Description

TONE MATCH PATCHES, CAPTURES, AND PROFILES OF VINTAGE 1964 VOX AC30 TOP BOOST

For these presets, we have captured our vintage 1964 Vox AC30 Top Boost amplifier. 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 ’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.

We’ve captured both the Normal and Brilliant channels. The Brilliant channel is bright and has the classic Vox chime, and the normal channel is warmer.

We’ve captured the amp 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.

The pack includes 2 patches (each with SC and HB options). We’ve tone-matched both channels of this amplifier – the ‘Br’ patches are the Brilliant channel, and the ‘Nrm’ patches are the Normal channel.

  • 64 AC30 Br/Nr TM2 SC – These patches are meant for guitars with single coils.
  • 64 AC30 Br/Nr TM2 HB – These patches are meant for guitars with humbuckers.
  • NOTE: The HX Stomp, POD Go, and FM3 folders include ‘FX” patches. These patches include the additional effects blocks from the full Helix/AXE-FX III patches.

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 for all available channels (Brilliant and Normal). 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.

The demos above were created with the all-in-one presets included with this purchase. These presets utilize the amp captures, and no external effects were used – all QC effects blocks and captures.

QUAD CORTEX CAPTURES

For Quad Cortex, we have captured the amp through its entire gain range of the amp. 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 for all available channels (Brilliant and Normal). 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.

HEADRUSH PRIME (not compatible with other Headrush units)

For Headrush Prime, we’ve included both rigs (patches) and amp clone(s). The Amp Clone is from the Brilliant channel of the amp (our favorite), and we’ve built both a ‘SC’ and ‘HB’ rig around the amp clone.

Headrush Prime Signal Flow:

  1. Input
  2. Compressor
  3. Pitch
  4. Overdrives
  5. Volume
  6. Amp Clone
  7. Tremolo
  8. Chorus
  9. Delays: 1/8 delay, Dotted 8th delay, Dual stereo delay
  10. Reverbs: Subtle and Ambient
  11. Output

FOOTSWITCH CONFIGURATION

We’ve programmed the switches on the Headrush Prime to act like a traditional pedalboard. You’ll see individual effects mapped to the different buttons and labeled appropriately. If you’d like to make changes, the process is simple – the Headrush Prime manual provides great documentation if you’d like to create scenes or other button mapping.

  1. Armando Estrada (verified owner)

    Brian’s YouTube video of this beautiful sounding amp truly goes into detail of how special this unique amp is. I was blessed to get it on Black Friday! But I can definitely say with all my heart that this amp alone is worth the price of whatever modeler you’re using!

    I’m using ToneX Max on my iPhone and loaded this amp capture to use it live at our church worship. I’ve integrated an iPhone into my analog pedalboard paired with the Xtone Pro audio/midi interface to use the best of both worlds, digital amp captures with analog pedals!

    I’m so grateful to Brian and Bradford and the whole WT team! The first time I used this amp live at our Sunday worship service, the entire team was blown away how awesome the tone was. Not only were they amazed that I was not using my beloved FAS AX8, but my regular pedalboard with Analog pedals and an iPhone!, but they kept telling how awesome the tone was!

    I’m using the Bright Channel 3 capture which is edge of breakup and works perfectly with pedals!Tweaked the EQ in ToneX at the church , gave it a little more mids, removed Bass at 120hz and saved it as LIVE preset.

    This 1964 Vox AC30TB amp capture is totally awesome, cuts perfectly thru the mix live and I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed!

    Thank you WT!
