MODELED AMPS & CABS: WHICH AMPS AND CABS ARE MODELED?
5 • 11
Rectified #2 (Hold Tap + Rectified) - This Amp Model is modeled after a
1995 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier head. As with the Tremoverb combo that was
modeled for the POD Rectified Amp Model, the Dual Rectifier was part of
Boogie’s more modern, high gain approach for that “big hair” sound. In contrast to
the earlier Boogies, the Dual Rectifier’s tone controls have more influence at high
gain settings, so you can scoop the mids and increase the bottom end.
Modern Hi Gain #2 (Hold Tap + Modern HiGain) - This sound is modeled
after a Soldano SLO – Super Lead Overdrive – head. With snake skin tolex and
everything! Unlike the X88R preamp used for the POD Modern Hi Gain Amp
Model, the SLO includes a presence control, plus other little details that give it a
bit of a different sound. With the Drive control cranked way up, you’ll get sustain
for days.... Go out’n’ave a bite – when you come back it’ll still be sustaining!
Boutique #2 (Hold Tap + Fuzz Box) - Based on the Dumble Overdrive
Special Drive Channel (just described). If you like the Dumble sound, you might
also want to check out the Line 6 Crunch model – it was created to deliver a
similar kind of tone.
Jazz Clean (Hold Tap + Tube Preamp) - This Amp Model is modeled after the
classic Roland JC-120. This transistor amp was known for a strident clean sound
and built-in stereo chorus. When using the Jazz Clean Amp Model, try cranking
up the Treble for a shimmering clean sound that’ll cut through just about any
mix. It’s also perfect for that 80’s “new wave” sound. Alternatively, try backing off
on the Treble and turn up the Bass and Middle for a darker jazz tone. It’ll give
you an essentially flat response, providing a balanced tone across the fret board for
jazz chord melodies or single-line phrasing.
