๐ŸŽธ Sir Badge 18 Ultimate Tone Model Collection

Based on the Suhr Badger 18

 

This Tone Model Collection captures the lively, versatile tone of an amp based on the Suhr Badger 18 โ€” a boutique favorite known for its expressive Class A response, touch sensitivity, and smooth transition from clean to saturated gain.

 

The tone models were captured through a 12โ€ Celestion G12M-65 Creamback speaker, micโ€™d with a Beyerdynamic M160 ribbon mic into a Cranborne Camden 500 mic preamp, preserving the ampโ€™s dynamic character and warm harmonic profile.


The collection also includes Direct (amp-only) captures so you can pair them with your preferred IRs or speaker cabinets, along with a bonus custom IR of a Vintage 30-loaded cab for auditioning the DI models (baked into the DI tone model preset).

 

๐Ÿ“ฆ Included in This Collection:

  • 6 Amp+Cab Tone Models

  • 6 Direct (Amp-Only) Tone Models

  • Bonus Custom IR (Vintage 30 Cab) (baked into the DI tone model presets)

 

๐Ÿ”  Naming Format:
Tone Models follow this structure:
JS Sir Badge 18 Ult (DI) [Gain Stage] [Level]

    •  

  • Level (x):
