Baby Fenster – 57 Collection (1x12 Cabinet IR)

BABY FENSTER – 57 COLLECTION

The sound that built countless records.

One microphone.

One cabinet.

115 opportunities to find your tone.

The Baby Fenster 57 Collection captures the complete tonal range of the Baby Fenster custom ported 1x12 cabinet using one of the most iconic guitar recording microphones ever made:

The Shure SM57.

For decades, the SM57 has been the standard for recording high-gain guitars, delivering the aggression, clarity, and midrange character that has shaped everything from classic rock to modern sludge and extreme metal.

Combined with the Baby Fenster's custom ported design, the result is a collection of impulse responses built for players who demand:

• Crushing low-end authority

• Tight, controlled resonance at low tunings

• Aggressive attack without harshness

• Mix-ready clarity for heavy guitars and bass

This isn't a handful of cherry-picked captures.

It's a complete exploration of the cabinet through the lens of the world's most famous guitar microphone.
