Description
TONE MATCH PATCHES, CAPTURES, AND PROFILES OF OUR DR. Z Z WRECK
For these presets, we have captured our Dr. Z Z Wreck. 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 Z-Wreck is a collaboration between Dr. Z, Ken Fischer (of Trainwreck Amps), and Brad Paisley. Together, they created the Z-Wreck in an effort to capture the tone of Brad Paisley’s vintage ’63 AC30. The Z-Wreck is a single channel, 30-watt EL84 amplifier, and it excels at the vintage AC30 tone. It also has a ton of headroom and works amazingly well as a pedal platform amplifier.
Our is a head/cab combo. The cabinet is loaded with a Celestion Alnico Gold and Alnico Blue. We’ve tone-matched the mic’d cabinet with a Royer 121 and Earthworks SR25 through a stereo Neve 1073 preamp.

TONEX AMP CAPTURE PRESETS

KEMPER PROFILES & PERFORMANCES
We have captured the amp through its entire gain range. 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.

We’ve also included a fully featured Kemper performance with options for both single coils and humbuckers.

FOOTSWITCH CONFIGURATION
We’ve programmed the switches 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.
