This ‘86 American Vintage ‘57 Reissue Strat is hands down the best Strat I’ve ever played… but the bridge position, like on all SSS Strats, has always had me reaching for a Tele or something thicker until now. I wired in a Fralin Split Steel Pole bridge pickup last month and it is UNREAL🎸🔥❤️ I’d put this bridge pickup against any P90 or lower wind humbucker on the market. Lindy Fralin Pickups

It’s been awhile! This one looks a little more like a maintenance update with a few tweaks to me… plus some added plug-in compatibility 

We’re pleased to announce that CorOS 3.2.0 and Cortex Control 1.3.0 are now available.

Some great stuff on the horizon. The metronome looks great and new plugin compatability for our plugin peeps🎸💥🤠

This article covers the upcoming CorOS 3.1.1 update, which will include ESS Codec support, and previews what’s planned for CorOS 3.2.0.

How many of you have used the C414 on amps before and what was your experience with it?

I was capturing this USA made Blues Deluxe with a friend’s C414 and really loved how well it captured this amp. Tried a bunch of my usual mics and liked them, but this was my favorite on this particular amp.

Some super juicy tones coming for the QC from this beast soon🎸🤠💥

Have loved this incredible 1967 monster, but it’s time to move it on… feel free to hit me up if you’re in the area and could use something like this 🎸🔥‼️

(also comes with a loaded 2x10 Mather Combo cab that the Bandmaster amp chassis and reverb tank can mount into for an amazing grab and go rig)

A 1964 “Vibro-Vox” 🤯💥🎸🤠? Small iron meets big iron with these two 1964 classics paired in this stereo exotic preset.

This NEW 1964 Pre-CBS Fender Super Reverb preset and 30 full capture pack is incredible and pairs equally well with HUMBUCKERS or SINGLE COILS (heard here with my ES-335 with SD Seth Lovers and my custom "Strele-caster" with Lambertone Blondie/Triple Shots)

If you like our flagship 1966 Fender Super Reverb pack, you will flip over our new 1964 Pre-CBS Super Reverb with CTS Alnicos preset and captures. We've gone way further on this pack, increasing mic and preamp options as well as 6 optimized captures at each of the 5 different gain levels (clean, edge of breakup, breakup, overdriven and cranked). This amp is particularly special with all original circuitry and NOS Mullard, RCA and GE glass.

Compared to our 1966 SR pack, this 1964 SR pack is more pristine with more top end sparkle and a tighter low end with a mid-range that is legendary.

If you'd like to hear all 30 raw amp captures, you can check them out anytime here: https://youtu.be/tpxo8oFztpg?si=MZ3W70cbT7dChZEJ

You can grab your pack starting TODAY right here: https://the-tone-ranger.com/ols/products/1964-pre-cbs-super-reverb-wcts-alnicos-premium-preset-and-capture-pack-for-quad-cortex
