Performance Description:

The Alter Amp Works BC30 profiles are by far some of our favorites. There are few amps that are this fit for worship tones. The amp that was profiled was hand built by the legendary Mark Sampson himself. This performance features FOUR profiles that range from crystal clear clean tones, multiple gain stages, and higher gain lead tones. All presets have been meticulously dialed in with the right amount of reverbs, delays, and optional modulation in the stomp section. This performance will work for nearly any worship song that lands on your set list.

Four Profiles featured in this Performance from the Alter "Amp Works BC30 Sampson Pack"

Alter Amp Work Profile Description:

This Kemper Profile pack seeks to recreate the sound of, in our opinion, one of the greatest-sounding amps ever to exist; the Bad Cat Black Cat 30R hand built by Mark Sampson himself. After he departed from Matchless, Mark took his talents to Bad Cat and continued his legacy of building some of the world’s finest amplifiers; and his Black Cat 30R is no exception. This amp features the circuitry made famous by the Matchless DC30 with its two-channel design featuring a 12ax7 preamp and an EF86 preamp. The 12ax7 channel boasts classic British tones reminiscent of the early Vox years while the EF86 channel demonstrates its prowess with a more precussive and fatter response. To avoid being an exact copy of the Matchless DC30, Bad Cat paired these amps with their speaker which is a modded Celestion. The magic of Mark Sampson though really comes to life when you push his amplifiers. Mark was famous for modding and overloading his output transformers to allow his amps to have an incredible sweep of gain while maintaining the integrity of their definition and clarity. You can experience all of that magic in this profile pack! This pack demonstrates the wonderful cleans these types of amplifiers are known for, along with inspiring edge-of-breakup tones and also some downright gnarly goodness! If you have been following us for a little while now, you probably know that we don’t usually buy into the hype. However, in this case, the hype is worth it. This is one of our favorite amps we have ever had the privilege of capturing.
