MSA Angel – Tone Match Gen2 Presets and Captures

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 for all available channels (6v6, EL84, and Linked).

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 for all available channels (6v6, EL84, and Linked).

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

• MSA Angel A SC/HB – This preset template places all the wet FX in front of the stereo amp blocks
• MSA Angel B SC/HB – This preset template places all the wet FX after the stereo amp blocks

Also included are two gig-ready (Sunday morning ready, to be more precise) all in one presets utilizing captures of these amps as well as some of our drive pedals. We’ve included different presets to let you experiment with signal chain – wet effects in front of amps or after amps. You can use these presets in both Scene and Stomp mode, and they cover a ton of sonic territory. Simply copy and paste the amp blocks from the channel you’d like to use into each preset.

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

Fractal Presets available for Axe-FX III, FM9, and FM3

This download includes patches for Axe-FX III and FM9 with options for both single coils and humbuckers. Please make sure to import the appropriate patch for your hardware – they are not interchangeable.

PRESET TEMPLATES

We’ve included two main presets that act as templates for the stereo amp/IR pairs:

• Match HC30 Template A – This preset template places all the wet FX in front of the stereo amp blocks
• Match HC30 Template B  – This preset template places all the wet FX after the stereo amp blocks

NOTE: Please use the presets in the appropriate folder – Axe-FX III and FM9 presets are not interchangeable. FM3 does not include both templates, since it only has one amp block. We’ve delivered separate presets for FM3 for each amp channel.

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.
