TONE MATCH Gen2 PATCHES, CAPTURES, AND PROFILES OF OUR PRS MT15

For these patches, we’ve captured a PRS MT15 Amplifier. 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 MT15 is a collaboration between Paul Reed Smith and Mark Tremonti. It is meant to replicate Tremonti’s rhythm and lead tones, but also to have beautiful clean tones.
We’ve captured and tone matched this amp through a Mesa Boogie 4×12 Slant cab with Celestion V30’s. This amp might be just 15 watts, but it sounds huge.
TONE MATCH (Gen 2) PATCHES (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.
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)
The pack includes fully featured presets designed for both single coil and humbucker equipped guitars.
MAIN TMONT 15 Preset: This preset includes both the clean and rhythm/lead amp models, and includes a variety of effects. NOTE: POD Go cannot run two amp blocks in a single preset, so we’ve delivered a ‘DRT’ and ‘CLN’ preset, for dirty and clean tones
LOTR Preset: We wanted to have a bit of fun with the a demo of this new preset, so we made a Lord of the Rings medley. The LOTR preset for Helix has the snapshots we used to make those sounds.
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 TONEX, Quad Cortex, and Kemper units)
The captures increase through the entire gain range of the amp for both the clean and lead 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
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

I started to but the hardware version of this amp but, I opted for this instead. It’s absolutely amazing! The same tone and response of the head my cousin was playing on when we went to atomic music in Maryland I’m going to do some tweaking but I can see that this is going to be another one that’s going in the lineup for praise and worship.

Great patch and IR. Very workable as well.
I have a pod go so IR’s are very important to get that big full sound out of your rig. From there it’s just tweaking little stuff to my ear. Was able to dial back the gain and use this almost exclusively on a Sunday morning worship set.
Thanks for putting out great stuff that takes the headache out of creating patches and snap shots!

Exactly what I wanted to have as a Tremonti sound. These are the heavies I was searching for and the crystal cleans… amazing patch
