How we Roll Production Evolved.png

PP-EL34HD aims to faithfully capture the sound of an EL-34 power amplifier in a set of profiles you can load into the Neural Amp Modeller plugin or any other compatible device or plugin.

 

Why You Need Power Amp Profiles

 

In a true guitar amplifier, there are two critical sections: the preamp and the power amp. While the preamp shapes your guitar’s basic tone, it’s the power amp that brings the sound to life – adding depth, warmth, and the coveted “amp in the zone” effect. This “magic” happens when a valve power amp is driven hard, producing compression, even-order harmonics, and non-linear saturation that makes the tone feel rich and immersive.

 

However, achieving this authentic sound has traditionally required extreme volume levels, making it impractical in most settings. Additionally, many modern amps and digital profiles combine the preamp and power amp into a single model, often missing the individual tonal characteristics of each stage. Not all amp models are created equal, and failing to model these stages independently can result in a flattened tone that lacks the dynamic response of a real amp.

 

Technology to the Rescue

With Neutron PowerPack profiles, powered by the Neural Amp Modeler, you get separate, non-linear profiles of the power amp stage, capturing its independent characteristics without requiring ear-splitting volume levels. This ensures that the unique compression, harmonic saturation, and presence control of a true valve power amp are faithfully reproduced. By loading these profiles in your DAW or plugin host, you can finally recreate the full, nuanced tone of a vintage amp at any volume – preserving your hearing and extending the life of your actual amp.

 

What’s Included:

  • 10 NAM Profiles of a 6L6 power stage, captured at 2 volume levels and 5 presence settings for a wide range of tonal flexibility.
  • 3 Preamp Profiles from classic amps (Clean, Crunch, and Lead): Fender Twin, Marshall JCM800, and Soldano SLO.
  • 4 Quantum Speaker Profiles featuring different cabinet types (Vintage 4x12, Modern 4x12, Open-Back 2x12, Open-Back 1x12).
  • 3 Additional Filter IRs to customize your Quantum Speaker sound further.

 

For Use with a Real Amp: For the best results when using Neutron PowerPack profiles with a real amplifier, you should:

  • Use the preamp-only signal by connecting to the effects loop send of your amp (or any line-level preamp output). This prevents overlapping with your amp’s power stage, ensuring the PowerPack profile provides the complete power amp tone.
  • Keep your amp on standby if only using its preamp section, which reduces strain on the power tubes and extends their life. Using the profiles this way delivers the tone of a cranked power amp without the volume.

 

Why Choose Neutron PowerPack Profiles?

  • True Separation for Authentic Sound: Modeling the preamp and power amp separately captures the independent tone-shaping characteristics of each. This results in a more natural, dynamic tone that feels like playing a real amp cranked to its sweet spot.

  • Unmatched Realism: By isolating the power amp’s role, these profiles reproduce the subtle compression, harmonics, and non-linear characteristics that define vintage tones, bringing you closer to the true “loud amp sound” than ever before.

  • Endless Tonal Possibilities: Create custom sounds by pairing different preamps with power amp profiles. Imagine a Fender Tweed Deluxe preamp running through an EL34 power stage – with Neutron PowerPacks, your tonal combinations are limitless.

  • Perfect for Preamp Pedals and Amp Sims: Enhance any modern preamp pedal with the authenticity of a real power amp, adding depth and dimension that only a properly profiled power stage can deliver.

 

With Neutron PowerPack profiles, you’re not just playing an amp – you’re experiencing the meticulous detail that only separate modeling of each stage can provide. Discover legendary tone with the richness, responsiveness, and authenticity of a vintage amp, all without the ear-splitting volume or the wear and tear on your gear.

 

Rediscover the magic of high-volume power amps – anywhere, anytime, and with the ultimate in tonal flexibility.
