Amp Models and Effects

This section describes characteristics of each amp model and effect.

AMP model

BTQ CLEAN
This models the clean channel of a high-quality amp that was produced
only on special order, and was known as the overdrive special. With a
beautifully rounded low range, a sharp midrange attack, and a sweet
treble register, this is ideal for single coil pickups.
BLACK 2x12
This models a black-faced 2x12" combo amp that has become an indis-
pensible item for country and blues players. Its tight and clean sound
provides deep piano-like bass tones, and will deliver the classic Chicago
blues tone particularly when used with single coil pickups.
TWEED 4x10
This models a 4x10" combo amp from 1959 that was originally designed
for bass guitar. Its smooth and crisp overdrive sound will respond sen-
sitively to your picking dynamics and to the volume of your guitar.
AC15
This models channel 2 of the VOX AC15 (1x12", 15W), which was manu-
factured in 1962 and was a big hit for its compact cabinet, power, and
great tone – along with then-popular British bands.
AC30TB
This models an AC30 amp with the "top boost" circuit that was included
as standard starting with units produced in 1964. It delivers a smooth
and refined top end, majestically deep overdrive, and a rich and bril-
liant clean sound.
UK '70S
This models the high treble channel of a hand-wired amp head made in
England during the early 60's. Raising the volume of this 50W output
amp all the way produces the crunch that will forever be the sound of
rock 'n' roll.
8
UK '80S
This models a UK-manufactured 100W single-channel head with master
volume made in 1983. Turn the GAIN control all the way up to get that
thick, snarling hard rock and heavy metal sound that dominated the 80's.
UK '90S
This models the high-gain channel of a modern 100W amp. While indi-
vidual notes are clearly defined, it delivers a monster sound that's quite
aggressive and arrogant.
CALI METAL
This models the modern high-gain channel from a wild beast of a high-
gain amp. Its deep and loose low-end, sparkling highs, and monstrous
gain are ideal for guitars tuned as low as possible, or for metal acts
wielding seven-string guitars.
US HIGAIN
This models the overdrive channel of a snakeskin-covered 100W amp
head made in 1991. With an open low-end and a compressed mid/high
range, its powerful and heavy sound delivers a forceful tone that will
not break down even with the most extreme gain settings.
LINE
This model features two-band tone controls that create a pure clean tone
with no distortion. Use the GAIN knob to adjust the volume level for
the low range, and the TONE knob for the high range.
