New 2020 Pack includes:

RIGS:
13 LDW – This is the same amp that had a couple of profiles in my original Pack 1. It
didn’t belong to me at the time, but it bounced around Nashville a bit and I was able to
get my hands on it. It is truly a special amp and one of my all time favorites. It’s got
qualities of Marshall and Hiwatt with some of Fred’s signature low end. I prefer the
cleaner tones because they’re so muscular and clear.

3P Am Dream – Like apple pie and fireworks, this amp captures some of the classic CA
black and brown tones, but with a more refined character. It’s no secret that I’m really
partial to these amps. It takes pedals like a champ and the clean tones are perfect for
everything from country to blues to rock.

3P Brit Dream – Fish & Chips or Bangers & Mash? AC or Plexi? Or both! Again, with a
refined quality that is both rich and even.
57 Deluxe – While I’m still on the lookout for a straight vintage tweed deluxe, this
handwired model is pretty sweet. It isn’t the most versatile of amps, but what it does is
really nice. The full frequency goodness and compressed gain is another one of my
favorites.

63 Vibroverb RI – I am not afraid to admit that I’m a huge Jeff Lynne fan and saw his
ELO tour in 2019 and it was one of the best sounding concerts I’ve ever seen. This led
me down a path to figure out what gear everyone was using and finding out that his
favorite amp is the 63 Vibroverb. While not able to get my hands on a vintage one, I did
pick up this reissue and it is a great example of the brownface tone. This is one of my
favorite amps to play with a pedalboard.

67 Pro Reverb – I found this vintage blackface amp locally in Nashville a year or two
ago and it’s become another one of my favorite amps to use with a pedalboard. The
blackface circuit takes pedals so well and is the sound that we’ve heard on countless
recordings over the years. It can cover everything from country to blues and is a bit
smoother and less scooped than its big brother, the twin reverb.

68 Mars Plexi 50w – I’m not sure how I got lucky enough to own this amp, but this is
one of my holy grail amps. This particular amp belonged to and was used on the road
by none other than Eric Johnson as recently as 2018 as you can see this exact amp in
his rig rundown from that year. I’ve played a handful of other plexi amps and many
wannabes over the years, but this is by far the best sounding one I’ve ever played. The
clean sound is great and the transition into overdrive is gradual and smooth. The actual
plexi circuit isn’t really high gain, but it sounds great goosed with an overdrive pedal in
front too, whether clean or overdriven. I hope to hang on to this one for a long time.
Truly special amp.

72 Mars 50w – I’ve had this amp for a long time now and it was nearly lost in the 2010
Nashville flood, but Dylana from 3rd Power rebuilt it and gave it a new lease on life. A
bit gainier than the plexi and more angry sounding, this amp has been a staple of mine
and I’ve profiled it so many times. Some were in Pack 1 but these are all new profiles
as I’m always trying to “beat” what I already have. Great lead sounds with this amp.
Boggy Metro – Back when Lonestar was at or near its peak in the late 90’s, my main
amp was a Bogner Metropolis head and I had fond memories of that amp. I eventually
sold it to get a Matchless HC30 but I’ve been wanting to get profiles of one for a while
and finally found one. It’s unlike most of Bogner’s other offerings, in that it’s more of a
Vox style amp but with unique features like the Schizo switch, which has 5 unique
voicings. It cuts through a mix and is a great amp for layering parts or for spanky fast
stuff. Naming includes which input (X-lo, Y-hi) as well as schizo position 1-5, so X1 is lo
input/schizo 1 position, etc.

CA OD100 – One of the earlier, Pre-Suhr models that is known for its over the top gain
and thick bottom. It’s not always my cup of tea, but every now and then I need an over-
the-top rock tone and these amps are awesome for that.

CA Tripper – I actually got this amp in trade and kept it for a bit. I found that it sounded
better in my room than the profiles at first but I think I still got some good ones out of it.
3 Channel amps are so tough to get all voiced well, but this one did a pretty nice job of
it.

Mars 800R – This is a vintage 80’s 800 that was covered in red tolex (thus the R). I’ve
profiled other 800 amps before but this has been my favorite. It excels at the 80’s rock
thing.

Match Club Man – With a different tonality than the classic SC30 amps, the Club Man
uses EL34 tubes that have a different girth than the aforementioned EL84 tones in the
SC30. I’m not as big a fan of the way it overdrives but it’s got a nice clean and edge of
breakup sound.

T Hat Royalty – I love a good AC30 but always feel like there’s something missing for
the style of music I play, but I don’t know what it is. When I stumbled into this amp, I
was floored. This is my favorite AC amp I’ve played. That is not to say that it’s better
than a vintage AC30 but it is a tad less bright (overall) and it’s got a cool “clean” switch
that you can assign to either channel. The left (vol/tone) channel is my fave on the
clean setting. The right channel sounds a bit more like a typical AC30 to me. Both
sides take pedals well and it’s built like a tank.

