Chameleon Audio - Mesa Roadking

Mesa/Boogie Road King Series I Head The ultimate evolution of Mesa's Rectifier family, combining massive American high-gain tones with surprising versatility. Its four channels and switchable 6L6/EL34 power-tube configurations deliver everything from warm cleans and British-inspired crunch to the thunderous, saturated distortion that defined an era of heavy rock. - Clean / Edge of Breakup: Full-bodied American cleans, warm blues breakup, and vintage-inspired tones. - Crunch: Thick, aggressive rock rhythms with a muscular low end. Think Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, and '90s alternative rock. - High Gain: Huge, saturated Rectifier distortion with deep bass and aggressive attack. Think nu-metal, post-grunge, and bands like Korn, Linkin Park, and Creed. 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) It's subtle, but you can use the capture variant to best match your rig, e.g. if you are using active pickups pick hotin vs vintage you’ll probably prefer std or lowin **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. Want to skip the calibration, IR matching, and technical setup? Chameleon Player handles it for you, so you can load a tone and start playing.
