JS CheefTan Ultimate and DI Proxy Clones + Presets
 
The JS CheefTan Ultimate and DI Proxy Clones + Presets are based on the Matchless Chieftain amplifier — one of the most highly regarded boutique Class A amplifiers ever created.
 
Known for its rich harmonic complexity, dynamic feel, chime, compression, and touch-sensitive response, the Chieftain delivers everything from lush dimensional cleans to harmonically saturated overdrive.
 
This Helix Stadium collection captures the full tonal range of the amp across both the High and Low inputs, providing an incredibly versatile range of tones and feel.
 
Included in this Collection
24 Proxy Clones
12 Amp + Cab Clones
12 DI (Amp-Only) Clones
 
2 Performance Presets
1 preset for Amp + Cab Clones
1 preset for DI Clones using stock Helix Stadium cab blocks
 
Each preset includes:
Multiple selectable/swappable Proxy Clones
4 snapshots
Full FX signal chain
Performance-ready layout for recording, practice, and live use
 
The Amp + Cab captures were created through the Chieftain’s built-in 1x12 cabinet loaded with a Celestion G12H-75 Creamback speaker.
 
Both the High and Low inputs are represented across six gain levels:
1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 • 6
 
This provides a smooth tonal progression from open boutique cleans and edge-of-breakup textures to rich, harmonically dense overdrive.
 
The DI preset is designed for maximum flexibility and can easily be paired with your favorite IRs or cab choices inside Helix Stadium.
