Here’s the 5 packs included in the Boutique bundle 1 :
Comet (60, Concourse)
Mr Z (Mz-38, Hwy 66)
ODS (HRM, HRM Mid, Ford 1, Ford 2)
Two Stone (J35 1, J35 2)
Wrecker (Express, Lvrpool, Rocket)
Each Amp Pack focuses on one or more amp models (*) and has 15 presets. Those presets are built on the same “do it all” template, with 8 scenes. Each preset has the same template and effects settings. What changes from preset to preset are the user cab and the amp settings, and sometimes, the amp model.
Also included are 15 new custom cabs, and a 16th one for clean tones. All packs uses the same 15 custom cabs, except those from the “boutique” bundle (ODS, Two Stone, Wrecker, Mr Z, Comet) which uses another selection of 15 cabs more suited for blues-rock & fusion playing. As usual, those presets are for FRFR systems.
These Amp Packs are my answer to a frequent request : cheaper/smaller packs, or even, single presets. The price of these Amp Packs is in fact in line with what single presets are often sold for – except that you get 15 presets (so, much more tonal variations), instead of one !
(*) Some uses different channels of the same amp model, or different models of the same amp family (all the Rectos are in one pack, all the Friedman BE/HBE too, etc.) or brand (Diezel VH4 and Herbert in the same pack, etc.). See the bundles pack list below for more information.
The scenes are as follow:
1 Rhythm
2 Crunch
3 Lead 1 (boosted with a drive pedal)
4 Lead 2 (no drive pedal, for a warmer tone, and with the Enhancer block)
5 Fender style clean
6 Fender style clean with modulation
7 Eighties style glassy clean
8 Acoustic simulation
The clean scenes uses a second amp block and other amp models, USA Pre Clean (or ODS clean in boutique packs) for scenes 5 & 6, and Jazz 120 for scene 7. The acoustic simulation uses no amp models but the Tonematch block. This simulation is for standard electric guitars, not electric guitars with piezo pickups.
You’ll notice that the Multiband Compressor isn’t used in any scene. Read the “Tweaking tips” document about this, and other suggestions. Also Read the “Installation notes” document carefully !
