TONE MATCH PATCHES, CAPTURES, AND PROFILES OUR MATCHLESS LAUREL CANYON

For these patches, we’ve captured a our Matchless Laurel Canyon. 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 Laurel Canyon is the first 6v6 amp from Matchless. You could think of it as Matchless’s take on a Princeton or Deluxe, but with a very ‘Matchless’ top end (read: chime and clarity).

We’ve captured and tone-matched the amp through it’s Matchless/Celestion G12H Heritage speaker using a Royer 121 and Earthworks SR25 through a Neve 1073 DPX stereo 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.

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.
