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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasically, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEMPER KEY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB - BRIGHT SWITCH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1963 FENDER BLONDE BASSMAN COMBO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 KEMPER PROFILES, 1 HELIX PATCH WITH A TONE MATCHED IR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 1963 Fender Blonde Bassman head I purchased after it was converted into a combo amp.

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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEMPER KEY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eB - BRIGHT CHANNEL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eN - NORMAL CHANNEL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJ - NORMAL \u0026amp; BRIGHT CHANNELS JUMPED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e+ - $500K KLON\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMARSHALL JCM 800\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 KEMPER PROFILES, 1 HELIX PATCH WITH A TONE MATCHED IR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ve had a few JCM800s, and this one feels magical.

(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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEMPER KEY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e+ - $500K KLON\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTS - 1984 IBANEZ TS808\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGIBSON SKYLARK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 KEMPER PROFILES, 1 HELIX PATCH WITH A TONE MATCHED IR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e** 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. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JHS Pedals","offers":[{"title":"TONEX","offer_id":46616730075236,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Helix \/ HX Stomp","offer_id":42416080027748,"sku":"","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kemper","offer_id":42416079994980,"sku":"","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/7122\/9028\/files\/Software_Box_Mockup_JHS-3.png?v=1714057261","url":"https:\/\/jhspedals.mom\/products\/joshs-favorite-amps-helix","provider":"JHS Pedals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
