Description
Captured the punchy, modern high-gain sound of the CAA 3+ SE Channel 3, powered by a VHT G-2562-S/PB Black Beauty and boosted with a BOSS SD-1. Famous among pro session guitarists throughout the ‘90s, the CAA 3+ SE preamp delivers a uniquely rich drive—combining juicy compression with exceptional clarity and cut. I have personally used this setup on numerous studio recordings and live gigs. This profile captures its signature tone: a thick, elastic low end; harmonically rich upper mids; and a wide, open frequency range—perfect for expressive riffs and soaring leads. Captured using the highly regarded TTS input v10.wav as the dry reference, ensuring balanced and consistent NAM results.
