FAT JIMS
This Fat Jimmy Bundle includes captures and presets of my JAC 15 and Jimmy Jr. II with stereo-first in mind. These amps were dialed in together, side by side, to match in EQ, phase, and headroom so each gain stage breaks up the same way together. The JAC 15 is Mike’s take on the best vintage AC15 and the Jimmy Jr. II is his amalgamation of all the best Fender had to offer through the years. These amps, on their own, are stellar…but together…lights out! This bundle also comes with 4 all-in-one presets (HB and SC) to get you playing with these right away.

The Morgan Custom Shop AC30 is one of the rarest AC-style amplifiers Joe Morgan ever built. Only 9 of these were ever made and were designed as his ultimate tribute to the golden-era JMI AC30. This handwired 30w 2x12 features a vintage-inspired 6-input layout with EF86, 12AX7, and Top Boost channels, delivering everything from shimmering cleans and glassy edge-of-breakup tones to rich harmonic grind. This is one of the most unique and inspiring AC-style amplifiers Morgan has ever produced!

The Bad Cat Era 30 is a boutique, EL84-powered tube amp that delivers a perfect balance of chime, punch, and harmonic richness. Its articulate top end, tight low response, and dynamic touch sensitivity take the Era 30 from sparkling cleans to edge-of-breakup grit and full-bodied overdrive. This is Mark Sampson’s “legacy” amp in every way—a perfected and final iteration of the DC30 circuit that put him on the map to begin with. With separate 12AX7 and EF86 channels, as well as the ability to blend them, this is the ultimate amp for nearly any style, all of which has been meticulously captured for you to enjoy.

The Matchless Clubman delivers a punchy, harmonically rich British voice—tight low end, chimey yet muscular mids, and a smooth, articulate breakup that stays clear even when pushed. There’s a weight and authority to every note that feels alive under your fingers. The low end is focused without ever getting flubby, the mids are rich and forward with that unmistakable Matchless character, and the top end carries a clarity that cuts without harshness. It’s bold, articulate, and incredibly touch-sensitive—clean up with your volume knob or dig in and it pushes into a smooth, harmonically complex breakup that never loses clarity.

This particular AC30 is a 90’s Korg Era AC30/6TB with 2X12 Celestion “6402” stamped Greenbacks. These particular speakers are the holy grail of Greenbacks and compliment this amp spectacularly. But this is no off-the-shelf AC30 either—it’s been heavily modified by Don “Toneman” Butler, a Los Angeles area legend. Don equipped this amp with a Mercury Magnetics Axiom transformer and choke, replaced all the signal path components, changed the filtering to JMI specs, upgraded various components and more. This amp is the tone I’ve been chasing in my head for years and the TONEX has finally given me a way to capture it in a pedalboard friendly package!

This particular Fender Prosonic was made in 1997 and has all original parts. The 60W Prosonic with two 10” Custom Shop Celestion speakers was designed by tone legend Bruce Zinky and has some similar features as a Mesa / BOOGIE amp. This amp can go from sparkling Fender cleans all the way to classic hark rock grind. It’s a much different flavor than a traditional scooped blackface many are familiar with. It has a lot more mids and a really warm saturation. Some say this may be one of the best Fender amps ever made. But we’ll let the captures do the talking!

The Dr. Z Z-80 is Mike's "legacy" amp and is the result of 6 years of fine tuning and perfecting the coveted and uber-rare Vox AC80 circuit. The Doc and Brad Paisley worked together on getting this amp to sound just like the original while also ensuring it was road ready. The Z-80 isn’t just a higher powered version of a vintage AC30, however, rather it stands on its own sonic territory, offering a more focused low end, tighter breakup, and crystal clear highs. This amp sounds great with single coils and humbuckers. To top is off, this particular amp head was built and signed by the Doctor himself. Prepare for chime city!

The uber rare Elliott Revenuer is one of two amp offerings from the famed guitar builder, Andy Elliott. Like Andy’s guitars, his amps are handcrafted and uniquely tuned to put the expression back in the players hands. This amp will make you honest! The Revenuer has a preamp section similar to a Tweed Deluxe paired with a Marshall-esque power section. It truly is a unique amp and has a tone that will undoubtedly bring a freshness to your collection!

This 2005 Bad Cat Tone Cat is a very rare amp from the glory days of Bad Cat. The Tone Cat is not just a 2 channel amplifier, it is actually two completely separate amps in one chassis! The “Clean” side is the same as the 12AX7 channel on a Black Cat (think DC30) and the “Gain” side is the dirty side of a Hot Cat, which offers complex driven and crunchy lead tones. The two sides can also be mixed together and the order can be swapped as well. There are tones galore in this amp and it will have me exploring it for a long time to come!
This particular amp has the “M.S.” inscription on the inside making it a Mark Sampson era Bad Cat. This amp absolutely sings and is sure to scratch that Bad Cat / Matchless itch. It’s “THE” sound!
The two most common questions I get is, “What’s your favorite capture?” and “What are your favorite stereo capture pairings?” This pack is my answer to both!
I chose my favorite capture from each of the 7 current amp packs I offer and then Gain matched them and adjusted the EQ’s on each to pair well together in any stereo configuration.
Skip the endless “capture hunting” that large collections of captures can cause and enjoy this “set and forget” pack.

This preset pack includes captures of all 6 of my current overdrives on my analog board at my preferred settings. Instantly transport the “Shepherd Sound “to your board through the power of TONEX! Use these drive captures on the TONEX ONE, TONEX ONE+ or with the Big Box TONEX pedal with use of MIDI and then pair them with my AC30 or Prosonic captures and you’ve got a ready-to-go rig.
These drives have been recently recaptured with V2 and trained with “Extended Training” for the highest quality.
My Bass Rig for TONEX preset pack is a set of captures of my bass pedalboard we use on stage and in the studio. For best results, I recommend using a bass with Lollar Jazz Bass pickups or similar vintage style pickups.
The goal of this “all-in-one” preset is to replicate my analog pedalboard and my go-to wet effects as close as I could. I captured my AC30 and Prosonic amps to be the anchor for my tone and then captured a full suite of drives to give you access to my favorite tones. I personally use this preset and the Quad Cortex on its own every week as my main rig. I’ve poured a lot of time and attention into this one!
