TONE MATCH PATCHES, CAPTURES, AND PROFILES OF OUR VINTAGE ’67 F-type VBLX

For these patches, we’ve captured our vintage 1967 F-type VBLX. The result is a set of presets and captures that sound exactly like our amp, and the microphones, preamps, and EQ chains that we use to record it.

The VBLX is an iconic amplifier in F-type history. Ours is a ‘black panel’ from 1967. It’s a 2×10 combo with vintage Oxford speakers. At 40 watts, the VBLX excels at glassy F-type cleans, but it sounds fantastic turned up and overdriven. To our ears, the VBLX has more mids than a DLX, and it sounds especially good when overdriven. It stays tight and refined when pushed, either by turning the amp up or when using drive pedals.

We’ve captured and tone-matched the amp using a Royer 121 and Earthworks SR25 through a Neve 1073 DPX stereo preamp.

TONE MATCH PRESETS (Applies to Line 6 and Fractal presets)

These are part of our ‘Tone Match’ line of patches. To create these patches, we make custom IR’s that ‘match’ the HX and Fractal amp models to our real-world amp. The result is the Line 6 and Fractal units sound almost exactly like our actual amplifiers.

LINE 6 STADIUM (PROXY)

For Stadium and Stadium XL, we’ve cloned the amp using Proxy. The Stadium downloads include both presets and a full set of Proxy clones.

PRESETS INFO

(Applies to Line 6 HX, Fractal, Quad Cortex)

The pack includes fully featured presets designed for both single coil and humbucker equipped guitars.

SNAPSHOTS/SCENES

Our presets include Snapshots for instant access to a wide variety of tones, including clean sounds, ambient tones, driven, lead, and high gain sounds, and modulated tones.

NOTES:

• The HX Stomp, POD Go, and FM3 folders include ‘FX” presets. These presets include the additional effects blocks from the full Helix/Axe-FX versions. Because these units have signal flow and DSP limitations, they are not as fully featured as the flagship units.
• The HX Stomp presets do not include Snapshots.
• Headrush presets include an amp clone

CAPTURES & PROFILES

(Applies to Stadium/Proxy, TONEX, Quad Cortex, and Kemper units)

The captures increase through the entire gain range of the amp for both the Normal and Vibrato channels.

The captures are numbered, and the number corresponds to the level of gain in the tone model. Lower numbers equal lower gain, and higher numbers equal higher gain. Typically a ‘2’ or ‘3’ is the ‘edge of breakup’, and is the perfect option to use with pedals

Line 6 Stadium/Proxy

Proxy includes a total of 18 clones. 9 clones are amp+cab through the Vibrolux 2×10 cab/speakers, and 9 clones are direct (amp only)

TONEX

All TONEX captures are V2. TONEX includes a total of 18 clones. 9 clones are amp+cab through the Vibrolux 2×10 cab/speakers, and 9 clones are direct (amp only)

Quad Cortex/Kemper

QC and Kemper are both V1 captures, and include a total of 9 captures (amp and cab only)

QUAD/NANO CORTEX – HOW DO YOU GET THE CAPTURES?

When you place your order, we will need to manually send you the captures through the ‘Cortex Cloud’ app by Neural DSP, available for both iOS and Android devices. First, you need to have the app installed and you must have an account through the app (go here to create an account and access the app).

This is how we will send you the captures:

1. Please include your Cortex Cloud app username in the ‘Notes’ field when checking out. If you do not include this, we cannot send you the captures. After we receive your order, we (SignalTheory) will follow you on the app.
2. Follow ‘SignalTheory’ on the Cortex Cloud app. This will make us ‘friends’ through the app :). If you are not following us, we cannot send you the captures.
3. After we receive your order, and we ‘Friends’ on the app, we will send you the captures through the app. We bundle the captures into presets, so you will receive one (or more) presets that include all the captures. You will find the captures in the ‘Shared with me’ section on your Quad Cortex.
4. Please allow up to 5 business days for us to send you the captures. Most orders will be fulfilled within two business days or less. This fulfillment process must happen manually – we will do our best to get you the files quickly. Once the NDSP marketplace opens, this process may change.
