For this rig library, Choptones chose to capture the venerable Fender Concert. A tube-powered 60W amp with one clean channel and one overdrive channel, the '80s Concert is a true workhorse amp combo that has long been a favorite among funk and blues players. The sparkling clean channel resembles the sound of larger Fenders and takes pedals very well, such as those included in this library. A true hit among clean tone seeking enthusiasts, this amp is adept at mid-gain sounds through its overdrive channel, for harder, more aggressive music genres and playing styles.
