Custom guitar tone preset

A guitar or bass tone built for your gear and your reference.

Send your modeler, plug-in, IR slot or NAM target, plus references and ideally a clean DI. I build a preset, IR or profile around your guitar, tuning and target sound, then check it in a practical mix context.

Pick the deliverable

Full modeler / plug-in preset, or just a cabinet capture.

Two tracks for two situations. One delivers a full preset — every stage of the chain dialled for your specific unit, plug-in, or NAM host. The other narrows in on the cabinet side as a custom WAV IR you load into any IR-capable host. Pick what your rig actually needs.

Engineered cabinet capture

Custom WAV IR

From 2.879 Kč

Your amp tone is already there — the speaker/cabinet side is what's missing. Get a custom WAV IR engineered with modern IR design tools, with every layer of cab character, mic angle, and room feel shaped intentionally to your reference or vision.

  • WAV IR format - drop into any modeler, plug-in, or DAW IR loader
  • Engineered with modern IR design tools — every layer of cab character, mic angle, and room feel shaped intentionally
  • Dialled to your reference or vision - send what you want it to sound like, I match it parameter by parameter
  • Refinement pass included - send a reference clip or notes, get the IR re-shaped until it sits in your mix
  • Raw amp track required - a clean recording (DI through your modeler/plug-in with cab/IR bypassed) so the IR can do its job
  • Pure digital signal path — clean, repeatable, tweakable down to the last parameter
  • Streamlined software pipeline keeps the price point below a full preset
  • Delivered as one or more files with a short loading note

What's in the preset

A balanced, playable tone — every piece chosen on purpose.

This is not a preset-bank export. The tone is dialled around your gear, guitar, tuning, DI and references, then checked in a real mix context before delivery.

Amp model picked for the part

Amp choice follows the reference and the role of the part: clean, crunch, lead, modern high-gain, bass or something more specific.

Gain that fits the part

Enough sustain and aggression for the genre, without turning every riff into noise. Tightness checked against palm mutes, not just open chords.

Noise gate tuned to your playing

Threshold, attack, release and hold dialled so the gate is part of the feel — not a brick wall that cuts off note tails or chokes fast picking.

EQ that sits in a mix

Pre and post EQ shaped so the guitar cuts through without harsh fizz or blanket-like darkness. Mids that actually live with vocals.

Cab/IR matched to the tone

Speaker model or impulse response is part of the design — not an afterthought. Selected and tuned so it carries the part in a mix, not just to flatter the amp in isolation.

Custom WAV IR or NAM profile

If your rig already nails the amp side, order a Custom WAV IR — a cabinet/mic impulse response you drop into any IR-capable host (modeler, plug-in, or DAW IR loader). If you want a fresh amp tone for a NAM-capable host (Quad Cortex, Neural Amp Modeler plug-in, etc.), order a Custom NAM profile instead — it acts as the amp model itself, and can be amp-only or amp+cab depending on what you ask for.

Practical output level

Global output set sensibly so the preset can be used in a session, live rig, or DAW chain without surprise level jumps.

Built against references

Reference songs and your DI guide the tone. It is checked across monitors, headphones and a phone before delivery.

Delivered native

Whatever format your platform uses: .syx, .preset, .kemper, .nam, plug-in preset file or WAV IR. A short loading note tells you exactly where it goes.

Workflow

From your reference and DI to a finished, playable preset.

You send the target, platform and DI. I build the tone and deliver the preset, IR or profile file with loading notes.

  1. Choose your platform

    Choose the exact modeler, profiler, plug-in, IR slot or NAM host, then pick the deliverable: full preset, Custom WAV IR or Custom NAM profile.

  2. Send references and notes

    Describe the target sound: artists, songs, sections you love. Include tuning, guitar, pickups, genre, and whether the preset is for rhythm, lead, clean, bass, or all of them.

  3. Send a DI if possible

    A clean DI of your real playing helps the preset react to your pickups, attack, palm mutes and tuning instead of being dialled only against generic test material. WAV at 48 kHz / 24-bit or higher is ideal.

  4. Receive your custom preset

    The tone is checked against monitoring, headphones and mix translation references, then delivered with a short loading note for your unit or plug-in.

Studio context

Dialled on real hardware and against practical monitoring references.

