Axe-Fx name	Amp simulated
TUBE PRE	Generic Tube Preamp "A completely neutral, low-gain tube pre-amp simulation. Useful for warming up vocals and other instruments" Suggested cabinet: n/a Tips: ...
JAZZ	Roland JC120 "Based on a Japanese solid-state amp with built-in chorus. With essentially no tone shaping this amp has a warm, midrange-thick sound that is good for jazz and fingerstyle. With the Axe-Fx’s powerful tone controls you can tweak this type to get shimmering rhythm tones as well" Suggested cabinet: ? Tips: ...
BROWNFACE	Fender Vibroverb "Based on a classic American 40-watt tube amp with built-in vibrato. Great for gutsy blues, this type breaks up nicely, especially when the Master is cranked. The original had no Mid or Presence so set these to ‘0’ for classic tone" Suggested cabinet: 1x12 Black, 2x12 Black Tips: ...
BLUES	Fender Bassman "A low-to-medium gain sound great for blues. Based on a classic bass amplifier with four 10” speakers, it didn’t work so well for bass but guitar players quickly discovered it made a great blues amp. Try a treble booster in front for screaming blues work a la Albert Collins or Albert King" Suggested cabinet: 4x10 Bass Tips: ...
TWEED	Fender Deluxe Reverb Model AB763 "Based on a small, low-power, tweed-covered amp. The original had no controls other than volume. Set all tone controls to ‘0’ for authentic tone. Adjust as desired to venture into new sonic territory. Our simulation has a bit more gain than the somewhat anemic original to allow you to dial in a nice crunch. To recreate the original faithfully set the drive to about 6 and use the Master as the volume" Suggested cabinet: 1x12 Black, 2x12 Black Tips: The "Tweed" name and description do not match with the actual emulated model.
BLACKFACE	Fender Twin "Based on a popular, 100-watt American tube amp with two 12” speakers. This simulation captures the Normal Channel. Very similar to the Brownface model but a little more mellow. The tone-stack is also slightly different giving it just a bit different voicing" Suggested cabinet: 2x12 Black Tips: ...
CLASS A	Vox AC30 "A medium-gain emulation based on an early British tube amplifier. This type does not have the high-frequency emphasis like the American types and therefore has a darker sound. Try a treble boost in front for a snarling British “opera-rock” sound. This amp is notable in that it has no negative feedback around the power-amp and hence has a gritty character and less high-frequency response" Suggested cabinet: 2x12 Brit Tips: ...
TOP BOOST	Vox AC30TB "Based on the “Top Boost Mod” version of the Class A. The public yearned for a brighter amp and the designers responded by adding a treble boost circuit. At first this circuit was a retrofit but then included as standard. Our simulation captures the boosted high-frequency response and slightly reduced bass response of the original" Suggested cabinet: 2x12 Brit Tips:
