Preset Details

OVERVIEW

These premium ToneX amp captures come straight from John Meding’s personal workhorse studio amplifier—the Morgan Abbey from Morgan Custom Shop. A classic Class A cathode-biased EL84 amp, the Morgan Abbey embodies the rich heritage of the vintage British “top boost” design, delivering harmonically rich cleans and dynamic, responsive drive tones.

This collection includes both clean and dirty captures, offering flexibility for use with your own IRs or alternate cabinets. Additionally, we've included fully mic’d captures featuring industry-standard microphones—the Shure™ 545SD and Shure™ SM57—paired with the Celestion™ G12 Vintage 30, one of John’s all-time favorite 1x12 speakers.

Each preset is meticulously crafted to bring out the best in the Morgan Abbey, whether you’re after sparkling cleans, edge-of-breakup warmth, or full-bodied drive tones.