Presets are built inside the units, plug-ins and capture formats they are meant for. The goal is a tone that works in your rig and in a mix, not only in isolation.

Frequently asked

Before you order.

If your platform or target sound is unusual, send a short brief before ordering. It is better to confirm the format and scope before the tone is in the queue.

Ask before you order

I reply within one business day. DI files, references, and any unreleased material stay confidential.

How does it actually work?

You pick the platform and turnaround at checkout. After purchase you get upload instructions and a short brief form for target sound, references, guitar, tuning and DI. I build the preset, IR or profile, check it against practical references and deliver the native file with loading notes.

Which platforms are supported?

Hardware modelers and profilers: Fractal Axe-Fx III MKII, Fractal FM3/FM9, Fractal Axe-Fx II XL+, Neural DSP Quad Cortex, Fender Tone Master Pro, Line 6 Helix, Line 6 POD Go, HeadRush MX5 (Pedalboard & Gigboard compatible), Boss GT-1000CORE (GT-1000 compatible), IK Multimedia ToneX Pedal, Kemper Profiler (all models including Player), HoTone Ampero, NUX MG-30, Valeton GP-5. Plus: any guitar amp sim plug-in inside your DAW, Custom WAV IR, and Custom NAM profile.

What's the difference between a full preset and a Custom WAV IR / NAM profile?

A full preset is the complete chain — amp model, gain staging, EQ, noise gate, cabinet, IR, and any post-processing — saved as a single preset (or scene) for your specific unit or plug-in. Load it, play it.

A Custom NAM Profile is a neural capture of an amplifier (and optionally the speaker/cab signal path together). You load it into NAM-capable hardware (Quad Cortex and others) or the free Neural Amp Modeler plug-in — it acts as the amp model itself. Depending on what you ask for, the profile can be amp-only (add your own cab/IR after it) or full amp+cab (use it as a complete tone).

A Custom WAV IR is a cabinet/mic impulse response — it sits at the cab stage of the chain only. You still need an amp model upstream (in your unit or in a plug-in) for the WAV IR to colour.

Pick the full preset when your unit is doing the whole chain. Pick a NAM profile when you want a bespoke amp tone (or amp+cab combo) dropped into any NAM host. Pick a WAV IR when your amp tone is already where you want it and only the cab side needs custom work.

Do I have to send a DI?

A clean DI is strongly recommended. It lets the preset react to your pickups, attack, palm mutes and tuning instead of being dialled only against generic test material. WAV at 48 kHz / 24-bit or higher is ideal.

What genres and styles do you cover?

Rock, metal (classic to modern), djent, progressive, hardcore, post-rock and atmospheric, pop-punk, blues, country, indie, ambient, fusion, and clean rhythm/lead work for pop and singer-songwriter productions. Bass tones are supported too — 4, 5, 6-string, Dingwall, Evertune. If you want a specific reference artist or song, point at it directly in the brief.

Does my guitar (or pickups, tuning) matter?

Yes — significantly. 7-string, 8-string, baritone, Evertune, Fishman Fluence, classic humbuckers, single coils, P90s, Telecaster bridge, Strat bridge, and similar all need different EQ and gain staging to sit well. Tuning matters too: drop A is not drop D. Tell me in the brief what guitar, pickup set, and tuning the preset is for.

How do I load the preset on my unit?

Every delivery includes a short loading note for your platform: import tool, folder, preset slot or IR/NAM loader, plus any global settings worth checking. If something does not load, email me with the details.

How long does it take?

Standard delivery is approximately 2 months from a full brief, DI, and references received. Rush service is approximately 2 weeks. Exact ETA is confirmed once the scope is agreed.

How many revisions are included?

Revision rounds are included before final delivery. Send notes in one clear message: tighter, brighter, darker, more open, more aggressive, less gain, more bite or closer to a specific reference.

How is the preset delivered?

Private download link with the preset file in its native format for your platform (.syx for Fractal, plug-in preset for amp sims, .kemper for Kemper, .nam for NAM, .wav for IRs, and so on), plus a short PDF or text note with loading instructions and any recommended global settings.

Ready for your tone?

Get a tone that fits your gear.

One platform, one brief, ideally one DI, and a custom preset, IR or profile built around the way you actually play.
