’65 Prince TM – Line 6 HX Tone Match Patches (Helix, HX Stomp, POD Go)

PATCHES

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.

The pack includes 2 patches (each with SC and HB options). For the ‘A’ patches, we tone matched the amp using an Alessandro/Eminence 10” GA64 speaker. For the ‘O’ patches, we tone matched the amp through a vintage 60’s 10” Oxford speaker. The ‘A’ patches are a bit brighter and more scooped.

• 65 Prince A/O TM WT S – This patch uses the IR’s and is meant for guitars with single coils.
• 65 Prince A/O TM WT H – This patch uses the IR’s and is meant for guitars with humbuckers.
• NOTE: The HX Stomp and POD Go folders include ‘FX” patches. These patches include the additional effects blocks from the full Helix patch.
  

OUR VINTAGE 1965 FENDER PRINCETON, NOW IN YOUR LINE 6 HARDWARE

For these patches, we tone-matched the stock HX amp models to our vintage 1965 Fender Princeton (non-reverb). The result is a set of Impulse Responses that completely transform the HX amp models, making the Line 6 hardware sound exactly like our amp, and the microphones, preamps, and EQ chains that we use to record it.

This is a pristine example of a vintage ’65 black-panel non-reverb Princeton. The non-reverb Princeton’s have quite a different gain stage than the Princeton Reverbs. The Reverb circuit adds a gain stage which makes them break up a lot sooner. The non-reverb Princeton’s stay clean much longer. They have a slightly different tonal response, too.

Our amp has a 10” Alessandro/Eminence GA64 speaker, which is voiced like the vintage 60’s speakers used in these combos. We also tone-matched the amp through a vintage 60’s 10” Oxford speaker.

The HX Stomp and POD Go patches cannot fit all the effects into a single patch. For those platforms, we include the amp and essential effects in the main patches, and then we include the additional effects blocks in the ‘FX’ patches. Feel free to mix and match the additional ‘FX’ blocks into the main patches to suite your needs.
