5 . VOX AC30TB
This models an AC30 amp with the “top boost” circuit of the 1964 AC30.
It delivers a smooth and refined top end, a majestically deep overdrive,
and a rich, brilliant clean sound.
6 . BRIT 800
This models a British 100W single-channel head with master volume that
was made in 1983. Turn the GAIN control all the way up to get the thick,
snarling hard rock and heavy metal sound that dominated the 80’s.
7 . BRIT OR MKII
This is based on a distinctly colored British 100W head that features
two channels and a tube driven spring reverb. This amp model delivers
everything from characteristic British crunch, perfect for classic rock
and blues, to modern, high-gain sounds, ideal for hard rock and metal.
8 . DOUBLE REC
This models the modern high-gain channel from a wild beast of an
amp. Its deep and loose low-end, sparkling highs, and monstrous gain
are ideal for guitars tuned as low as possible, or for metal acts wielding
seven-string guitars.
9 . USER A [BOUTIQUE CL]
This models the clean channel of a high-quality amp that was produced
only on special order, and was known as the overdrive special. With a
beautifully rounded low range, a sharp midrange attack, and a sweet
treble register, this is ideal for single coil pickups.
10 . USER B [BRIT 1959]
This models the high treble channel of a classic hand-wired head made
in England during the early 60’s. Raising the volume of this 100W amp
all the way produces the signature crunch that will forever be the sound
of rock‘n’roll.
11 . USER C [BOUTIQUE METAL]
This models the crushing high-gain sound that emanated from a
German-made 100W four-channel amp head. We chose the “Heavy”
channel, which delivers a startling tightness when played with a
dropped-D metal tuning.
