many more combinations.
Warm midrange and restrained highs with controlled distortion response. Covers classic rock through modern tones.
