Apologies if it’s been discussed previously… but as the topic says what’s the closest amps in the real world that the Badonk could represent?


Hi,

 

Copied from the description provided on 

https://helixhelp.com/models

The Line 6 is Badonk is based on a Line 6 original inspired by the original high gain Big Bottom model 

 

Synopsis

To create the Line 6 Badonk, the Big Bottom model from the XT code was rebuilt using new tools so that the overall EQ and pre-post distortion filtering matched. The previous tone stack was a little limited, so it was tuned up to have more range and provide a realistic, interactive response. To make this model feel more like a full amp, the power amp from the Fatality model (mesa rectifier mod) was added then tweaked slightly to reinforce the overall EQ curve of the Big Bottom. Tone Secret: The Big Bottom does not have a crap-load of low frequency. Instead, it is an amp with a slightly more than average amount of low end that can really hold together while being fed a lot of low frequency. It holds together well with heavily detuned guitars.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.
