Stelligan uploaded a Dumblator into the return on a 6l6 power section on fire. Feed the monster. This is going to be very useful! :D

Good deal for us and he gets to practice making the best captures I have heard yet, period.

I will have some gain and treatment captures going up in a couple days. Waiting for a direct box to be returned. I serviced an amp and filled it with big black RCAs and lots of Mullards. I never knew it did this. lol

This is the recovery/return stage only of the D-lator into the power stage. "Lator" on I will be posting a gained up full D-lator into power once I figure how much gain to feed it. May take some trial & error.

It is easy to find you on the sharing site. I wind up and ZING the mouse wheel and watch 1300 poorly captured Line 6 sounds described as whatever Line 6 calls them but (parenthetical) secondary descriptions (like BRUTAL or Attempt #37) and when it looks like the title is shorter and meaningful...

There. There is your capture.

I think it is "BROOTAL" because they can't spell either...

Clean sounds are always the hardest to handle and setup with a switching rig, especially if you use it with other bold patches.


BEFORE WE BEGIN I set the tone controls to PRE for all clean sounds for all captures.

If you are using TX AND TX1 absolutely get Stelligan's EF86 preamp capture. It is mild. Install it on the TX1.

On that device in the Tonex app on your computer, set the input trim to +6. The gain and volume are basically dimed. My global volume is around 5.

Enable compressor. Needs to be happy with your pickups. You are looking for a peak reduction no more than -8dB with the attack just beyond your transient strike. Mine is between 9-15ms. Threshold is all about your pickups. Don't crush the pants off a small digital signal. Always ALWAYS ALWAYS you are looking for peak @-14 before the compressor is enabled and your compressor volume (makeup) returns the signal to this level and NO MORE.

Now, and I can't decide because they are both so very awesome, but different, you install his 102 clean and Blonde Bassman (modified) captures on your TX pedal. In either case get fairly happy with your settings then enable the TX1 in pedal mode to drive it.

Now we are talking.. I hope you are monitoring through something with meters. Mind the -14 rule. On my mixer that is the 4th segment tapping on -12 very lightly.

So you love it. It's GREAT! You never had a better clean and smooth sound in your life. Enable compressor on TX pedal. This time you are looking for -2 peak reduction. The attack should be something faster than the preamping signal. 5-9ms. Maybe even less with humbuckers.. maybe not.

Preen the attack and threshold until the attack blends as you wish to the sustain, then makeup the gain with the compressor volume.

Now, you go away happier than usual.. but then you realize you should run a high def recapture to consolidate your setting into a single capture. Experiment with the amp captures. I am sure you will find the Bassman has INCREDIBLE dimension and the 102 clean is smooth as silk with a similar depth of field, just not as deep. There are no comparable other captures. These are the most amazing available.

Other interesting things. You like high gain? Splawn

UR 3rd Gear +++ capture on ToneNet. Get the 2nd gear for the ryth patch. These captures sound very close to my Bruisemaker JTM45 amp. Squat and scream.

Hiwatts. There are three amp only captures of clean, warm, and full grit on ToneNet that make a good three channel hell raiser.

Hold left main encoder down, scroll past noise gate and compressor settings, I believe the setting is the last EQ setting before reverb settings.

Pre or Post

Clean sounds I always use PRE. Default all captures is POST

November 14th the update is released.

I am going to get these things.

1. New cheap powerful laptop.
2. MOTU 828
3. Waves Abbey Road
4. Waves Renaissance
5. Uno2 upgrade for 1010 midi contoller
6. A second Tonex pedal
7. Nuendo


If the past is any indication of my future I will drive this rig until my wheels fall off. Total latency expected to be >+1m. Like, way..

Now.. time to imagine inverse cabinet IRs. Maybe an app with a built-in 3 band parametric +bass and treble shelf/pass bands that inverts available IRs.

Inverted? So you can remove an IR?

Yes.. you can't really remove it perfectly, but you can get enough out of the way to salvage the amp.
