As the pages describe, these models were created as the result of our in-depth studies of a dream collection of classic amplifiers. We've included some historical information, as well as sample settings for each model, to let you know how each of the units we studied made its mark on the world of guitar tone, and earned a spot on our modeling "hit list. " The models of your Amp Modeler are designed to capture the sonic spirit of these classics, and bring it to you with the powerful new advantages of programmability and versatility--not to mention the fact that we stuffed all these models into a single pedal for use with your own favorite amp. Total Tone Control Some amps that we modeled didn't have a full set of bass, mid and treble knobs. Any time that there were knobs to spare, we used 'em to provide you with extra tone control for greater versatility than the original amp we modeled. To get a more authentic vintage sound, you can leave these extra controls pointed to 12 o'clock so they aren't adding or subtracting anything from your tone. So, without further delay, let's meet the gang, shall we? Tiny Tweed ­ based on a '61 Fender Champ Modeled after a 1961 Tweed Champ, this model has a great sound when the Drive is cranked. These low-power amps were originally designed to be sold to beginners, but rock and rollers quickly discovered that they were just the thing to get a great distorted sound at fairly low volume levels. Many of the classic guitar solos of the 50's were recorded through a Champ. Just leave the Bass, Mid and Treble controls parked at 12 o'clock, meaning they are "flat, " making no contribution to the classic Champ-style sound.

Modeled after a 1953 "wide panel" Fender Tweed Deluxe, this model will snarl with the best of them. Neil Young has been using Deluxes for years to craft his aggressive, organic sound. The Deluxe has only a single tone control, essentially a treble roll off. AM4's Treble knob mimics the Deluxe's roll off when using this model. Bass and Mid give you extra versatility for tone tweaking--or you can turn them to 12 o'clock to stick with the more classic Tweed sound.

Originally a bass guitar amp, the Bassman became a Blues staple for 6-string guitarists. It has the fat bottom end you'd expect from a bass amp but also has the Fender twang on the top. The Bassman, like many of the amps we modeled, didn't have a master volume. So to get the kind of tone that the Bassman can deliver at higher gain settings, you had to crank it up loud enough to do some serious damage to anyone who might be standing close by. Try this model with Drive set to about 4 or 5--it's guaranteed to dredge up the best R&B licks you know.

When driven hard, Deluxes give a gritty sound that cleans up nicely as you back off on your guitar's volume just a little. You'll get the same kind of thing by setting the Drive knob high when you're using this model. [. . . ] Let's say you just want to add a bit of tubey-ness to your signal, and maybe have a bit of front-end EQ feeding into your amp. The Drive control lets you dial in the tone from subtle warming to distort-o-rama. With the tone controls at 12 o'clock, the EQ is "flat. " Turn a tone knob up to get a boost, and down to get a reduction in that tone range.
