🎸 Mars 74x Ultimate Tone Model Collection
Based on the Handwired Marshall 1974x
 
This Tone Model Collection captures the vintage soul and raw British character of an amp based on the handwired Marshall 1974x — a 1x12” combo famous for its dynamic edge-of-breakup tones, organic midrange, and smooth overdrive when pushed.
 
The captures were meticulously made through the combo’s original 1x12 Celestion Heritage G12M-20 "Aged" Greenback speaker, mic’d with a Royer R-10 ribbon mic to preserve the amp’s natural warmth, detail, and dynamic response.

The collection includes both Amp+Cab Tone Models and Direct (amp-only) Tone Models, offering full flexibility whether you prefer a baked-in vintage flavor or pairing with your own favorite IRs or cabs.
 
📦 Included in This Collection:
7 Amp+Cab Tone Models
7 Direct (Amp-Only) Tone Models
 
🔠 Naming Format:
Tone Models follow this structure:
JS Mars 74x Ult [Gain Stage] [Level] [Input]
📌 Example: JS Mars 74x Ult Push 2 ii
Gain Stage (Clean/Push):
Clean – Amp set for maximum clean headroom
Push 1 – Light breakup tone captured from Input i or ii
Push 2 – Higher gain than Push 1, with thicker drive
Push 3 – Further gain increase compared to Push 2
Level (x):
Indicates the specific gain level within each gain stage.
Input Notation (i or ii):
i = Input I (higher output, slightly brighter)
ii = Input II (lower output, darker and smoother)
DI Notation:
If the name includes "DI," it denotes a Direct Amp-Only Capture with no cab baked in.
Important:
The DI Tone Models will require a cab or IR to sound correct.
