The Story
This amp is not my own. Even if I wanted to buy one, they’re rare as hens’ teeth and aren’t currently in production. Thankfully, through the wonderful connections made possible by social media, I recently became friends with Isaac Cook, a current Elliott artist. Isaac had been using some of my ToneX captures and enjoyed them enough to graciously loan me his Revenuer for the purpose of capturing. The goal was to create capture sets designed in partnership with Isaac that perfectly compliment his favorite Elliott guitars—his James Duke 357, Raven, and Tone Master. After almost a year in the making, Isaac and I are very proud of the captures we’ve created together and are excited to share them with you! But worry not, even if you don’t own an Elliott guitar, we’re sure there’s a capture in here that will fit whatever’s in your arsenal. Read up about each capture below.
OVERVIEW
51 captures for humbuckers and single coils with 2 different speakers.

The 357, RAVE, and TM were captured with a vintage Shure 545D paired with a Royer R-121 with mic placements and EQ treatment specific to each set. The “SC” capture was made with a 545D and a Beyerdynamic M160 while the final “E” capture was made with a single 545D. API Preamps and mild API EQ was used to tune each capture.

This small set of captures and IRs was done just for fun. I found a photo of the amp rig for Elevation Worship’s guitar player (you know the one) and dialed in his amp settings. I didn’t have a photo of the cab, speaker, or mic he was using, but I went with the standard 545D in position 3 on both speakers and left any post EQ off.
B1 is jumped to N2 and the input is plugged into N1. The tone is set at max, bright switch at position 2 (the brightest) and the two volumes combined make it a slightly dirtier base capture than most of the others in my set. So feel free to reach for the Gain control and adjust EQ to taste! Honestly, with a tiny bit of tweaking, it’s a solid capture.

"Once again, Devan delivers an incredibly sounding amp profile! I’ve been wanting to try something different from the usual AC30 and its boutique variants, and the Revenuer is exactly what I needed. It brings a fresh, new character and excels at those “worship” tones, the edge-of-breakup sound that cleans up and drives beautifully. The excellence and precision that Devan puts into these captures is truly remarkable!"

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!

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 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 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!
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 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.
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.

This is a collection of my favorite drives at my favorite gain and tone settings for each peal. Though these were dialed in around my AC30 and Prosonic amps from my Signature Rig Preset, these drives can no doubt fit a wide variety of amps and styles.
