ACE THIRTY BLUE - NAM COMPLETE PACK
This professional NAM capture pack recreates the iconic tone of the Vox AC30, paired with the legendary Celestion Alnico Blue speakers. Carefully recorded in a studio environment and optimized for Neural Amp Modeler, these captures deliver the classic British chime, harmonic richness, and dynamic response that made the AC30 one of the most recorded guitar amps in history.
Expect shimmering top-end sparkle, rich harmonic complexity, and the smooth, musical breakup that the AC30 is famous for. The captures respond naturally to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes, making them ideal for expressive playing.
Microphone Setup
The cabinet was recorded using a four-microphone studio configuration to capture the full tonal character of the Alnico Blue speakers:
Shure SM57 – classic presence and focused midrange bite
Royer R-121 – warm low end with smooth high frequencies
Sennheiser MD 421 N – punchy low-mid body and depth
Shure SM7B – thicker midrange and controlled top end
A multi-mic blended capture is included, delivering a balanced, mix-ready tone that highlights the classic AC30 character.
Individual Microphone Captures
For maximum flexibility, the pack also includes individual NAM captures for each microphone so users can choose their preferred tonal flavor:
SM57 – bright, focused, and cutting
R-121 – smooth, warm, and vintage
MD421 – full, punchy, and balanced
SM7B – thicker and darker midrange tone
Impulse Responses Included
In addition to the NAM captures, the pack also includes Impulse Responses (IRs) of each microphone configuration. These IRs allow you to recreate the same cabinet tones with other amp modelers or combine them with the included DI capture.
Included IRs
SM57 cabinet IR
R-121 cabinet IR
MD421 cabinet IR

Room Ambience
Subtle room ambience was added using the Universal Audio OX Amp Top Box with the Neumann U67 room mic model, providing natural studio depth while keeping the core cabinet tone clear and defined.

A DI capture of the amp head is also included. This allows users to pair the raw amp tone with their own cabinet impulse responses or the included IRs for maximum flexibility.
