TAF Blue is the Supercab IR Library created by Andy from TheAmpFactory in his Orange Tree Studios HQ that captures a VOXAC30* 65/66 with Celestion Blue-PreRola speakers.
"This speaker is and was the main reason why I went into producing my own IRs. "Blue" speakers have their own sound, but this one in particular has its VERY own character not like any other. Its softer, more gentle, unless you poke it, and it becomes unfriendly but in an adorable way!. If someone asked me what is the pinnacle of guitar tones, I’d always refer to this speaker. It's what always comes to mind when thinking of any guitar based sound. It will never age, it will never die. And best of all, it's now eternally captured."
- Andy (TheAmpFactory)
This amp and its speaker was in Abbey Road Studios, and the special thing is that this was one of the amps used for many of the Beatles recordings. To this day, the amp lives on, still in its original format, with no problems thus far! Just don't ask me to turn the thing on!
