A. AMP Models
Which amps did we painstakingly model for our exquisite selection of 19? Believe us when we say it wasn’t easy ‘cos, as I’m sure you know, there’s
a plethora of great sounding amps out there. After countless hours of soul searching, earnest discussions, calls to tone-wise friends (some profes-
sional players, some not...but all blessed with great ears) plus, of course, listening and playing, a top 19 list was finally drawn up. As you’re about
to discover, the ones we went with are not only the cream of the crop but also offer up the widest possible array of the greatest guitar tones known
to man — from pristine clean to outrageous overdrive and all points in-between. First though, some stuff you should know...
Controlling Factors
As already touched on in this manual, although the amp model of your JamVOX houses controls for GAIN, VR GAIN, TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS,
PRESENCE and OUTPUT, not all of the amps we’ve modelled have as many controls. In such cases, rather than leave you with knobs that do noth-
ing (what on earth would be the point of that!?), we’ve made full use of all seven (7) JamVOX controls without compromising the accuracy of any of
our models. This means you’ll be able to mimic the full tonal spectrum of each and every one of the originals we’ve modelled...and then some,
thanks to the extra flexibility and additional control the seven JamVOX controls give you.
For example, if an original amp doesn’t have a complete 3 band EQ network then we’ll set up the “missing” tone controls on our model to be “neu-
tral” (i.e. as the original) when set at 12 o’clock — thus giving you extra tonal flexibility in those EQ areas, if you so wish. Just so you know, the
amps we modelled that don’t have individual controls for Treble, Middle and Bass are:
Also, as you’d probably expect, we do the same exact thing with the JamVOX’s PRESENCE control too — namely, if one isn’t present (bad pun, not
intended!) on the original then PRESENCE will be an added control on our model. This time though, the “neutral” position is when the control is
all the way off (turned fully counterclockwise). The two models this applies to are BLACK 2x12 and TWEED 1x12.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
As you’ll discover when you read their descriptions, in the case of the AC15, AC15TB, AC30 and AC30TB models, we’ve utilized the PRES-
ENCE control to mimic the TOP CUT control — whether it was present on the original or not.
