7 AMPS, 81 KEMPER PROFILES, AND TONE MATCHED IR’S ON HELIX PLATFORMS. Need Fender cleans? Got it. Chimey AC30 tones? Check. Marshall grind? Nailed it. Small-amp-about-to-explode kind of sounds? Duh. $500k Klon and vintage Ibanez TS808 sounds, too? It wouldn’t be JHS without them! There’s very little ground this pack can’t cover. And they’re Josh’s favorites, so really you can’t go wrong. 1993 FENDER BLUES DELUXE 8 KEMPER PROFILES, 1 HELIX PATCH WITH A TONE MATCHED IR. This is a 1993 Tweed Fender Blues Deluxe I purchased at a pawn shop in Louisiana sometime around 2004. This is the most used amp in my collection. I’ve played hundreds of live shows and studio sessions with it. I designed the first ten years of JHS products on this amp, and I gauge everything by this amp, simply because I’m so familiar with it. It’s the quintessential clean Fender sound that I’ve grown accustomed to. Basically, if you’ve heard a JHS pedal, you’ve heard the influence of this particular Fender Blues Deluxe amp. It has beautiful clean tones and the ability to make any dirt pedal sit perfectly in a mix.  KEMPER KEY B - BRIGHT SWITCH 1963 FENDER BLONDE BASSMAN COMBO 8 KEMPER PROFILES, 1 HELIX PATCH WITH A TONE MATCHED IR. This is a 1963 Fender Blonde Bassman head I purchased after it was converted into a combo amp. It’s my favorite Bassman I own, and the amp I used for the first year of the JHS Show. It gives you massively clean tones and tons of low end response, especially on the bass channel.   1963 VOX AC30 20 KEMPER PROFILES, 3 HELIX PATCHES WITH 3 TONE MATCHED IR’S. Of all the AC30s I’ve ever owned, this is my favorite. It’s an original 1963 JMI (Jennings Musical Instruments) Vox AC30. It has the aftermarket top boost modification and is the perfect vintage AC30 tone. No other amp can beat the AC30’s sparkly tones, and the distortion tones are truly magical.  KEMPER KEY B - BRIGHT CHANNEL N - NORMAL CHANNEL J - NORMAL & BRIGHT CHANNELS JUMPED + - $500K KLON   MARSHALL JCM 800 12 KEMPER PROFILES, 1 HELIX PATCH WITH A TONE MATCHED IR. I’ve had a few JCM800s, and this one feels magical. Amazing high gain with really great articulation. You gotta have a JCM 800!  KEMPER KEY TS - 1984 IBANEZ TS808   SOVTEK MIG 50 JOSH'S #1 10 KEMPER PROFILES, 1 HELIX PATCH WITH A TONE MATCHED IR. I have owned multiple Mig 50 amps, but this is my all time favorite. I’ve played so many gigs and sessions with this amp, and I’m super excited to offer it in these profiles! We’ve profiled this using the original 1990s Sovtek speaker cabinets that would have come with these amps. If you love the tone of a Bassman and a Plexi, this is your dream come true.  KEMPER KEY + - $500K KLON TS - 1984 IBANEZ TS808   SOVTEK MIG 50 JOSH'S TONE 3 KEMPER PROFILES, 1 HELIX PATCH WITH A TONE MATCHED IR. This is the same amp as the “Sovtek Mig 50 Josh’s #1,” but profiled using a custom 212 cabinet instead. I had this made for me in the mid-2000s and it features two extremely broken-in Celestion Vintage 30 speakers and a Morning Glory. If I had a signature sound, this would be it.   SEARS TWIN TWELVE 1484 17 KEMPER PROFILES, 2 HELIX PATCHES WITH 2 TONE MATCHED IR’S. This is my favorite old catalog amp I have ever owned; a 60-watt amplifier released by Sears in 1963. (You can think of the Sears catalog as a low-tech version of Amazon.) After a guitarist ordered this amp, it would show up at their door within a few weeks and transport them to rock ‘n’ roll heaven. It’s a quirky amp that has been used by Jack White, Beck, Coldplay and Death Cab for Cutie.Big cleans, gritty dirt, or almost fuzzed out rage.  KEMPER KEY + - $500K KLON TS - 1984 IBANEZ TS808   GIBSON SKYLARK 3 KEMPER PROFILES, 1 HELIX PATCH WITH A TONE MATCHED IR. This Gibson amp came out in the early sixties and featured a unique ten-inch speaker instead of the traditional twelve-inch we commonly see in guitar amps. I love how it breaks up and how it responds to pedals. The overdrive is really unique for an amp of this era, making it one of my go-to’s for a unique amp that can still produce the classic sounds that fit any genre.   ** Kemper / Helix Amp Packs are digital software products.  All sales are non-returnable, non-refundable, and final.  These products only work with the Kemper or Helix platforms.
