MODELED AMPS & CABS: WHICH AMPS AND CABS ARE MODELED?

4 • 9

Boutique #3 (Hold Tap + Tweed Blues) - This model is based on a Budda

Twinmaster head. The Budda has a great, warm, Class A, sound. This was Budda’s

ﬁrst offering. The Budda philosophy is all about power tube distortion. Simplicity

is the key. With relatively low front end gain, highly interactive tone controls, and

tube rectiﬁer “sag” it’s great at getting a classic cranked sound for small gigs and

recording. Once again, since the Twinmaster has no mid control, we’ve added a

little bonus in the form of some post-Amp Model mid contouring available via

POD’s Middle control. As usual, set this control to 12 o’clock to get groovy with

the unadorned Budda-style vibe.

Black Panel #2 (Hold Tap + Black Panel) - The classic blackface Fender Twin

(in this case, a 1965 Twin) was a real workhorse. Everybody used it, from jazz and

country players to serious rockers. I remember seeing Johnny Winter at a concert

where both he and Rick Derringer – am I dating myself or what? – were using six

Twins stacked in a pyramid each. We were in the second balcony and it was

REALLY loud even all the way back there. The Twin has a lot of tonal ﬂexibility

and is at home in a great many different situations. It never gets extremely

overdriven and dirty, mostly just louder; a lot louder. This is the amp for the classic

surf sound. Dial up the spring reverb, switch on the tremolo, crank up the volume,

and look out for bikinis.

Brit Class A #3 (Hold Tap + Modern Class A) - Here’s another Vox-inspired

Amp Model. This model is based on Channel 1 of a wonderful 1960 AC 15. The

sound is similar to that of the Vox AC 30s that were studied for POD’s Brit Class

A and Brit Class A #2 Amp Models, but this is a smaller amp (one, instead of two,

12" speakers) with a warmer, more “woody” sound. Once again, the original amp

had only a single tone control – a treble cut. We faithfully modeled that and then

slipped in some post-Amp Model Bass and Middle contouring. Set the Bass and

Middle in neutral (12 o’clock, or halfway up) and play with the Treble control to

get yourself some of those classic British invasion sounds.

Brit Class A #2 (Hold Tap + Brit Class A) - This Amp Model is based on the

Normal Channel of a Non Top Boost Vox AC-30. As we mentioned in reference
