British invasion bands. Much of the unique character of the Vox
®
sound can be attributed
to the fact that Class A amps overdrive in a very different way than Class AB. Brian May of
Queen, Mike Campbell of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers, and The Edge of U2 have also used
classic AC 30s to make their music. On this Amp Model, Pocket POD’s Mid control acts
like the Cut knob on the AC 30. Although usually played fairly clean, a cranked AC 30 has
a great saturated lead tone, a la Brian May on the early Queen albums.
“Brit Class A #2”. Based on* the Normal Channel of a Non-Top Boost Vox
®
AC-30. As
we mentioned, the early Vox
®
amps were the first designed especially for electric guitar (Hey,
some early amps from other manufacturers have Accordion inputs! Polka, anyone?), and used
Class A power amp designs, rather than the much more common
Class AB type. We were lucky enough to find what we are told was
one of Bryan Adams’ favorite AC 30s for recording. Lenny Kravitz
happened to be using it the week before we began testing. It was
one of the gems in a great collection of vintage amplifiers offered
for rental in Los Angeles, where Line 6 is located. We later bought
this amp, and continued to hone our emulation of it to bring you
the Amp Model it inspired in the Pocket POD. This is definitely
a good place to start to get yourself some of those classic British
invasion sounds. Like the AC 15, the AC 30 NTB has only a single treble control, so Pocket
POD’s Bass and Mid controls here are set up for boost after the Amp Model processing to
add a little extra flexibility without compromising the accuracy of the model. The 12 o’clock
setting on these controls is flat response.
“Brit Class A #3”. Based on* Channel 1 of a wonderful 1960
Vox
®
AC 15. Here’s another Vox-inspired Amp Model. The sound
is similar to that of the Vox
®
AC 30s that were studied for Pocket
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 mid contouring.
Set the Bass and Mid to neutral (12 o’clock, or halfway up) and
play with the Treble control to get yourself some of those classic
