🎸 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 — 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 12” Celestion G12M-65 Creamback speaker, mic’d with a Beyerdynamic M160 ribbon mic into a Cranborne Camden 500 mic preamp, preserving the amp’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).
 
📦 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)
 
🔠 Naming Format:
Tone Models follow this structure:
JS Sir Badge 18 Ult (DI) [Gain Stage] [Level]
📌 Example: JS Sir Badge 18 Ult Push 2 or JS Sir Badge 18 DI OD 1
Gain Stage (xxxx):
Clean – Amp set for maximum clean headroom
Push 1 – Light breakup, edge-of-breakup tones
Push 2 – Higher gain than Push 1, with thicker drive
OD 1 – Overdrive tones with more saturation than Push 2
OD 2 – Even higher gain than OD 1
OD 3 – Maximum gain, utilizing the amp’s built-in MOSFET Boost
 
Level (x):