Too Rocky Classic Reverb Sig – This may be my favorite of the D-type boutique
amps. It has the smooth drive of the real thing but seems even smoother to me. While
not one of my personal amps, these profiles are some of my favorites.
Wrekt DLM – This is a rare monster. A dirty little monster. The oversaturated, full
range, wood-cabineted monster that is almost as rare as the one from Loch Ness. It’s a
one trick pony, but a fun trick.

PERFORMANCES:
Not knowing exactly what songs users will be playing makes it a little daunting to
program fx and so forth, so feel free to add your own touches, but there are some basic
starting points here. Some performances stay within the same amp realm for tonally
seamless switching, while others are just a kind of hodge podge of tones that might
work on their own for certain things. If a morph setting is programmed, I tried to use the
title to show what the two state represent.
3P Country – Just a basic group of tones that would work for most classic to modern
country tones.

1 – Clean/Chorus – basic clean sound with chorus added on morph
2 – Clean/Trem – clean tone with trem added on morph
3 – Clean/Push – clean with a bit of grit added on morph.
4 – Crunch/More – a bit of overdrive for some modern country rhythm
5 – Solo/Bigger – a nice lead tone for modern country songs
Basic Fender – This performance highlights the Fender amp tones available in this
pack, from brownface and blackface to thick tweed overdrive.
1 – Nice n Clean – great blackface clean tone for a great starting point
2 – Lite Crunch – brownface VibroV with a touch of gain, morph has screamer
3 – Crunchy – tweedy overdriven rhythm tone that works great for many styles
4 – Overdriven – one of my favorite blackface with k-type overdrive pedal
5 – Cranked – “the”chewy overdrive deluxe tone for solos
Britt Basic – I always keep a “britt basic” performance as my first performance on my
Kemper, so if I’m doing songs that I don’t have specific performances programmed for, I
can use this performance for most songs. This has some of my favorite tones in it.
1 – LDW 3 – this 13 amp has a unique muscular clean that I love, ts on morph
2 – LDW 3 – same clean amp but with some fx for a rich ballad tone
3 – 3P AD Black 4R – great bf tone with more gain on morph
4 – 68 Mars 1 8T – plexi overdrive with some boost added on morph
5 – 68 Mars 1 9 – plexi solo tone
Classic Rock – This performance is predominantly Mars based because that is the
tone of classic rock imo. From the gorgeous plexi clean to plexi drive to metalfront lead
tones.
1 – Clean/Vibrato – nice basic mars clean with vibrato on morph
2 – Light Crunch/More – slight bit of plexi gain for country/rock w/scream morph
3 – Med Crunch/Rotary – plexi overdrive with a bit of rotary on morph
4 – Plexi Drive – all the gooey goodness plexis are known for
5 – Mars Solo – more gain from the 72 mars with delay, more gain on morph
EL84 Basic – For those who like to live on the AC side of things tone-wise. The way
EL84s break up is really nice. This is a perfomance of AC style amps that cover
everything from clean to leads.
1 – Cln Chorus – metro amp with some chorus
2 – Dry Vox – relatively dry AC style amp for alt rock or whatever
3 – Crunch Rhythm – great low gain sound for any occasion

4 – Mo Crunchy – similar to 3 but a little thicker, for rhythm or leads
5 – AC Solo – Solo tone for over the top AC sound
Inspired – This is a collection of tones for when you’re just looking for a sound, whether
it’s something song-specific or just to be inspired to play a bit.
1 – Bond 007 Trem – clean, lots of verb, trem... great for Bond Theme
2 – Lush Swell – I get lost in this often. Use exp pedal to swell into notes/chords
3 – Another Brick Delay – dotted 8th delay for Floyd, use it on other stuff too
4 – VH Dancing – more delay goodness, a la Dancing in the Street
5 – The Look 12 str – the strident Roxette sound, turn pitch off/on for 12 string
Variety – This is a random collection of tones that are more style specific than song
specific.
1 – Funky/Warm – funk rhythm to warm jazz with morph
2 – Songwriter/Big – modern songwriter pop to lush fx on morph
3 – Brit EoB/Grungy – alt british edge-of-breakup to grungy semi-punk
4 – Crunch/Rock – classic rock to fusion rock breakup
5 – Big Solo/Wetter – hair band solo tone to 80’s anthem rock solo

PRESETS:

Analog Tape 1 – basic analog tape Delay
Analog Tape 2 – another variation of the tape Delay sound
Big 80’s Comp – lots of compression for 80’s sound

Rabin 5ths – straight chromatic 5th Pitch Shifter for Owners of Lonely Hearts

Scream Big – one of my fave Screamer stomp settings, adjust to taste
Scream Crunch – lighter gain Screamer stomp
Scream Push – this Screamer stomp is nice to push a clean amp into edge of breakup
Trem 007 – Bond trem
Trem Basic – my basic go-to tremolo setting
Trem Dukt – love the ducking trem, play hard and it’s not there, play soft and TREM!
