The Effects
66
• Recto 2 - Similar to Recto I but with a slightly different input frequency shaping circuit.
• Solo 100 - Based on a high-gain hot-rod with a chrome chassis, this amp is noted for its
snarling lead sound. Also great for aggressive rhythm work, this type “chugs” nicely without
getting muddy. Pair it with one of the 4x12 cabinet simulations for modern rock tones.
• Spec. OD 1 - Based on a coveted but rare lead head that was made famous by Larry Carlton
and others. Another amp with a very strange tone-stack, this amp has a singing voice and is
great for modern blues/fusion work. This is the clean channel.
• Spec. OD 2 - The overdrive channel of the above.
• Euro 1 - Based on a German high-gain amp, these amps pay homage to the British amps but
with lots more gain and more high-frequency emphasis. This type simulates the overdrive
channel with the boost and “structure” switches off.
• Euro 2 - As above but with the boost and structure switches on. This one has lots of gain and
plenty of low-end chunk along with a crispy top-end. Great for modern metal.
• UK GC30 - Based on a great British amp introduced in the 90’s this amp is a strange marriage
of a USA style pre-distortion tone-stack, British voicing and a Class A power amp. Best for
blues and lower-gain rock leads, has nice sustain qualities. Can get muddy at high drive levels,
decrease the bass to compensate.
• Buttery - Based on an 18-watt amp that gained notoriety during the late 90’s this type is a
low-gain amp that relies mostly on power amplifier distortion. Try a drive in front for smooth
lead sounds.
• Metal - A custom type similar to a British type but with more gain for more grind. This
simulation features quite a bit of high-frequency emphasis along with a modified British tone-
stack. Capable of searing rhythm and lead tones.
• Big Hair - Spandex, studded wrist bands, pyrotechnics and your Axe-Fx are all you'll need to
relive the 80's metal scene. This custom type has a unique voicing and tone-stack that
emphasizes mid frequencies without getting muddy. Now plug in and shred!
• Hellbeast - A radical custom type with an unconventional tone-stack.
• Supertweed - Like a vintage Tweed amplifier on steroids.
• Fusion - A smooth, thick tone good for fusion/blues solo work.
• FAS Clean - Combines the best features of the Blackface and the USA Clean into a hybrid
clean tone that’s great for a variety of uses.
• FAS Crunch - A hybrid British/USA crunch sound.
• FAS Lead 1 - A neutral high gain lead with a tight midrange.
• FAS Lead 2 - More gain and more sizzle.
• FAS Modern - A high gain hybrid tone that’s equally suited to modern rhythm and lead work.
• JR Blues- Based on a modern all-tube combo amp with two EL84 output tubes and a single
12” speaker. This amplifier has become an instant classic because of its gutsy tone at
manageable volumes.
