This capture set is based on an MB MK III SRG blue stripe amplifier with a 2x6L6 powersection that delivers 60W power. The amp was fully serviced just a few days before I recorded all the output clips. Most of these captures were dialed in using a superstrat with a custom SD JB style pickup (16k unoriented Alnico 5), so if you're using low output pickups, increase the gain a bit.

With 201 unique DI (Isolated Amp Only) captures (154 complex captures), this is my biggest capture set to date. The hyper accuracy training alone took me almost a full month without breaks and that's on an extremely power-hungry RTX 4090 GPU.

My capture sets are made with the utmost attention to detail and very high quality outboard gear (Neumann MT48 audio interface, Vovox cables, Suhr/St. Rock reactive loads, Lehle P-Split III reamp box, serviced amps etc.).

The main selling points of my capture packs are:

- Very low aliasing due to a much longer training signal
- Very high quality captures with extra accuracy in the case of complex captures
- All captures are calibrated, no guesswork involved

There are also three types of captures in this set:

- Standard denoted with an "S" suffix
- ReverseXStandard denoted with an "XR" suffix (more accurate, similar CPU hit as Standard)
- Complex denoted with a "C" suffix (highest accuracy, highest CPU hit)

If your computer can handle it, go for the complex captures, otherwise XR is a reasonable alternative to the standard architecture.

Regarding the nomenclature of the captures: Each capture starts with either an L for Lead Channel, an R1 for Rhythm 1 Channel (Clean) or an R2 for Rhythm 2 Channel (crunch). I personally mainly use R1 and L.

Then you you get a brief qualitative description of the tone followed by the gain level (HG = High Gain, MG = Medium Gain, LG = Low Gain). After the gain level comes the Master Volume (MV) setting followed by the Presence (P) setting. Since this amp is very bright, I mainly stay in the 0 to 3 range. The last few characters describe the Graphic EQ setting, I mainly used the V shape in aggressive and less aggressive variations, there are also captures without the graphical EQ engage labeled as NOEQ captures.

There are also isolated preamp, poweramp and preamp into Emprss ParaQ MK2 Dlx into MB 290 poweramp type captures on top of the regular full Mark III captures.

Signal Chain: Neumann MT48 Line Output -> Lehle P-Split III Reamp Box -> MB MK III -> St. Rock React:IR (MES 4x12 V30 Impedance Curve) -> Neumann MT48 Line Input

Signal Chain Calibration: +18.1 dBu (Calibration Metadata Included)

*** IMPORTANT CALIBRATION INFORMATION ***

If you're using the newest NAM player VST, just enable the automatic gain calibration and enter your max input gain number into the little "cablirate input" window. if you want to do it manually, follow this quick guide:

- Find your audio interface's max input gain for your Hi-Z input in the manual or online

- If your max input gain number is lower than +18.1, then decrease the input gain by the difference between your max input gain and +18.1.

- If your max input gain number is higher than +18.1, then increase the input gain by the difference between your max input gain and +18.1.

Hope you enjoy this capture pack! If you have any questions or experience any problems, feel free to contact me!
