Hey what's up everybody?
I made a video review and tone test of the Brainworx ENGL E646 VS amp sim VST plugin and would love to share it with you all.
It's got some seriously decent tones inside the box and sounds fantastic for heavy metal chuggs.

How about just posting your conclusions so we can decide if we want to watch the vid for more in depth info?

How did you find it. I was just giving it a go earlier and it didn't really give me what I was looking for tonally, despite messing with the settings and Recording Chains.
Don't get me wrong, I think it sounds great, it just wasn't what I was after at the time. I found the Deizel VH4 got me much closer.

@Examigan: Thanks and sorry, I'm new here, didn't know where to post it really. From now on I'll be using the Effrects section of the forum.
@musicdoc: You're right. My conclusions, though, are that it's a great VST plugin for the money. It sounds really good, especially in the most aggressive playing styles. I'd like to compare it to the Neural DSp Fortin NTS.
@simon.a.bilington: I found it browsing Honest Amp Sims Revews, they have plenty of good ideas for VST plugins. As I just said, I liked it a lot, especially playing fast palm mutes and heavy chuggs.

I have an impression it’s a genre related thing. Does Honest Amp Sim Reviews cover multiple styles including jazz & funk??alessandroarzilli wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 1:45 pm @Examigan: Thanks and sorry, I'm new here, didn't know where to post it really.
