Chameleon Audio - Vox AC30

Vox AC30 1x12" Combo The legendary British sound of the Vox AC30, known for its sparkling cleans, unmistakable upper-midrange chime, and harmonically rich overdrive. Powered by EL84 tubes, the AC30 delivers everything from jangly pop rhythms to singing, touch-sensitive rock tones. - Clean / Edge of Breakup: Bright, shimmering cleans and jangly chords. Think The Beatles, Tom Petty, and early R.E.M. - Crunch: Chimey, gritty British overdrive with excellent note definition. Think The Edge (U2), The Kinks, and Britpop. - Lead: Rich, singing sustain with distinctive midrange bite. Think Brian May (Queen) and Rory Gallagher. 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.
