THE HISTORY OF A LEGEND

The reference amplifier is the 6 knobs 1964 AC30 belonged to the Rolling Stones and played by Keith Richards. It delivers an unusually high gain even if it does not have the Top Boost circuit. The cabinet is equipped with two Vox* 12" Grey Bulldog Alnico speakers.
This amp was acquired from Peter Fielding, the guitarist of The Executives, and added to the collection.

FROM A GIG TO A RIOT

This is the amplifier used during the famous July 24th 1964 concert, the night the Rolling Stones rocked Blackpool into chaos and got banned from the city for almost 50 years. During the riot, different piece of gear were thrown off the stage, including the AC30 amplifier we have been able to model.

See more pictures of the amp on the Made In Rock website.

Made-In-Rock is an organization which manages a vast collection of items related to the history of rock, including musical instrument, guitar and bass amplifiers and cabinets, effects, clothing and stage items owned by legendary artists who made the history of rock, as well as magazines, posters, fliers, tickets and books of that era.

The purpose is to preserve those items and bring their knowledge to younger generations.
Being Overloud's Fluid Capturing the most advanced capturing technology to date, it has been the perfect choice to accomplish the sound preservation task. It allows to capture and replicate every tonal and emotional details of each amp.

EVERY TONAL AND EMOTIONAL DETAIL CAPTURED

The THU KR30 head emulates all the three Channels of the original '64 AC30: the Normal channel has a standard voicing, with a tight tone ranging from super clean to mid crunchy tones. The brillant channel reduces the energy on the low end, very musically, adding a lot of presence and helping to balance the crunch tone. It is not a Top Boost amplifier, and it can be boosted using the overdrive pedals included in the pack.

The Vibrato/Tremolo channel enables the modulation circuit. The selector allows to choose between the Vibrato modulation, which slightly changes the pitch, and the Tremolo modulation, which recreates the classic Vox "pulsating" tone.

The built-in cabinet is based on the Vox 12" Grey Bulldog Alnico speakers. They have a boost on the mids, delivering a tone with a lot of presence that really rock and rolls! It has been captured with 18 microphones with high resolution nonlinear IRs; thanks to Overloud Fluid Convolution you can place up to 4 microhpnes in the 3D space around the cab and blend them with custom IRs. The ReSPiRe option adds the feeling of standing nearby the cabinet.

WHAT IS OVERLOUD FLUID CAPTURING?

Also called "schematic-assisted capturing", Overloud’s Fluid Capturing is an innovative amp simulation process that combines the advantages of both the modelling and capturing techniques.
An amp capture is a super realistic but static “picture” of the amp sampled with a particular knob setting and operating level. A single capture cannot replicate the amp tone at all the knob settings.
Instead, a modelled amp reacts like the original, at all dynamic ranges and knob positions. However tone may not 100% match a particular sample, due to component tolerances, tube conditions, servicing history and customizations.
With Fluid Capturing, we both model the amp and sample it with lot of different settings. Putting together these data allows us to create a digital model which is flexible like a modeled amp and realistic like a captured amp.
