- Format: Impulse Responses (IRs) WAV
The Celestion Vox Blue 1962 IR Collection brings you the unmistakable sound of one of the most iconic speakers in music history. Loaded with an alnico magnet, the Vox Blue was first introduced in 1961 and quickly became synonymous with the Vox AC15 and AC30 amplifiers. Its bright, musical tonality—complete with shimmering highs, a rich midrange, and warm bass—became the defining sound of the early 1960s and helped shape the music of legendary bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones during the ‘beat boom’ era.
Now, thanks to Celestion, you can access this classic sound in the form of digital impulse responses (IRs), faithfully recreated from a set of Vox Blue speakers dating back to 1962. These IRs capture the essence of the original speaker cone and provide you with the smooth, broken-in sound that has defined decades of music.
Key Features of the Vox Blue 1962 IR Collection:
Authentic 1962 Sound
The Vox Blue 1962 IR Collection is a faithful re-creation of the Vox Blue speaker from the early 1960s. These impulse responses exhibit the same musicality, chime, and tonal complexity that made the Vox Blue famous. Whether you’re aiming for Beatles-style jangle or the classic British tone that shaped rock ‘n’ roll, these IRs are an essential addition to any guitarist’s arsenal.
Complete Range of Speaker Configurations
To give you a full spectrum of tonal options, the Vox Blue 1962 IR Collection includes impulse responses for a variety of speaker configurations:
- 1×12 Closed Back: Perfect for tighter, focused tones with a punchy low-end.
- 1×12 Open Back: Ideal for open, resonant sounds with a wider tonal range.
- 2×12 Closed Back: Adds more depth and richness while retaining focus.
- 2×12 Open Back: A balanced mix of smooth highs and full-bodied mids.
- 4×12 Closed Back: Get the classic, thick sound of the 4×12 configuration, ideal for heavier tones.
These configurations allow you to experiment with different tonal nuances and find the perfect match for your playing style.
Vintage Tonality – Smooth and Broken-In
One of the unique features of this collection is that these impulse responses capture ‘broken-in’ Vox Blues. The original speakers in this era had been played in, resulting in a smoother, warmer sound—an essential element of the legendary Vox tone. These IRs perfectly emulate that smoothness, giving you a more natural, vintage feel than new, unbroken-in speakers.
