OUR FENDER THE EDGE DELUXE, NOW IN YOUR LINE 6 HARDWARE

For these patches, we tone-matched a stock HX amp model to our Fender ‘The Edge’ Deluxe. The result is an Impulse Response that completely transforms the HX amp model, making the Line 6 hardware sound exactly like our amp, and the microphones, preamps, and EQ chains that we use to record it.

The ‘Edge’ Deluxe from Fender is a signature amp for The Edge from U2. While Edge is known for playing an AC30, a vintage 5E3 Deluxe has always been part of his secret tone recipe. 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. If you love vintage Fender tone, you’ll love The Edge’s take on the Deluxe.

The cabinet is loaded with a Celestion Alnico Blue. We’ve tone-matched the mic’d cabinet with a Royer 121 and Earthworks SR25 through a stereo Neve 1073 preamp.

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.
