Description
TONE MATCH PATCHES, CAPTURES, AND PROFILES OF OUR MORGAN AC20 DELUXE
For these presets, we have captured our Morgan AC20 Deluxe. The result is 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 AC20 DLX is a high end boutique Vox AC30 inspired amp from Morgan. It features a 12ax7 channel and an EF86 channel. The 12ax7 channel is brighter and chimier, while the EF86 channel is thicker with more gain.
While this amp may be tonally related to an AC30, it sounds much more refined and polished to our ears. We think it’s a lot closer to a Matchless C-30, but it has it’s own voice and character. Our 1×12 cabinet has a Celestion Alnico Gold speaker, which is a great pairing for this amp.
We’ve tone-matched and captured the amp with a Royer 121 and Earthworks SR25 through a stereo Neve 1073 preamp.
LINE 6 HELIX, HX STOMP, POD Go PATCHES
The pack includes 2 patches (each with SC and HB options). We’ve tone-matched both channels of this amplifier – the ‘EF’ patches are the EF86 channel, and the ‘AX’ patches are the 12ax7 channel.
- MRGN AC20 AX/EF TMs– This patch uses the IR’s and is meant for guitars with single coils.
- MRGN AC20 AX/EF TMh – 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 patches.

The HX Stomp and POD Go presets cannot fit all the effects into a single patch.

Feel free to mix and match the additional ‘FX’ blocks into the main patches to suite your needs.

TONEX AMP CAPTURE PRESETS
For Tonex we have captured the amp through its entire gain range for all available channels (12ax7 and EF86). The Amp Model Presets are numbered – higher numbers mean more gain. The ‘Edge of Breakup’ settings that we like to use with a pedal board are usually the 2 and/or 3 capture.
HEADRUSH PRIME RIGS AND AMP CAPTURES
For Headrush Prime, we’ve included both rigs (patches) and amp clones based on both the 12ax7 and EF86 channels of the amp. We’ve delivered two sets of patches – one based on the 12ax7 channel and one based on the EF86 channel. Both sets of patches include SC and HB options.

BUTTON CONFIGURATION
We’ve programmed the buttons on the Headrush Prime to act like a traditional pedalboard. You’ll see individual effects mapped to the different buttons and labeled appropriately. If you’d like to make changes, the process is simple – the Headrush Prime manual provides great documentation if you’d like to create scenes or other button mapping.
KEMPER PROFILES & PERFORMANCES
Kemper we have profiled the amp through its entire gain range for all available channels (12ax7 and EF86). The profiles are numbered – higher numbers mean more gain. The ‘Edge of Breakup’ settings that we like to use with a pedal board are usually the 2 and/or 3 profile.
KEMPER PERFORMANCE
We’ve also included a fully featured Kemper performance with options for both single coils and humbuckers.
