This demo features the Line 6 HX patches. Scroll down to hear demos for each individual unit.
TONE MATCH PATCHES, CAPTURES, AND PROFILES OF OUR KORG ERA VOX AC30/6 TOP BOOST

For these presets, we have captured our Vox AC30/6 Top Boost (Korg era). The result is set of presets and captures that sound exactly like our amp, and the microphones, preamps, and EQ chains that we use to record it.
This is one of the sought-after ‘Korg Era’ AC30’s, made in England. Ours features an original Celestion Alnico Blue speaker as well as a vintage ’60’s Alnico Silver.
We’ve captured the amp with a Royer 121 and Earthworks SR25 through a stereo Neve 1073 preamp.
LINE 6 STADIUM (PROXY) // NEW!
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.
TONE MATCH (Gen 2) PATCHES (Applies to Line 6 HX 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.
The ‘Gen2’ indicates a new process we’ve used when Tone Matching our amplifiers that takes more of the amplifier’s cab and speaker into account, resulting in a more accurate tone match impulse response.
PRESETS INFO
(Applies to Line 6 HX, Fractal, Quad Cortex, Headrush Prime)
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.
- AM4 presets include ‘Block Library’ files to give you access to dozens of different effects, all perfectly dialed in
- The HX Stomp presets do not include Snapshots.
- Headrush Prime presets include Amp Clones
CAPTURES & PROFILES
(Applies to Stadium/Proxy, TONEX, Quad Cortex, NAM, and Kemper units)
The captures increase through the entire gain range of the amp for both 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
You get a total of 6 captures
NAM Captures are A2
QUAD CORTEX CAPTURES
The captures and presets are available for free in the Cortex Cloud app. You’ll need to create an account and follow ‘WorshipTutorials’ to access the presets and captures (go here to create an account and access the app).

New to the Helix Stadium and was trying to the tone in my head into a preset. Downloaded the AC30/6 presets and “presto!” There was the tone! I was seriously considering new pickups for one of my guitars. I think this saved me some $$$ and a call to my therapist.
Simon Paquet (verified owner) –
It’s pretty good. I could not believe how the feeling and sound could be this close to a real tube amp in a modeler.
Brian Wahl (store manager) –
Thank you Simon! We are constantly blown away by how close these things can get to our tube amps.

Superb!! Excellent capture of this classic amp. Helix Stadium has done a great job with the Proxy feature, and your conversion Is as top notch as always.

I really love the presets and captures (clones) that Signal Theory / Worship Tutorials make. This new one delivers and then some. They are one of the main reasons I invested in a Helix Stadium. The presets they create are easy to use and really take the guesswork out so you can focus on your playing.

5 star review! Since recent I am a happy AM4-user. This preset was/is free and used it in my process of getting to know the AM4. Installing it was easy and it sounds very good! It is interesting to see how it is set up, so a big thank you to the guys at Signal Theory. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Dewayne Pinion (verified owner) –
Love this preset for my AM4. Dropped it in and used as song presets, with scenes contributing to various changes in the songs. Sounds great and blends well in the mix. Highly recommend this patch if you are new to the AM4 like me. Got things up and going quickly and easily while sounding awesome
Luis (verified owner) –
This preset was great. I had just gotten my new stadium and I didn’t have time to dig into how to build my own before playing a set at church and this preset worked great out of the box.
Trenton Aman (verified owner) –
Always a killer classic. Wonderful tones and feel that fit the mix. Definitely a gateway amp profile. Once you try it, you want to purchase more! Highly recommend.
Andy Ground (verified owner) –
I am actually quite blown away with how good this sounds. I am new to modelling and this is my second only download. I will certainly look at what else is on offer. Thank you.
John M (verified owner) –
The A30 presets sound great with my Gretch and FM3! I’m impressed with how rich the tone is. As I listen more closely, I can hear how well you dialed in the crunch, delay and reverb – well done. I use the Ambi tones often to start songs, then switch to the drive for the chorus, no adjustments needed. I also play in a dad band and use the rock settings for some 80s tones. I couldn’t be happier. I like dialing in tones on the FM3 myself. They are close, but not as good as the ones you made.
Paul (verified owner) –
The AC30 preset sounds really good. I am looking forward to using it on Sunday. Thank you so much for creating this patch and sharing it with us.
Michael (verified owner) –

