York Audio YA ZILA 212 Manual

The York Audio ZILA 212 Cab Pack is based on a Zilla Fatboy 2x12 cabinet loaded with
Celestion™ Vintage 30 and H75 Creamback speakers.

Here is a brief understanding of the Cab Pack’s layout, file names, and multi-mic mixes.

File naming

Each shot was taken on various sweet spots on the speaker. Numbers 1-5 DO NOT
determine a capture’s brightness, darkness, or speaker position. The numbers only
determine which capture you’re listening to. Dynamic mics also include off-axis, or “OA”
shots, and are labeled 1-6, which are also taken from various parts of the speaker. Use
them on their own, or blend them with your other favorite mics for some truly unique
tonal textures.

Mics

Dynamic:
57 - based on a Shure™ SM57
421 - based on a modern Sennheiser MD421
906 - based on a Sennheiser™ e906
SM7 - based on a Shure™ SM7b

Ribbon:
121- based on a Royer™ R-121
160 - based on a Beyerdynamic™ M160

Condenser:
414 - based on an AKG C414

Which files to use

MPT (Minimum Phase) and RAW files are provided. For this cab, I recommend using
the MPT files to get the most “information” from each IR. MPT files are also preferred
when blending with “factory cabs.” MPT and RAW single mic captures sound identical.
The difference is found when making your own multi-mic mixes. Raw captures will have
a different phase relationship than MPT files with mellowed top end and varying degrees
of shift in the midrange.

All York Audio products have been tested with Fractal Audio Systems™, Line 6™,
Kemper™, and various software plugins to ensure seamless integration with your amp
modeling platform. Hardware units will convert and truncate files to proper length upon
import. Please refer to your hardware unit’s manual to determine which sample rate is
right for you and how to load them into your particular unit.

In brief:
48k - For use with Fractal™, Line 6™, Boss™, and most modeling units.
44.1k - For use with Kemper™ units.
96k - For use with Strymon™ Iridium.
