TONE MATCH PATCHES, CAPTURES, AND PROFILES OF OUR BAD CAT CUB III 40 (HAND-WIRED EDITION)

For these presets, we have captured a hand-wired Bad Cat Cub III 40. The result is set of presets and captures that sound exactly like our amp, and the microphones, preamps, and EQ chains that we use to record it.

Our Cub III 40 is from the hand-wired line of amp from Bad Cat, which aren’t produced any longer. It is a two-channel amp, 12ax7 and EF86. The 12ax7 channel has more chime and brilliance – it sounds more like a Top Boost AC30. The EF86 channel has more low-mid response and sounds thicker, but still has a ton of chime and bite.

We’ve tone-matched the amp through the matching 1×12 cab with a Royer 121 and Earthworks SR25 through a stereo Neve 1073 preamp.

TONE MATCH (Gen 2) PATCHES (Applies to Line 6 and Fractal presets)

These are part of our ‘Tone Match’ line of patches. To create these patches, we make custom IR’s that ‘match’ the HX and Fractal amp models to our real-world amp. The result is the Line 6 and Fractal units sound almost exactly like our actual amplifiers.

The ‘Gen2’ indicates a new process we’ve used when Tone Matching our amplifiers that takes more of the amplifier’s cab and speaker into account, resulting in a more accurate tone match impulse response.

Line 6 Patches available for Helix (floor, LT, and Native), HX Stomp (including Stomp XL), and POD Go.

By default, the patch includes both the 12ax7 channel and EF86 channel in a stereo configuration (POD Go has separate patches for each channel). This is sort of like jumping the amp (which isn’t actually possible with the real amp). If you would like just the 12ax7 channel to be represented in the patch, simply copy and paste the top amp and IR blocks into the bottom amp and IR blocks. If you would like just the EF86 channel to be represented in the patch, simply copy the bottom amp and IR blocks into the top amp and IR blocks.

This download includes patches for Helix, HX Stomp, and POD Go. Please make sure to import the appropriate patch for your hardware – they are not interchangeable.

You get two sets of patches (each with SC and HB options). One for the 12ax7 channel, and one for the EF86 channel.

  • BdKt C40 A/E TM2 S – This patch uses the IR’s and is meant for guitars with single coils (A=12ax7, E=EF86).
  • BdKt C40 A/E TM2 H – This patch uses the IR’s and is meant for guitars with humbuckers (A=12ax7, E=EF86).
  • NOTE: The HX Stomp and POD Go folders include ‘FX” patches. These patches include the additional effects blocks from the full Helix patch.

TONEX AMP CAPTURE PRESETS – Compatible with the Tonex/Amplitube Software and the TONEX pedal

For Tonex, we have captured the amp through its entire gain range of the amp for both the ’12ax7′ and ‘EF86’ channels. The Amp Model Presets and are numbered – higher numbers mean more gain. The ‘Edge of Breakup’ settings that we like to use with a pedal board are usually the 2 and/or 3 capture.

QUAD CORTEX CAPTURES

For Quad Cortex, we have captured the amp through its entire gain range of the amp for both the 12ax7 and EF86 channels. The captures and are numbered – higher numbers mean more gain. The ‘Edge of Breakup’ settings that we like to use with a pedal board are usually the 2 and/or 3 capture.

ALL-IN-ONE PRESETS

Also included are gig-ready (Sunday morning ready, to be more precise) all in one presets utilizing captures of this amp and our drive pedals. We’ve included separate presets for both single coil quipped and humbucker equipped guitars. You can use these presets in both Scene and Stomp mode, and they cover a ton of sonic territory.

HOW DO YOU GET THE CAPTURES?

When you place your order, we will need to manually send you the captures through the ‘Cortex Cloud’ app by Neural DSP, available for both iOS and Android devices. First, you need to have the app installed and you must have an account through the app (go here to create an account and access the app).

This is how we will send you the captures:

  1. Please include your Cortex Cloud app username in the ‘Notes’ field when checking out. If you do not include this, we cannot send you the captures. After we receive your order, we (WorshipTutorials) will follow you on the app.
  2. Follow ‘WorshipTutorials’ on the Cortex Cloud app. This will make us ‘friends’ through the app :). If you are not following us, we cannot send you the captures.
  3. After we receive your order, and we ‘Friends’ on the app, we will send you the captures through the app. We bundle the captures into presets, so you will receive one (or more) presets that include all the captures. You will find the captures in the ‘Shared with me’ section on your Quad Cortex.
  4. Please allow up to 5 business days for us to send you the captures. Most orders will be fulfilled within two business days or less. This fulfillment process must happen manually – we will do our best to get you the files quickly. Once the NDSP marketplace opens, this process may change.

KEMPER PROFILES AND PERFORMANCES – Compatible with the Kemper Head and Stage products

For Kemper, we have profiled the amp through its entire gain range of the amp. The Profiles and are numbered – higher numbers mean more gain. The ‘Edge of Breakup’ settings that we like to use with a pedal board are usually the 2 and/or 3 profiles.

KEMPER PERFORMANCES

We’ve also included fully featured Kemper performances with options for both single coils and humbuckers.
