A playable guitar or bass tone, made for your gear and your target sound.

You pick your platform (modeler, plug-in, IR slot, or NAM profile target) and turnaround at checkout. After purchase you get a private upload link and a short brief form: target sound, references, guitar/tuning details, and ideally a clean DI of your real playing. I dial a custom preset, check it against monitoring and translation references, and send back a single preset file with a short loading note.

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.

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.

Strongly recommended, not strictly required. A clean DI of your real playing (WAV, 48 kHz / 24-bit or higher) is the single biggest factor in getting a preset that reacts to your fingers — pickups, attack, palm-mute weight, and bend behaviour all come through. Without a DI I dial against generic riffs and references, which works but won't be as tailored to your touch.

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.

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.

Every delivery includes a short loading note tailored to your platform — which folder, which import tool (Fractal-Bot, Axe-Edit, HX Edit, Cortex Control, Rig Manager, ToneX, native plug-in preset browser, WAV IR loader, NAM Player, etc.), and any global settings you should check. If something isn't loading, I'll help over email.

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.

We refine until you're 100% happy. Notes should be itemised in a single message — what should be tighter, brighter, darker, more open, more aggressive, etc. There's no extra charge — we keep refining until you're happy.

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.
