Chameleon Audio - Mark V 25 + Pedals

Eight distinctive stompboxes meet the Mesa Boogie Mark V 25, captured as a pedal platform for medium- to high-gain tones. - Overdrive / Crunch: Responsive drive, punchy chords, and expressive lead tones. The ThorpyFX Gunshot, Maxon OD9, and OCD cover everything from focused midrange bite to broad, muscular crunch. - Distortion / High Gain: Gritty rhythms, aggressive power chords, and singing sustain. The JHS Packrat and Marshall Guv’nor bring distinct flavours of distortion, from ragged snarl to classic British rock punch. - Fuzz / Sustain: Huge riffs, saturated textures, and soaring leads. The EHX Big Muff Pi, Blackout Musket, and rare, original handwired JHS Ram’s Head explore three shades of fuzz—from thick and enveloping to cutting and articulate. 1. ThorpyFX Gunshot 2. Maxon OD9 3. OCD 4. JHS Packrat 5. Marshall Guv’nor 6. EHX Big Muff Pi 7. Blackout Musket 8. JHS Ram’s Head (rare, handwired version) Capture chain: MW1 Creation Tool -> Amp -> TwoNotes Reload II -> UA Apollo Calibrated captures, with values noted in the NAM metadata **NAMING CONVENTION** make_model_inspiration_gainlevel_capturevariant e.g. BOGNER_SHIVA_JCM_MED_ZALT.nam make = Bogner model = Shiva inspiration = tones inspired by a Marshall JCM 2203/2204 gain = med (or high or low) capturevariant = standard | high z (brighter pickups) | hotin (hotter pickups) For most combos, there was a lower push and then a 'more' of the pedal providing most/all of the gain. **HOW TO USE** 1/ Plug your guitar into your interface’s Instrument/Hi-Z input and keep the interface gain all the way down. 2/ In the official NAM plug-in, NAM Settings page: - turn Calibrate Input ON - enter your audio interface’s Maximum Instrument Input Level from its manual (you can Google this) - select Normalized output. Don’t enter the capture value from Tone3000 - the NAM already contains it. 3/ In the NAM main page: Leave Input and Output at 0 dB. Turn EQ and Noise Gate off initially to hear the raw capture. Later you can enable them and season to taste. 4/ Because these are amp captures only, you must obtain and load a compatible cabinet IR. IMPORTANT: If you increase your interface gain, return to NAM’s Input Level setting and subtract the same amount. For example, if your interface is rated at +12 dBu and you add 5 dB of interface gain (on your hardware, you turned up the gain on the signal coming from your guitar by 5 db), enter +7 dBu in NAM.
