JENSEN® RAPTOR - LARGE CABS - SUPERCAB LIBRARY (576 IRS)

The official Jensen® IR library based on the “Raptor” (C12/100 RT) 100W ceramic speaker (576 IRs)

This is a systematic capture of a Jensen® Raptor, from the Jet series, installed in two different enclosures:

• a 2x12" Open Back cabinet

• a 4x12" Closed Back cabinet

This makes for a total of 576 IRs that were developed in conjunction with a Jensen® Speakers product specialist, in order to recreate the most authentic playing experience—as if you were playing the original speaker!

DISCOVER THE JENSEN® RAPTOR

The Raptor is one of the newest Jensen speakers that was released after an extensive development refining the ideal qualities of a contemporary, sophisticated, and touch responsive speaker. The inspiration came from revisiting the “American boutique” tones of the 70s and the 80s. In this period, a handful of designers developed some of the most iconic amplifiers ever, starting from blackface circuits and pushing them above and beyond in terms of gain and versatility, and swapping the vintage speakers for high power and more linear sounding ones. These amplifiers have voiced countless hit records since, and still are coveted as some of the best amplifiers ever made. The Raptor is designed to fit perfectly in such a scenario. Its a 100W ceramic speaker with a characteristic, vocal, and rounded midrange with a silky-smooth top end, all sitting on a solid, fat and firm bass foundation. Eminently versatile, the Raptor is equally suitable to clean, crunch and mild gain tones. When pushed into the high gain zone, it delivers a thick, focused, searing tone with a fully detailed top end without ever becoming harsh or aggressive.
