Clubman
*This capture pack is for QUAD CORTEX. Please Follow Me in the Cortex Cloud app (TheToneShepherd) and make sure you fill out the form asking for your User Name upon checkout. Please allow 2-3 days for me to transfer your products but it’s likely it’ll be much faster!
The Matchless Clubman has been described as a blend between the legendary DC30 and the Chieftain. Is this the perfect Matchless amp??? It could very well be! Featuring a pair of EL34’s and a preamp section sweetened by an EF86, this amp has both chime and girth in all the right ways.
This amp came with a unique 3 speaker cabinet that had two 10” Jensen’s and one 12” Celestion G12H. However, I preferred the tone of my G12M greenbacks in my AC30 cab so I used that speaker for the majority of the captures.

PRESETS
ORIGINAL
These presets are designed to be my go-to all around presets for a variety of guitars but sound particularly good with humbuckers.
TS MCLUB 1 - G12M
TS MCLUB 2 CLN - G12M*
TS MCLUB 2 - G12M
TS MCLUB 3 - G12M
*My personal favorite preset of the pack. See note on Preset Naming below.
BRIGHT
These presets were made with the amp set at intentionally brighter and dirtier settings for a tone that’s aggressive and cutting. Honestly…these aren’t my favorite! But I included them in case you’re interested in cranking the treble or if you’ve got a really warm guitar!
TS MCLUB BR 1 - G12M
TS MCLUB BR 2 - G12M
TS MCLUB BR 3 - G12M
JR
These presets were made with Jimmy Rigs personal settings he uses on his Matchless Clubman. They’re a touch brighter than the Original presets but not as sharp as the Bright presets. Note that I captured these with a G12H speaker, not to be confused with the G12M.
TS MCLUB JR 1 - G12H
TS MCLUB JR 2 - G12H
TS MCLUB JR 3 - G12H
TONE CAT AMP MATCHED (TCAT)
This preset is tonally matched to my Bad Cat Tone Cat “D AC - 1” preset.
TS MCLUB 2 - G12M - TCAT
PRESET NAMING
1 Clean
2 Edge of Breakup
2 CLN A slightly different take on the clean preset that adds a touch more compression when driven but stays clean when clean.
3 Crunch/Overdriven
G12M 12” Celestion Greenback Speaker (original 90’s)
G12H 12” Celestion G12H 70th Anniversary Speaker
RECOMMENDED PAIRINGS
If you run two amp captures in stereo and also own my AC30, Tone Cat or Prosonic captures, I recommend (and personally use) these presets interchangeably:
TS AC30 V1 - 1 - G12M
TS PROSON V1 - 1 - G10V
TS MCLUB 2 CLN - G12M
*If you prefer a dirtier starting point, the TS AC30 V1 - 2 and TS PROSON 2 are well balanced and provide a bit more breakup.
Slight adjustments to the Volumes may be needed to perfectly match output volume.
When pairing with the Tone Cat, I recommend these two presets:
TS MCLUB 2 - G12M - TCAT
TS TCAT V1 D AC - 1
