TONE MATCH PATCHES, CAPTURES, AND PROFILES OF A BENSON MONARCH REVERB
For these patches, we’ve captured Benson Monarch Reverb. 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 Monarch from Benson is a smaller amp that sound incredibly good and has a lot of versatility. It features two different voices via a toggle switch – American and British, which are designed to get classic Fender and Vox tones.
We’ve captured the amp 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
Line 6 Patches available for Helix (floor, LT, and Native), HX Stomp (including Stomp XL), and POD Go.
This download includes patches for Helix, HX Stomp, and POD Go with options for both single coils and humbuckers. Please make sure to import the appropriate patch for your hardware – they are not interchangeable.
NOTE: The HX Stomp and POD Go folders include ‘FX” patches. These patches include the additional effects blocks from the full Helix patch.
3 PRESETS INCLUDED
We’ve included a set of presets based on each channel (the ‘US’ and ‘UK’ voices), as well as a set of presets with one instance of each channel in stereo.

BLOCK CHANNELS
For each effect block, we set up all four channels to give you as many options as possible for each individual effect types. For example, in the Compressor block, there are four different types of compression. For drives, we use all available channels in each drive block to get different overdrive flavors. Please experiment with the channels in all the different blocks to find your favorites. Typically we use our favorites in Channel A.
The exceptions to this are usually the amp and cab blocks – for those we usually only set up Channel A.

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.The tone model captures increase through the entire gain range of the amp for all available channels.
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
For Quad Cortex, we have captured the amp through its entire gain range of the amp. The captures increase through the entire gain range of the amp for all available channels.
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.
3 PRESETS INCLUDED
We’ve included a set of presets based on each channel (the ‘US’ and ‘UK’ voices), as well as a set of presets with one instance of each channel in stereo.
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:
- 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.
THE PROFILES
The profiles increase through the entire gain range of the amp for both voice options. We’ve included both SC and HB profiles, which were made separately with both single coil (tele) and humbucker (Les Paul) guitars. The American voicing are denoted with an ‘A’, and the British voicing are denoted with a ‘B’
PERFORMANCES
This pack includes two performances for each voicing of the amp – one dailed in for guitars with single coils and one for humbuckers.
We’ve set up these performances to use all five slots and all four effects buttons of the Kemper Remote/Stage with morph functions in all slots. Here are the slots and associated effects:
SLOT 1: CLEAN-ISH
This is your clean tone, but we set it up so that it breaks up on the bridge pickup, as long as your pickup has moderate output. Here are the effects in the different slots:
- EFFECTS 1: Tremolo (off by default)
- EFFECTS 2: Pure Booster (off by default – gives you a bit of drive)
- EFFECTS 3: Quarter Note Delay (off by default)
- EFFECTS 4: Dotted 8th Note Delay (on by default)
MORPH: Morphing will increase the wetness of both the reverb and delays. The reverb goes into a big ambient verb sound, and the delays increase in both level and feedback.
PROFILE USED: BNSN MNRCH A/B SC/HB 2
SLOT 2: DRIVE 1
This slot gives you two levels of overdrive. It’s default tone is a light to medium-light level of drive (depending on how hot your pickups are). Hit the boost, and you’ve got a bit more gain on tap. The overdrive in this slot is provided by the Kemper Drive effect.
- EFFECTS 1: Tremolo (off by default)
- EFFECTS 2: Pure Booster (off by default)
- EFFECTS 3: 8th Note Delay (off by default)
- EFFECTS 4: Dotted 8th Note Delay (on by default)
MORPH: Morphing will increase the wetness of both the reverb and delays. The reverb goes into a big ambient verb sound, and the delays increase in both level and feedback.
PROFILE USED: BNSN MNRCH A/B SC/HB 2
SLOT 3: DRIVE 2
This slot gives you two more levels of overdrive, both louder than the biggest setting in ‘Drive 1’. It’s default sound is a big rhythm drive tone. You can add more gain with the boost on Effects 2.
- EFFECTS 1: Tremolo (off by default)
- EFFECTS 2: Pure Booster (off by default)
- EFFECTS 3: 8th Note Delay (on by default)
- EFFECTS 4: Dotted 8th Note Delay (off by default)
MORPH: Morphing will increase the wetness of both the reverb and delays. The reverb goes into a big ambient verb sound, and the delays increase in both level and feedback.
PROFILE USED: BNSN MNRCH A/B SC/HB 4
SLOT 4: LEAD
For our Lead tone, we set up a big gain sound with a level boost above the biggest drive sound in ‘Drive 2’. You’re guitar will lift nicely in the mix. Here are the effects available via the effects buttons:
- EFFECTS 1: Analog Octaver (off by default) – this adds a subtle low octave that will add a lot of body to your leads.
- EFFECTS 2: Pure Booster (off by default)
- EFFECTS 3: Quarter Note Delay (on by default)
- EFFECTS 4: Dual Delay – 8th and dotted 8th (on by default)
MORPH: Morphing will increase the wetness of both the reverb and delays. The reverb goes into a big ambient verb sound, and the delays increase in both level and feedback.
PROFILE USED: BNSN MNRCH A/B SC/HB 4
SLOT 5: AMBI/SWELL
This slot can be used for volume swells or for super ambient playing (without swells). The delays and reverbs trail for a very long time – proceed with caution :).
- EFFECTS 1: Tremolo (off by default).
- EFFECTS 2: Pure Booster (off by default)
- EFFECTS 3: Crystal Delay (on by default) – this delay creates an awesome Shimmer reverb sound.
- EFFECTS 4: Dual Delay – 8th and dotted 8th (on by default)
MORPH: Morphing will increase the wetness of both the reverb and delays. The reverb morph adds more shimmer, and the delays increase in both level and feedback.
