BadKat Mod C15 – Tone Match Presets and Captures

Description

TONE MATCH PRESETS, CAPTURES, CLONES, AND PROFILES

The BadKat Mod C15 presets and captures are based on a Bad Cat Mod Shop Cub 15. The Mod Shop Cub 15 is Bad Cat going back to their roots – this is a take on the original Cub design by Mark Sampson with some added functionality and higher gain options. This one gets awesome Vox inspired tones.

We have captured and tone matched the amp through three different cabs as well as direct. For capture units, we’ve included 26 captures, and for preset units we’ve included two sets of presets and three tone-matched IR’s.

CAPTURES & PROFILES

(Applies to Line 6 Stadium, TONEX, Quad/Nano Cortex, Kemper)

The captures increase through the entire gain range of the amp. We’ve delivered 26 total captures, including three speaker options as well as direct captures.

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.

TONEX, Quad Cortex, and Kemper are all using the ‘V2’ capture process/technology

NAM (A2) Captures

Includes 26 captures with the same cab and direct options

Capture Labels:

• GB = Celestion G12M ‘Greenback’ Speaker
• BC = Bad Cat Custom V30 Speaker
• JG = Jackson Ported 1×12 cab with Celestion Gold speaker
• DI = Direct (no cab)
• W = Warmer
• B = Brighter
• X = Cranked

PRESETS INFO

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

The pack includes 2 sets of presets (each with SC and HB options). The presets are labeled ‘A’ and ‘B’, and feature different approaches to signal chain and amp channels.

‘A PRESETS: The ‘A’’ presets feature two amp blocks set up in a stereo pair with all the wet effects feeding into the amps. Think of it like running a large stereo pedalboard into two amplifiers set on the ‘edge of breakup’.

‘B’ PRESETS: In the ‘B’ presets, the modulation, delay, and reverb effects are placed after the single (mono) amplifier block. This replicates a  studio setting where all the modulation, delay, and reverb effects are applied after the amplifier.

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.
• Fractal AM4 presets include a block library download that gives you access to many of our favorite effects already dialed in.
• POD GO & AM4 Users: Because POD Go cannot utilize two amp blocks in a single preset, we’ve delivered one set of presets.
• The HX Stomp presets do not include Snapshots/Scenes.
  

IR Cab Labels:

• GB = Celestion G12M ‘Greenback’ Speaker
• BC = Bad Cat Custom V30 Speaker
• JG = Jackson Ported 1×12 cab with Celestion Gold speaker

TONE MATCH 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.

QUAD/NANO CORTEX V2 Captures & Presets – 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.

CAB DETAILS

• For capture units (Stadium/Proxy, TONEX, Quad Cortex, and Kemper), you’ll get separate captures through each cab, as well as direct captures.
• For modeling units (Line 6 and Fractal), you’ll get separate Tone-Matched IR files which you can swap into the cab block(s) to switch cabs. There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ cab options – simply audition each cab and pick your favorite (or mix/match them). You do not necessarily need to make any adjustments to the amp block(s) when switching IR cabs.
