Amp Models and Effects

This section describes characteristics of each amp model 

and effect.

AMP model

BTQ CLEAN

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.

BLACK 2x12

This models a black-faced 2x12" combo amp that has become 

an indispensible item for country and blues players. Its tight 

and clean sound provides deep piano-like bass tones, and 

will deliver the classic Chicago blues tone particularly when 

used with single coil pickups.

TWEED 4x10

This models a 4x10" combo amp from 1959 that was original

-

ly designed for bass guitar. Its smooth and crisp overdrive 

sound will respond sensitively to your picking dynamics 

and to the volume of your guitar.

AC15

This models channel 2 of the VOX AC15 (1x12", 15W), which 

was manufactured in 1962 and was a big hit for its compact 

cabinet, power, and great tone – along with then-popular 

British bands.

AC30TB

This models an AC30 amp with the “top boost” circuit that 

was included as standard starting with units produced in 

1964. It delivers a smooth and refined top end, majestically 

deep overdrive, and a rich and brilliant clean sound.

UK '70S

This models the high treble channel of a hand-wired amp 

head made in England during the early 60’s. Raising the 

volume of this 50W output amp all the way produces the 

crunch that will forever be the sound of rock ‘n’ roll.

UK '80S

This models a UK-manufactured 100W single-channel head 

with master volume made in 1983. Turn the GAIN control all 

the way up to get that thick, snarling hard rock and heavy 

metal sound that dominated the 80’s.

UK '90S

This models the high-gain channel of a modern 100W amp. 

While individual notes are clearly defined, it delivers a mon

-

ster sound that’s quite aggressive and arrogant.
