Kitty Hawk M1 - Lead preset

Verified · 90/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Kitty Hawk M1 is a 1987 West German two-channel head, nearly identical to the M3. Relay-switched Clean and Lead channels each have treble/bass/middle and their own master, with a presence control and spring reverb. Four EL34s run on a switch between class AB at about 500 volts and a lower-power class A setting at about 250 volts.

Schematic-derived preset files for the Neural DSP Quad Cortex and 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
