AC30 6TB - TONEX Capture (FREE)

$0.00 $24.99

This amp is a special one. It's a 1993 Korg-era Vox AC30 6TB, from what many consider to be one of the best eras of AC30 production. These amps have a reputation for sounding incredible, and after playing this one, it's easy to see why. It's easily one of my favorite amps I've ever played, and definitely a desert island amp for me.

But this isn't your ordinary AC30 6TB. What makes this particular AC30 even more interesting is the speakers. It's loaded with a pair of original Celestion Vintage 30s from the mid-'80s, which are pretty hard to come by these days. These are the same speakers that Matchless used in some of their earliest, now-legendary amps. The result is everything I love about a great AC30, but with a little extra magic. It's punchy, it breaks up beautifully, and it sounds absolutely huge.

This pack includes four captures of the amp through those speakers, all made on the Top Boost channel and mic'd up with a Shure 545. They range from lower-gain tones all the way up to the amp really cooking, so you've got plenty of options depending on what you're playing. My goal with these captures was to preserve as much of the feel and response of the real amp as possible, keeping everything feeling super open, dynamic, and punchy.

This amp means a lot to me, and I wanted to share a little piece of it with you, so I've decided to make these captures available for FREE! I hope you enjoy playing through them as much as I do!

    “These are genuinely some of the best presets on the market, I’ve used so many different patches over the years and everytime Sam’s end up being what I go back to! I used his Strymon Bigsky and Timeline patches and fell in love with the way they sounded, when I moved to Meris I ended up getting his presets for them and was blown at how good they sounded. They have excellent character and feel to them and sound amazing in mix. I’ve received a multitude of compliments and had many people ask how I got them to sound so good. They’re my go-to and have been my favorite patches to use live and in studio.”

    “I've purchased several presets over the years, but none have been as good as these! You get a variety of options at a very low price. I've been using Sam's presets for several years now, and have received numerous compliments about how great my tone is."

    “About a year and a half ago, I purchased your patch for the Line 6 Helix. Out of everything I had tried before, it remains my favorite!”

  • Tyler Y.

    “These are some of the best presets I’ve ever used. I cut my rig down from a huge pedal board to just an HX Stomp XL and I’ve relied on presets, custom patches.. etc. I’ve boughten other patches.. and yours are SO much better!! Even with other patches.. I felt like it was too digital if that makes sense. I felt like something was missing. It was kind of a turn off honestly. Yours are extremely inspiring and I enjoy picking up my guitar again.”

    "Dude, I picked up your mercuryx packs a few weeks ago. played at church last week and got more complements on my tone than I have in the year I have been playing. Glory to God, of course, but wanted to say thank you for sharing them with us. Fantastic selection. I have bought several, nothing clicked, but yours totally made sense from the start."

    “I can’t say enough good things about the presets made by Sam. I use them every Sunday and they are incredibly well dialed in. Before discovering his Strymon Timeline presets, using delays was so intimidating - but Sam’s presets are so straightforward to use without sacrificing the excitement of always feeling fresh and new.”
