FLUID
If fast, legato licks and thick saturated chunking is your thing, look no further.
Again, we started with our "UK Modern" model which is modeled on the High Gain
channel of a modern, all-tube 100 Watter. But this time we modded the mid-range
EQ to emphasize the almost vocal-like midrange favored by certain legato style
players known for using headless guitars and playing VERY fast. Of course, this
being the XL range, we dimed out the gain to the absolute max. Plug in and fly!
Original’s valve compliment: 4 x ECC83s in preamp, 4 x EL34s in power amp.
MOLTEN
This is modeled on the Overdrive Channel of an all-tube, 100 Watt head built in
1991 and covered in snakeskin! Last time around, we called this US HIGAIN but
our modded MOLTEN sound is capable of even more powerful, heavily saturated
sounds that combine an open low-end with compressed mids and highs. The
result is a tone that remains focused and well defined at even the most extreme
gain settings. Plug in and take cover!
NOTE: The Molten preset features our Octave effect. When the Octave effect is on,
we do not recommend playing chords unless you are going for an unusual effect!
Original’s tube compliment: 4 x 12AX7s in preamp, 4 x 6L6s in power amp.
BLACK
This sound was created when we were having some fun mutating our UK Modern
model. We wondered what this famous UK-made 100-watt hi-gain amp would
sound like if it operated in Class A, rather than Class AB. With this modification,
BLACK was born! Like the other XL sounds, it's tailor-made for hi-gain shred, and
it's a totally unique sound you can only find in the XL range!
Original’s valve compliment: 4 x ECC83s in preamp, 4 x EL34s in power amp.
DAMAGED
For the DAMAGED sound, we started with a US HI GAIN model and then pretty
much tossed out the rule book in our quest for gain. Not only did we crank the gain
to searing levels, but we completely re-voiced and modified the EQ of the original
model. DAMAGED is a thick, dark ultra hi-gain sound. Warn your neighbors and
get ready to shred!
Original’s tube compliment: 4 x 12AX7s in preamp, 4 x 6L6s in power amp.
