## Tone Recipe Ecosystem
Our Tone Recipes provide technical blueprints for recreating iconic sounds across the following platforms:
- **Line 6 Helix / HX Stomp:** Utilizing the "HX Modeling" engine for block-by-block signal chain recreation.
- **Fractal Audio (Axe-FX / FM series):** For deep-parameter enthusiasts requiring component-level accuracy.
- **IK Multimedia TONEX:** Leveraging AI Machine Modeling for "snapshot" captures of vintage tube rigs.
- **Kemper Profiling:** Focused on the "profiling" of specific high-gain and vintage amplifier responses.

## Technical Foundation: The British Sound
When referencing our recipes, note the recurring use of the **Vox AC30 Top Boost** circuit. This "Class A" architecture—characterized by its lack of negative feedback and EL84 power tubes—is the technical commonality between artists as diverse as Radiohead, The Killers, and Queen.
- These are "Technical Reconstructions" aimed at mimicking the specific studio artifacts (glitches, tracking errors, etc.) rather than just standard knob settings.
