The Fender Pro is a bit of an unsung hero. It doesn’t have the name recognition of the Deluxe Reverb, Bassman, or Vibroverb, but we consider it to be one of the sweetest sounding of the vintage black panel Fenders.
These patches are designed to replicate The Edge’s rig from U2. We’ll say it up front: it is nearly impossible to replicate The Edge’s rig into a single Helix or Axe-FX patch (or into multiple Helix patches, even), but this one gets really close
The ‘Edge’ Deluxe from Fender is a signature amp for The Edge from U2. The signature Edge 5e3 Deluxe features a few tweaks to the hand-wired circuit as well as a Celestion Alnico Blue speaker. The result is the familiar 5e3 Deluxe tone but with a bit more headroom and chime.
This amp is quite literally the sound of rock and roll – a 1971 Marshall 100w Super Lead. The modifications on this include internally jumping the two channels, so our patches and profiles reflect this. We captured the amp through a Bogner 2×12 cabinet using a Royer 121 and Earthworks SR25.
This amp is quite literally the sound of rock and roll – an early 70’s Marshall 50 watt Plexi. The modifications on this include internally jumping the two channels, so our patches and profiles reflect this. We captured the amp through a Bogner 2×12 cabinet using a Royer 121 and Earthworks SR25.
Our ’64 AC30 might look a bit beat up, but it sounds absolutely beautiful. This amp is simply legendary – Vox’s of this era have been and continue to be used by some of the most famous guitar players of all time, including The Beatles, The Edge (of U2), and Brian May (of Queen). Our has the original Alnico Silver speakers, and it is one of the best amps we’ve ever heard.
The Z-Wreck is a collaboration between Dr. Z, Ken Fischer (of Trainwreck Amps), and Brad Paisley. Together, they created the Z-Wreck in an effort to capture the tone of Brad Paisley’s vintage ’63 AC30. The Z-Wreck is a single channel, 30-watt EL84 amplifier, and it excels at the vintage AC30 tone. It also has a ton of headroom and works amazingly well as a pedal platform amplifier.
