A. AMP Models

15. US MODERN

This is based on the “Modern High Gain” channel of a 100 Watt, head from California. Its deep, dark, loose low-end, some what “ﬁzzy” top and

Monster-like gain has made this amp a mainstay for many modern, acts. At low GAIN settings, it produces a distinctive, bright clean sound bol-

stered by some rich, upper harmonics that add fullness and dimension.

Original’s tube compliment:

5 x 12AX7s in the preamp, 2 x 5U4G rectiﬁer tubes, 4 x 6L6s in the power amp.

16. US HIGAIN

This is based on the Overdrive Channel of an all-tube, 100 Watt snakeskin head. US HIGAIN is capable of a powerful, heavily saturated sound that

combines an open low-end with compressed mids and highs. The result is a tone that remains focused and well deﬁned at even the most extreme

gain settings.

Original’s tube compliment:

4 x 12AX7s in the preamp, 4 x 6L6s in the power amp.

17. UK MODERN2

This model is based on a 100-watt UK-made head made in 1996 for a famous lead guitarist known for his incredible tone, slashing rhythms and a

penchant for top hats. This all-tube amp’s footswitchable “Lead Master” control effectively made this a two-channel ampliﬁer. This amp also fea-

tured a push/pull function on the input gain control which, when pulled out, injects a distorted edge to the amp's rhythm tone. If you have an

appetite for great metal lead and rhythm tones, this is a great choice for you!

Original tube complement:

3 x 12AX7, 4 x EL34

18. BOUTIQUE METAL

The original amp we modeled for this devastating hi-gain sound is a German-made 4-channel head that churns out 100 watts of mayhem. This

head features four individual preamps, each with individual EQ and gain/volume controls. For our model, we chose the “Heavy” channel for its

incredible tightness when playing drop-D (and lower) metal.

Original tube complement:

7 x 12AX7, 4 x 6L6

19. MODDED OD

This model captures the sound of a 100-watt boutique head made in North Hollywood, CA. This amp head is available in EL34 and 6L6-powered

versions. For our model, we chose the 6L6 and modeled “Channel 2.” This ampliﬁer has the ability to be switched between Class A/B and Class A

modes. For our model, we selected Class A/B operation for its rich harmonic response and musical response.

Original tube complement:

6 x 12AX7, 4 x 6L6
