Valve Theory SDK - The Stoner's Destruction Kit

CLIPS available on the pic (use arrows )

This pack is dedicated to Psychedelic & Stoner music but also rock music of course.

Valve theory tries to provide the best profiles & rigs for recording and get a real amp feel.

VT-SDK JCM800 chunky rhythm : this is the original profile that started me doing the SDK pack, it's a real gem, that original JCM800 is a single channel one with a killer growl and I managed to profile it right using the studio's facility, with great success. The bite from this one is awesome, and probably my favorite JCM800 from all the kemper community commercial & public. Try it on a Les Paul & you should get an instant gratification, works also great on a single coiled guitar.

VT-SDK Killer Lead POT : this one was tailored for lead work, but I managed to get a perfect gain course, you can get some superb cleans & crunch rhythm tones just by the guitar volume pot, that's why you see POT in the name of this profile, to remind you this excellent quality and amp like behavior.

VT-SDK Roto Clean

VT-SDK Roto Clean 2 : these two ones are my best attempts to reproduce modulations FX especially the rotovibe FX, I've tried for years to find settings that could match my Dry Bell Vibe machine, and I finally managed to do so & in stereo. Number 2 is very close to Soundgarden's Black hole sun and other classic tracks.

VT-SDK jcm 69 Fuzz high

VT-SDK jcm 69 Fuzz hint

VT-SDK jcm 69 Fuzz quart : this is my own fulltone MKII 69 germanium pedal with the most usable settings in front of the JCM800 preamp. It's very close to what you could expect IRL, 3 degrees of gain and a killer 90's hardcore rhythm rock vibe if you ask me. Add the provided FX lead delay and you'll get the MKII singing.

VT-SDK jcm Hi colorfuzz

VT-SDK jcm light colorfuzz : this french germanium boutique (mine is number 7) fuzz is really unique with so many settings and usage, but I managed to get it's color right on these profiles, mostly for lead work. Much better to my ears than the Kemper fuzz.

VT-SDK acoustic amp & folk sim : another surprise , the AMT SS11 work great as an acoustic amp, so don't search anymore for a great folk tone for your intros , just grab a strat use mid pickup, reduce it's volume to 5 and here you go , with severall tonal options & FX as your disposal. Works great on a mix.

VT-SDK Fuzz Rhythm

VT-SDK Fuzz Rhythm bassy riffs

VT-SDK Fuzz dying Bat : these ones are based on the classic SF300 , silicium based fuzz, quite the opposite of the MKII & colorfuzz , they have no subtility but a huge 'in your face' tone. Bassy riff has the transpose activated, for you to play heavy lines on the low E string for these classic stoner vibes. Dying bat is a profile I made while the internal battery was dying, and to my surprise it's very usable for fills & leads, especially with the flanger FX activated, gives a really cool toy to play with, especially on humbuckers. It's very chewy and adds some weirdness to my tracks.

 VT-SDK AC 30 Rhythm 

 VT-SDK AC 30 Rhythm 2

 VT-SDK AC30 Clean

 VT-SDK AC30 Crunch & Rhythm : classic amp , classic tones in spades, very sensitive to guitar volume. This vox has a a distinctive vintage vibe that I really like for crunch, rhythm & clean work: chime & bells , easy to mix.
