68 Mars PA 100 Helix/HX Pack with Tone Matched IRs

The 68 Mars PA 100 Helix/HX Pack features 5 Helix Presets, 5 HX Stomp Presets (+5 with extra FX) and 5 Tone Matched IRs that seek to capture the sound of my 1968 Marshall PA 100 Head running thru a 69 Marshall 4x12 with T1221 25w greenbacks and mic’d with a Royer 121 and SM545. Each preset and Tone Matches IR serves to capture one of the 4 inputs each with different voicing plus the inputs Jumpered together. These presets cover the classic “NRM” and “Hi Treble” Marshall input sounds that allow you to match the voicing to different guitars and pickups. From Jimmy, to Jimmi, to Theodocious Atrocious, to SRV and 80’s leads, it’s all in here!

Each Helix/HW preset is built out in snapshot mode allowing easy access, Clean, Overdriven, Rock, and Lead gain stages plus we have added some addition snapshots that feature effects or boosts that I felt complimented the amp. For example, the “Dirty Tape” preset feature multiple reel machines to produce a cool warbley chorus type sound and a couple snapshots labeled “+” which use the Klon boost to really push the high mids and give an authoritative accent for rock and lead tones. We also assigned stomps in “Stompbox” mode which are easily customizable for your playing style. HX Stomp presets features a very similar yet scaled down set up.

Includes:
5 Helix Presets
5 HX Stomp Presets (+5 presets with extra effects)
5 Tone Matched IRs

Notes:
You till notice and EQ block between the Amp block and the IR. This is meant to be an alternate amp voicing which wi felt worked well to compliment the amps natural character or to match to some of my different guitars. You will notice an EQ and La2a compressor placed after the the IR. These serve to make fine adjustments to the feel and high low shelving of the amp tone. While they are currently set to minimal adjustment, these are very useful for sculpting each preset to an individual. Check our Youtube channel for videos on this topic.
