FNDR BLBM 1964

Amazing, do it all captures!

If I had to play one capture pack for the rest of my days, this would be it hands down. The pack has so much versatility and sounds incredible. Just get it already

Unbelievable!

These tones are so fantastic, I am blown away by the clarity of your captures. Hearing these tones has made playing that much more enjoyable.

Rock N Roll

Get your Setzer on. Digging these captures for classic and 80’s revival Rock N Roll tones. Make sure you dial in some healthy spring reverb and / or slap back delay for maximum authenticity. Great for other genres too of course.

Old days coming back

I had a bandmaster way back in time. Gigging with it till my back hurts. Sold it. But now its back. Expect lots of fender cleans.

Superb

Great Captures, great Sound!Feels and sounds like the real thing. Highly recommended!

My favorite.

This was the first amp model I could ever bond with. Superb cleans that aren’t sterile in the slightest. These old big iron Fenders get seriously nasty when pushed and something like a DOD250 between your guitar and interface will get you into brutal high gain if you want. I love the Jensen speaker captures included, they match perfectly as do all the Amalgam captures. A real workhorse capture set and one that I cherish.

Brilliant - thanks for bringing the sound of a Bassman to life

Awesome ...

Nice tweedy Fender sounds

Great sound, especially on the edge-of-breakup and light crunch settings.

Love a bassman, thanks for supporting NAM

Karlis makes really good captures. Don't worry about quality. I have 8 amalgam amps now. Leaving a review currently on the bassman because it's my favorite amp to play and one I'm most familiar with. I generally pan them in stereo and use slightly different captures/irs to get rich sound either doubled or running same part through L/R field. I typically use with York IRs, but will say the EV12L IR included with this set helps produce a completely different sound than typical speakers used on this amp - very interesting. I appreciate Karlis and amalgam putting these premium models out here to help support NAM.

My Dream Amp Captured!

I am a PhD student living in bedroom/apartment situation with no money. The Blonde Bassman has been my favorite sounding amp for years. I truly believe this Tonex capture is the closest one can get to that incredible breakup character without buying a real vintage model and cranking it up to ridiculous volume levels. This is an incredible sounding pack and it has finally gotten me to my dream guitar tone!! And I don't even have very good studio monitors! Personally, the captures with drive pedals in this pack are not for me. They sound great, and very realistic to my experiences of using Bluesbreakers and Shredmasters in the past. But pushing this amp with a pedal is not something I would typically do in a recording context. YMMV.

Top class!

All Amalgam captures are the best in the business!

Fantastic overdrive!

The quality of captures plus IR's is as always phenomenal. I did't know what should I exect from this capture since I've never played the Fender but it turned out it is one of my favorite sound! The overdrive setting is soooo good!

These captures never disappoint

I'm somewhat addicted to the amalgam captures now. This one has something very special. I got it because I made use of the 3 for 2 promo and I really wanted to get the newest Marshall cab, but I now keep coming back to this amp. The cleans are full, warm and for the lack of a better word creamy. The breakup tones are very rich and it combines the best from the other fender amps. The overdrive is a little to much for me sometimes, but it is very unique sounding. I use it for more mellow tracks and it always delivers this cozy, warm sound. As always I can't recommend amalgam captures enough. Thank you for your great work and keep the coming. Maybe a pedal collection in the future? A pack full of the best overdrive and booster pedals would be great

Fender Heaven!

I hadn’t been able to find really realistic sounding, sparkly, dynamic profiles for Tonex yet. But this is really awesome! So inspiring! I’ve been playing my Strat for hours on end, non stop… This does indeed feel and sound like a real amp. I prefer the bright channel profiles, with a little break up. Perfect! I am really happy I purchased this pack.

Sounds Amazing

MUCH better than Neural's Fender captures. It also takes pedal really well

Wow!!

Amazing....just amazing!! Perfection!

Another holy grail...

I don't know what it is with the Blonde Fender Bassman, but it has been a fixture with me for quite a while. I love Fender tones, and WOX likewise, and I'm no stranger to Marshall Plexi's either, and I've been in all those topologies IRL But let's say Fender amps is my meat and potatoes (it is...). There is a lot of ground between the tweeds and the black/silverface amps. A whole world apart, in fact. Well, between those are the brownface/blonde amps, described as just what it is: Something in between tweed and blackface. And here we have a capture set of a 1964 blonde Bassman, a 6g6-B to be excact! Now, some facts – they are general and won't go for all – but Blackface amps are mid scooped, tweed amp are not, they have a lot of mids! Blackface amps break up late, tweed amps break up early. A clean tweed tone is different from a blackface tone, and a dirty blackface tone is something else than a tweed tone. And in betwween all that, we have the brown/blonde amps. And they might have given us the best of it all. Now how does that compare with this set of captures? Well, just great! The cleans are complex, and there are more mids than in a blackface Bassman. Some like that, some don't. I like it! This bassman sounds really warm! It might be that other brown/blonde amps would sound even warmer, but this get me tickin' where blackface amps don't. I have always, in prevous reviews, said that the gain and EQ range is great. Same story goes with the blonde Bassman. For once, there is something i find strange: The normal channel is capturded in true AA style. But there is a Bass channel too, only captured in the Balanced option. I know the bass channel has been modded, and it's some kind of a Dumble mod, But these captures only come in the Balanced EQ option, and I would have wished for more options. Anyway! Thi sounds great!!

One of my Favorites for Cleans!

This is an outstanding Essential pack. The captures are rich and complex, and take pedals nicely. I highly recommend this set if you like the sound of Fender combos but also want to push things into the crunch zone. I am mainly using this set and the JTM45 Core set for most of my guitar tracks in the studio.

This One Right Here...

... is a thing of beauty. The cleans are balanced, rich, round, and full. But she'll get dirty on you as much as you can take. I think this is becoming one of my favorites along with the OD50. And the Carr Mercury. And the .......

Great tones, well worth the money!

I spend hours on ToneNET in search for high-quality vintage amp models that suit my taste and found a few that worked for me. The FNDR BLBM 1964 delivers easily the best tones that I have found anywhere so far.
