Appendix B: Amp Models
B•2
Crunch Amber -
This sound was crafted during our studies of the ‘68 Marshall
®
Plexi
50 Watt, which was used by a number of early metal bands. Crunch Amber provides a wider
range of tone control settings than the original jumpered Marshall
®
, allowing you to bump
up the mids even at the highest
Drive
settings.
Crunch Blue -
Here’s our inspired interpretation on a 2005 Orange
®
AD-30TC, a 30
watt, Class A head that oozes pure Brit rock tone, taking 60s crunch to a new level.
Hi Gain Amber -
Plexi On Fire! This amp model is based on a ‘68 Marshall
®
Plexi 100
watt with a few added extras; the combination of a Variac and the jumpered input channels
creates that infamous brown sound that will feel like flames are shooting out the input jack!
Hi Gain Blue -
Hi Gain Blue was inspired by the Diezel
®
Herbert, the 180 watt Ducati
of high performance guitar amplifiers, featuring a huge, tight low end.
Metal Amber -
For this amp model we took the classic Mesa/Boogie
®
Dual Rectifier
®
and added a few enhancements. The resulting Amp Model has a definite modern flavor.
This monster truck of tone delivers a bottom end that’s big, powerful, tight and fast. Use
Metal Amber to get a punchy, high gain Metal sound.
Metal Blue -
This model was created to deliver an aggressive high gain sound. It features
a unique
Mid
control that will sweep though an entire spectrum of tone on one knob. With
the
Mid
knob is set to minimum, the distortion exhibits Fuzz pedal characteristics. When
set to noon, it mimics the creamy modern high gain amp tones. When turned up to max, it’s
reminiscent of that maxed out Class A sound. Of course there are all the places in-between...
Insane Amber -
This model is our “dialed in for shredding” version of the Mesa/Boogie
®
Dual Rectifier
®
red channel. It combines the intensity and impact of Metal Amber, but
delivers more midrange and teeth for that bone-crushing, brain piercing insane grind.
Insane Blue -
Our goal with Insane Blue was to provide you with as much input gain
distortion as possible short of complete meltdown. You get an obscene helping of distortion,
while still retaining tonal definition and character. As a result, you get way more bottom
end and cabinet character than other small amps. Crank up the
Drive
control and prepare
to dominate!