Toni fatti come sempre molto bene considerata la tipologia dell’amp molto difficile da gestire complimenti
David (verified owner) –
Great work as always gentlemen! This is gonna be my new go to patch for my Helix Stadium.
R Daniel (verified owner) –
Wonderful feel, sound and stands out in the mix very well. Very little tweaking needed and really wakes the Stadium XL UP! I’m very well pleased and you really need to try this. Recommended!
usmc5541 (verified owner) –

It sounds great on the Fractal AM4! I will definitely be checking more of their AM4 stuff!
Roman Hendricks (verified owner) –
Great amp and a killer capture! Excited to try more from Signal Theory
Tom Bozich (verified owner) –
I’m primarily a keyboard player, with no real experience with modelers other than some limited time working with my pod go, and using factory presets. One of my worship team members suggested these A30 presets from Signal Theory and they sound great! Makes me want to spend more time practicing my guitar for sure. I’ll be checking out other presets that Signal Theory has to offer!
James Castaneda (verified owner) –
Long time OG Helix user and still use Signal Theory presets live. Downloaded Stadium Native and wanted to try out Proxy to see what it’s really about. Very impressed that I was able to try all this out for free.
Sandy Colameco (verified owner) –
Sounds great!! Love using this amp, usually my go to when creating my own presets!!
Thomas Anslinger (verified owner) –
With Helix Stadium native dropped, I had to give it a go. I’ve used helix products for 10 years, but didn’t want to spend another chunk of money towards the stadium. Out the box, the tones were great, especially the US UK preset they made. However, I wanted to test a preset and compare to OG Helix Native so I got this free one. I don’t know why they are so generous to give a great patch for free, but they did and I am grateful. It sounds great and I’m really excited to use it!
Noah McKenzie (verified owner) –
This is an awesome capture! I’ve used this across multiple devices while playing live and I can say this is one of the best for ac30 tones. Perfectly balanced and takes pedals extremely well.

Sounds great with an Ibanez Riviera on my Headrush Prime (NAM A2). Brighter than some other Vox captures I have. I need to try it with the Tele next. I might have to subscribe to Tone Pass now…
Robert Walker (verified owner) –
Have this on multiple platforms and it sounds great on all of them. I run all my wet effects right into them like a crazy person and it holds up great, sounds huge!
scarface1524 (verified owner) –
Thanks for awesome. capture
Sweet tube amp sound coming from my mini effector
Josh (verified owner) –
By far the most usable out of the box preset I have tried. This has become my default reference to compare any new presets I create.
Accanove –
Beautiful ac30 NAM profile. Articulation and dynamic at maximum level!
Anže (verified owner) –
I think the proxy is amazing 5/5, but I have slight issues with some of the presets and snapshots. They sound amazing, and are well constructed but just too reverby for my taste and my style of music.
Thank you for the free proxy <3. Will there be a clone of imperial tone king in the future? I am very interested in that one as it was also the main reason I bought the stadium. I am planning to buy a few presets in the near future.
Thank you and have a nice day 🙂
Ryan (verified owner) –
I’ve relied on WT / Signal Theory stuff for years. Im new to the Helix family after being a long time Kemper player. These AC 30 proxy cloned sound amazing and are immediately usable! Great work guys!
Mitch McKelvey (verified owner) –
Can’t believe this is free, thanks guys, you never disappoint!!!
Terry Moss (verified owner) –
Has a wonderful tone with my PRS HB II SE!
Eduardo Ocampo (verified owner) –
Man, this amp sounds super amazing!
Iain Wilson –
Sounds good but is there really no calibration data in the metatags and no calibration info provided to work with manually (NAM related)
Brian Wahl (store manager) –
Thanks! We have begun adding this data, and I’ll try to get this amp re-captured with the calibration (and with direct captures).
