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.

The Benson Chimera tips its cap to both sides of the pond yet finds its citizenship in a land of its own. Designed by Chris Benson with full devotion to tone, the Chimera carves out its own sonic territory: rich, articulate, and unequivocally three-dimensional. Plug in and you’ll find a harmonic complexity that feels alive beneath your fingers. The cleans shimmer without being sterile, and when it breaks up, it does so with texture and musicality rather than brute force. It responds like an instrument—dynamic, sensitive, and inspiring.

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.

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!

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!

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!
