TONE MATCH Gen2 PATCHES, CAPTURES, AND PROFILES OF A BAD CAT WILD CAT 40R
For these patches, we’ve captured a Bad Cat Wild Cat 40R amplifier. The result is a set of presets and captures that sound exactly like our amp, and the microphones, preamps, and EQ chains that we use to record it.
The Wild Cat is a two channel amplifier from Bad Cat that is capable of beautiful full-bodied chime-y cleans on channel one (12ax7) and huge driven tones on channel two (EF86). Channel one reminds us of everything we love about a great AC30 or Matchless C-30, and channel two can get into classic overdriven Marshall type tones. Together it makes for an extremely versatile amp capable of a wide variety of tones.
We’ve captured and tone-matched the amp through it’s 2×12 cab loaded using 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.
INDIVIDUAL UNIT DEAILS
PRESETS
The pack includes 2 sets of presets (each with SC and HB options) for Helix, HX Stomp, and POD Go. The presets are labeled ‘A’ and ‘B’, and feature different approaches to signal chain and amp channels.
- BadKat Wild A/B TM2 SC – These presets are designed for guitars with single coils
- BadKat Wild A/B TM2 HB – These presets are designed 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.
‘A’ PRESETS: The ‘A’’ presets feature the 12ax7 channel (clean) with two amp blocks set up in a stereo pair with all the wet effects feeding into the amps. Think of it like running a large stereo pedalboard into two amplifiers set on the ‘edge of breakup’.
‘B’ PRESETS: The ‘B’ presets feature the both the 12ax7 clean channel and the EF86 overdriven channel via two separate amp blocks. In the ‘B’ presets, the modulation, delay, and reverb effects are placed after the amplifier blocks, and we’ve given you a switch that toggles the two amp blocks on/off. This replicates the channel switching in the amp, and a studio setting where all the modulation, delay, and reverb effects are applied after the amplifier.
*POD GO Users: Because POD Go cannot utilize two amp blocks in a single preset, we’ve delivered one set of presets based on the 12ax7 channel, and another set based on the EF86 channel.
SIGNAL FLOW/EFFECTS
A PRESETS:
- Input
- Compressor
- Drives
- Volume
- Modulation
- Delay
- Reverb
- Amps
- IRs
- Output
B PRESETS:
- Input
- Compressor
- Drives

The HX Stomp and POD Go presets have limited effects. POD Go’s signal chain is much more limited, so the delays, reverbs, and modulation are placed after the amp block.

TONEX AMP CAPTURE PRESETS – Compatible with the Tonex/Amplitube Software and the TONEX pedals
The tone model captures increase through the entire gain range of the amp. We’ve delivered 8 total tone model presets: three from the 12ax7 channel and five from the EF86 channel.
The Tone Model presets are numbered, and the number corresponds to the level of gain in the tone model. Lower numbers equal lower gain, and higher numbers equal higher gain. Typically a ‘2’ or ‘3’ is the ‘edge of breakup’, and is the perfect option to use with pedals.
QUAD CORTEX CAPTURES
The captures increase through the entire gain range of the amp. We’ve delivered 8 total captures: three from the 12ax7 channel and five from the EF86 channel.
The captures are numbered, and the number corresponds to the level of gain in the tone model. Lower numbers equal lower gain, and higher numbers equal higher gain. Typically a ‘2’ or ‘3’ is the ‘edge of breakup’, and is the perfect option to use with pedals.
ALL-IN-ONE PRESETS
- BadKat Wild A/B TM2 SC – These presets are designed for guitars with single coils
- BadKat Wild A/B TM2 HB – These presets are designed for guitars with humbuckers
‘A’ PRESETS: The ‘A’’ presets feature the 12ax7 channel (clean) with two amp capture blocks set up in a stereo pair with all the wet effects feeding into the amps. Think of it like running a large stereo pedalboard into two amplifiers set on the ‘edge of breakup’.
‘B’ PRESETS: The ‘B’ presets feature the both the 12ax7 clean channel and the EF86 overdriven channel via two separate amp capture blocks. In the ‘B’ presets, the modulation, delay, and reverb effects are placed after the amplifier blocks, and we’ve given you a switch that toggles the two amp blocks on/off. This replicates the channel switching in the amp, and a studio setting where all the modulation, delay, and reverb effects are applied after the amplifier.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
PRESETS
The pack includes 2 sets of presets (each with SC and HB options) for Axe-FX III, FM3, and FM9.. The presets are labeled ‘A’ and ‘B’, and feature different approaches to signal chain and amp channels.
- BadKat Wild A/B TM2 SC – These presets are designed for guitars with single coils
- BadKat Wild A/B TM2 HB – These presets are designed for guitars with humbuckers
‘A’ PRESETS: The ‘A’’ presets feature the 12ax7 channel (clean) with two amp blocks set up in a stereo pair with all the wet effects feeding into the amps. Think of it like running a large stereo pedalboard into two amplifiers set on the ‘edge of breakup’.
‘B’ PRESETS: The ‘B’ presets feature the both the 12ax7 clean channel and the EF86 overdriven channel via two separate channels of the amp block. In the ‘B’ presets, the modulation, delay, and reverb effects are placed after the amplifier blocks, and we’ve given you a switch that toggles the two amp channels. This replicates the channel switching in the amp, and a studio setting where all the modulation, delay, and reverb effects are applied after the amplifier.
NOTE: The FM3 folder includes an ‘FX” patch. This patch includes the additional effects blocks from the full Axe-FX and FM9 patches. Feel free to substitute any of these effects blocks into the main patch to suite your needs. FM3 only includes one set of presets because the unit cannot run dual amp blocks.

The FM3 presets cannot fit all the effects into a single patch. For that platform, we include the amp and essential effects in the main presets, and then we include the additional effects blocks in the ‘FX’ preset. Feel free to mix and match the additional ‘FX’ blocks into the main patches to suite your needs.
