RELEASE NOTES
This tone-matched Headrush preset is based on our 90's UK-made AC30 6TB loaded with UK-made G12M Greenbacks. Good AC30s are legendary for a reason and this one is no exception - it's a tone workhorse both on the road and in the studio. This preset is full of great effects and can be operated in stompbox or snapshot mode.
TONE-MATCHED IMPULSE RESPONSES INCLUDED
This preset features new tone-matched IRs that integrate an existing amp model in the Headrush with the real-life AC30 during the IR capture process, which results in greater accuracy and translation of the amp to the Headrush ecosystem. Please see the Instructions tab for how to import and load IRs into the preset. This preset includes 4 tone-matched IRs for a small variety of excellent tonal options. Try them all to see which you prefer the tone and dynamics of. The included IRs were captured with the following hardware:
- Shure™ SM57
- Shure™ 545SD
- Shure™ SM57 & 1176D Studio Compressor
- Shure™ 545SD & 1176D Studio Compressor

PICKUPS & GUITAR
All patches include two versions: one dialed-in for humbuckers and one for single coil pickups. The "S" at the end of the preset name indicates the patch was tailored to single coil pickups and the "H" for humbuckers. Regardless of your pickups, it is recommended to test out both patches and see which one suits your tastes and guitar better. Feel free to save a copy of the preset and experiment with the EQ, or any other elements of the patch to tune it as you please.
