Full Rig and Pedal-Amp DI - Vox AC15C1 - Keeley Time Machine Boost

I took a deep dive into pushing my Vox AC15C1’s Normal Channel with my Legendary Tones-Keeley Time Machine Boost’s treble booster mode. The amp was connected into my Eminence 1x12 cabinet with a Weber Ceramic Blue Dog, a Celestion Alnico Blue-inspired speaker. A noise reduction plugin like Bertom Denoiser Classic or Pro is necessary. The hiss from the cranked pedal into the cranked amp almost dissuaded me from sharing until I started using the Denoiser Pro plugin. Full Rig captures are labeled 'FR'. No IRs needed. Mic positions are as follows: Beyerdynamic M201 - 1” from cap center Sterling ST170 Ribbon - 1” from cap center, 2” back from grill Some comments about the settings: Time Machine Boost Humbuckers: 1966 Mode Single Coil: 1973 Mode Volume at 8: balance between gain and noise Volume at 10: what you will most likely try first AC15 Normal Channel Volume Volume at 6: Rory Gallagher-level gain Volume at 8: Brian May-level gain Volume at 10: pushing the amp to its limits My example video shows the two following settings: FR TMB-66 V-8 AC15C1 Nrm V-8 C-0 BD M201 xSTD.nam FR TMB-66 V-10 AC15C1 Nrm V-6 C-0 BD ST170 xSTD.nam Pedal+Amp Head Captures are also included for use with your favorite IRs. These captures are labeled 'DI'. These DI captures come in two versions: -Amp Output connected to Suhr Reactive Load, labeled SRL -Amp Output tapped by Suhr Reactive Load with Eminence 1x12 to Thru Jack, labeled BD The two flavors provide different speaker impedance responses, which can be used for different tonal flavors when combining with your preferred IR.

The Standard files should load in NAM hardware loaders. I recommend using the xSTD architecture if you can with these captures. The level of noise was so high, leading to some ugly ESR values. The xSTD training brought ESR back to down to values less than 0.01. Input/output calibration metadata for 11.5dBu was filled in during TONE3000 training.
