QC S-RAY

Do you like the spank? Then you’ll love this one! Hailing from the brains of Dr. Z and Brad Paisley is the StangRay. The StangRay was the second collaboration between Dr. Z and Brad Paisley after the smashing success of the Perscription RX that was built for Brad. The StangRay was designed to automatically give a punchy and spanky tone to its player without needing to use a compressor to add more spank. This is why they chose the EF86 preamp tube. This amp spanks and does a great job at it. The best way to think about it is like channel two of a Matchless DC30. However, this amp is a little special compared to a DC30 because its output transformer was designed by Ken Fischer of Trainwreck Amps. So, this amp is a little bit like the Z Wreck before the Z Wreck was a thing. The amp loves to be clean but also loves to be pushed. It can get a lot of gain going in the preamp while maintaining its clarity which is wonderful for players like Brad. In this capture pack, we captured the rawness and liveliness of the StangRay perfectly. For guys who frequently fawn over the Paisley tone, we certainly could not stop smiling while creating this pack and we are positive it will make you smile as well!

This pack is 10 of our best Quad Cortex captures of this amp.
