[. . . ] Brian May of Queen, Mike Campbell of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, and The Edge of U2 have also used classic AC 30s to make their music. On this Amp Model, POD's Middle control acts like the Cut knob on the AC 30. Although usually played fairly clean, a cranked AC 30 has a great saturated lead tone, a la Brian May on the early Queen albums. A non-Top Boost AC 30 is modeled for POD's Brit Class A #2 Amp Model, which comes up in a few more pages. Brit Blues - This Amp Model is based on a circa 1964-65 JTM-45 head with block logo (predates the "scrolled" Marshall logo), complete with a gold Plexiglas (Plexi) front panel, although the sound normally associated with Plexi amps comes from the late 60's, 50-watt version that was the inspiration for the next in POD's line up of Amp Models. The JTM-45 marked the beginning of Marshall's transition from a mellower Fender-like tone to the distinctive bright "crunchy" sound of the later Marshalls. Brit Classic - Modeled after the infamous Marshall Plexi ­ coveted by tone connoisseurs the world over. 1968) Marshall had completely MODELED AMPS & CABS: WHICH AMPS AND CABS ARE MODELED? changed the circuitry away from the Fender 6L6 power tube heritage and moved to an EL34 tube; another major tone difference was due to the necessary output & power supply transformer changes. (See, we told you we spent some time looking into all this stuff. ) All this mucking about added up to create a tone forever linked with Rock Guitar. Amps of this era didn't have any sort of master volume control, so to get this sound you'd have to crank your "Mark III Super Amp" to max ­ just the thing to help you really make friends with the neighbors. Hendrix used Marshalls of this era; 20 years later Van Halen's first two records owed their "brown sound" to a 100-watt Plexi. In order to get a crunch sound out of a Plexi you would likely crank up the input volume and the tone controls (to 10!). You'll find that the Brit Classic, in keeping with our basic "make-it-sound-a-whole-lotlike-the-original" concept, is set up to do pretty darned near the same thing. Max out the Middle and Treble knobs and turn Bass to about 9 or 10 o'clock on your POD when using this Plexi-inspired Amp Model and you can treat those nice neighbors to a tasty slice of fat rock tone. 5·5 Brit Hi Gain - Turn to this Amp Model to conjure up tones of the coveted JCM 800, one of Marshall's most universally-acclaimed modern amps. This updated version of the Plexi continued Marshall's heritage with added gain and edge for a new generation of rock guitarists. One of the biggest differences here is that the tone controls are located after the preamp tubes. We worked with a 1990 JCM 800 with Master Volume to develop this model. Incidentally, some versions of JCM800's get their distortion from clipping a diode. Although not many people play Marshalls clean, it's a great tone, so you should also be sure to check out this model with a low Drive setting, too. Of course, you can always pump up the drive and rage. . . . Rectified - This model is modeled after a 1994 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Tremoverb. You can use this Amp Model to get that tight, high gain sound used by bands like Dream Theater or Metallica. Boogie made their mark in the late 70's and early 80's by adding master volumes and more gain stages to amps with Fender-style circuitry. You can hear the Fender heritage but with more "punch" in the mids. The Boogie Dual Rectifier's tone controls are post-distortion and, as MODELED AMPS & CABS: WHICH AMPS AND CABS ARE MODELED? with the tone sections of most of the amps we based our models on, the individual controls interact with each other and with the Drive.
