GFHG Tonex Worship Essentials: Drives

Price range: $15.00 through $69.99

SKU: N/A Category:

This pack includes 27 captures and is built to walk you through the gain stages—from clean boost to medium gain—using some of the best drive pedals from the last 15+ years, and the ones I’ve personally leaned on the most.

All drives are dialed how I prefer them to be. I play them into amps/amp simulators at the edge of breakup for best results, but don’t feel locked into that. Try moving the gain, treble, and presence around—especially in that 3 to 6 range. The captures hold their character really well within that range, so you can shape them to fit your pickups and how you run your amp.

What’s Included

BOOST/LOW GAIN

Greer Amps Lightspeed – the low gain wonder for just a little more hair.
Jackson Audio Prism – one of my favorite clean boosts of all time. Has some nice sizzle.
SOJ KDSD-3 Preamp – The Edge is known for this preamp. Great one here!
SoloDallas Storm – a great preamp/drive that provides body.
Tone Ranger Prickly Pear – a great preamp meant to add some sparkle. Back the gain down to -11.6 for what I consider its signature tone. At 0, it’s adding quite a lot of hair and sounds amazing that way as well.
XACT Tone Solutions GE-7 Mod – an awesome EQ pedal that I use as a boost.
Xotic Effects RC Booster – one of the best boost pedals of all time.

LOW/MEDIUM GAIN

Analogman King of Tone Red (kind of medium gain) – everyone knows what this is.
Analogman King of Tone Yellow – everyone knows what this is.
Benson Preamp (original gain version) – one of my favorite pedals. Benson changed the gain structure of these at some point. My older one has a ton of gain on tap, and I love it.
Case Study Last Light – It’s capable of the flubby fuzz stuff, but I don’t like the way it sounds. Where this one shines to me is with the gain barely cracked, adding bite and clarity with a bit of pent-up aggression.
JHS SuperBolt I – low gain setting. All the fluffy goodness of the SuperBolt.
Lauren Audio Mustang – I captured this one gainier than I normally use it, but if you back the gain down to 2–3, it’s right at the sweet spot. I also like the more gained-out tone, so keep it at 5 for some sizzle.
NRG Effects Purrer – low to medium gain is this one’s strength. At 0, it’s close to medium gain. Back the gain down to -8.2 for a wonderful low gain setting.
Shnobel Tone Daily Driver – my favorite low–medium gain drive.
SoloDallas CD65 – bright and open drive sound.

MEDIUM GAIN

Analog Man King of Tone Red and Yellow Together – so good.
Case Study Aspen Overdrive – a modern classic for medium gain stuff. So good.
JHS Kilt V1 (Cut Mode) – Cut switch activated for a more open sound.
JHS Kilt V1 (Flat Mode) – Flat switch activated for a fuller sound.
JHS SuperBolt II – medium gain setting. All the fluffy goodness of the SuperBolt.
NRG Effects Purrer (Boost Engaged)
Shnobel Tone Daily Driver (Boost Engaged)

Input Trim: I’ve been enjoying the input trim between +1 and +2.5.

What Others Are Saying

Hey Troy, I just wanted to follow up about the Tonex profiles I ordered from you! I was using the Vox AC 30 with the Benson Chimera combo patch. It sounded so good! I was extremely pleased with my tone this morning. I especially liked the “B” profiles. I was switching between 70/30 to the Vox and 30/70 to the Benson. Absolutely wonderful! You did a great job! Thanks so much!

I really like the clarity you’ve captured in these amps. With some captures, you still get a little noise or extra saturation, but yours are just very clean and clear.

The response is really good too. Some captures don’t make it feel like the amp is in the room with you, which is really hard to duplicate in a digital setup, but you’ve been able to do that.

I can run these captures with any of my guitars — my Strat, Les Paul, PRS McCarty or PRS CE24 — and they fit and respond really well. Between your captures and what I’m running on the Helix, it’s pretty magical. It’s hard to believe that kind of response can be done digitally.

I’ve been looking for a great capture of this amp and I’ve finally found it. Several have come close, but the way you captured these with all the options is fantastic! Only thing I would like more on this is if there was a blended channel capture. Fantastic job on these! God bless!

This is an excellent combination and sounds just like what I have in my head for this combo. Plenty of chime and great low end feel as well. There are also plenty of options to match your guitar. Top 3 captures for my ToneX! Keep up the great work.
