- Join Nolly and Rabea in part 2 of our in-depth video series in which they demonstrate our Studio Cabs: Cali Oversized plugin, going through the different microphone options and discuss the details of the infamous Fredman technique.

Studio Cabs: Cali Oversized Edition is the second in our Studio Cabs series, and is a deep dive into what is potentially the most famous recording 4x12 of our time, renowned for its amazing smoothness, rich midrange and tight low end under the microphone. These attributes make it particularly suited to overdriven and high gain tones where they sound simply huge and pretty much mix-ready.
Capturing the tones for this was a labor of love for us - we’ve been obsessed with the sounds these cabs make for decades, but when Nolly started working as a producer he quickly found that not all of them have “the sound”. It turns out to get that iconic tone you need to track down golden examples from the 90s and early 2000s, so that’s what he did, amassing well over a dozen from that time period and auditioning countless individual speakers on top of that.
We chose only the 6 very best sounding speakers from his collection to capture for this plugin. Each was captured with 8 microphone options: 57, both vintage and modern 421 variants, two ribbons, two condensers and also an authentically-captured dual 57 Fredman array.
For all except the latter you can sweep the mic position across the sweet spot of each speaker using the Dark to Bright knob. The usable range for each microphone was carefully defined with each speaker separately, meaning that you can’t go wrong anywhere on the dial. Just adjust to preference. The plugin also has an intuitive Master EQ switch that subtly filters, sweetens and adds clarity, if you feel you need to add a touch of polish.
We’ve kept the popular .wav export function from our Zilla cabinet edition if you want to export you favourite IR blends to use with other devices, and you can load 3rd party IRs within the plugin too, though we hope you find everything you need within the cabinets we’ve captured.
We’re extremely proud of this plugin, and frankly wish we’d had it at our disposal many years ago - it would have saved a lot of time and heartache chasing the perfect guitar tone. We really hope it gives you as much enjoyment as we had making it.

Nolly is so well spoken and articulate, i could listen to him teach all day.
The C414 is the underrated mic in this pack. Normally I dont like this mic on cabs but in Cali its soooooo good. Its good by itself but sounds great with a 57.
It's great in the zilla edition too!
I said it once, I'll say it again ... There are no words to describe the respect for Nolly and his incredible talent in music.
Cheers.
Agree!!!
Yay more Nolly + Bea :D
Nolly + Bea = Epic
Very interested in part 3, crunch and clean.
Man I love these videos
Sounds good.
I wanna see this overview like a long long movie!
That cliffhanger though
What was being used as the "amp?"
The 414 from the GGD zilla plugin on the bigger zilla cabs, exported and used as a fattener in the cali plugin...... shit that is porn :D
Is this a signature Bea Duvell? 😱😱😱
It's a Duvell he got custom made from Mayones, but not a custom model!
The grin on Bea's face when he gets props from Nolly on his tones... oh man, that made it for me.
You can see Rabea brain explode in real time as Nolly goes off the deep end of recording techniques
Hahahaha he had those moments in the last video too.
When I was using the cab section within Archetype: Nolly, my combination has always been the 57 + 414, and since moving to GGD Cali, i'm still using the 57 + 414!
I hear what Rabea is saying about ribbons brining in the low end that you can then dial out, but I find the 414 has just the right amount of low end and it adds this mid-rangey kind of bark that I don't need to dial out or tweak, it sits really well for both for jamming and for mixing too!
how much of a difference do the GGD cabs make vs just using Arch Nolly?
Ok.. new bible to have and read every night before bed.
10:30 rabea’s “right” is priceless...
This was me when the math teacher answered my question before I got an F
I love how much Nolly loves gear
10:49 RIGHT!
I could really listen to you guys talking about this stuff for hours and hours and the plugin sounds mindblowingly good!
archetype Nolly + cali oversized?
In Nolly's playthrough yes but here it's a real 5150 block letter
Nice thats a multi part!
This is a gold mine of tone 🔥
Good afternoon GGD! Love you all :)
This proves that I’m not crazy about old vs new 421’s 😅. I’m loving the plugin. I’m using both my MKIIB and my MKV with a TAE.
Best plugin I've own. Great tones and easy to use. I have a dumb question tho. If you are going to recab for example a lead guitar, the post fx should be done separately? Or you could print the tone with the delay/reverb and then recab it
The product is awesome! Sounds so good. But please Logic AU format? :)
I love that this is MORE than just a demo. The little 421 tangent there... awesome. **cracks open another beer**
Mindblowing Pack! Thanks for this! So many options to dial in a dream Mesa sound! I worked with the Kemper with it and even there its really good! Nolly youre the man!
Heya Nolly (and Bea)! I know your using your plugin for this demo, but do you know what model of EVH 5150III they are using with Gojira? There's a theory going around that the three amps in Gojira are all three channels of the 5150III but nobody knows which one it is. My friend thinks it's the 6L6 version, I think (and Ermin is with me on this) it's the EL34 version. If you happen to see this also thanks for modeling my favorite cabs of all time as well!
Bea just like 🤔 💭 😳 “ I can’t believe I am breathing in the same air as mommy right now, keep it cool B. Tuck it up chap” 🤣🤣🤣🤣😌 jk 💜 u both
If you watched this video on your phone and did not use earbuds or headphones please go back and watch it again with that instead of the phone speakers. You can’t really get the value of this video otherwise, except maybe by listening on a PC with really good room speakers.
What about crashes DAW every time i try turn dark/bright knob?.. I hope you fix that...
Same here. Also the panning knobs don't seem to work at all.
No problems here?!
@@MatthiasBuesing Hmm strange. But it's OK, I'll just wait for an update. I still love the plugin for its sound.
@@FrancoW1 same)
Running in reaper here, no problems so far
15:25 made me thought we would never see nolly after this vid
Guys im wondering what amp heads are they using?
Which pickup is Rabea using? Tone sounds huge, crunchy, and well balanced ♥️
His signature Silo
I NEED part 3.
Cracks!
Really cool!
Has anyone gotten this to work with Reaper?
I have it and it works flawlessly.
