Description

Resonance: 1 Presence: 6 Signal chain: DAW -> Scarlett 8i6 Gen 1 -> Radial Reamp HP -> Amp -> Two Notes Torpedo Captor 16ohm -> Scarlett 8i6 -> DAW Tones shaped on the amp using a PRS CE24 on the bridge pickup and using an Orange 212OB in the room. Processed via colab with 1000 epochs. Includes metadata I find most captures sound like they're too low-mid focused because people are afraid to crank their amps. This has been my main amp for almost 10 years and I know it well. On both the Blue and Red channels, the amp tends to get spongy and loose once you start cranking the volume past 7, so if you dial it back to 6, it stays tight and focused while engaging the power amp enough to add in power tube clipping, giving the amp a really good "chunk" when palm muting. The Blue channel settings are dialed for a blistering and thick rhythm tone, though it can easily pass as a lead tone given how saturated it is. With the mids at 5 and the highs at 6, the amp doesn't have the darkness that you hear in a lot of tones dialed with this amp. Don't let the weak guitar signal here on Tone3000 fool you into thinking there's not enough oomph on this capture. Download it for yourself to try it out and you'll see that there's plenty of gain in this patch. With the Resonance at 1, the amp doesn't have a loose and boomy bottom end and again, it doesn't have the darkness to the sound. Having the Presence at 6 keeps the amp bright. Pair these tones with your favourite cab IR and enjoy.
