In this free video tutorial, Paul Drew looks at the new incarnation of the Brainworx Rockrack guitar amp sim from Plugin Alliance. Paul starts off with 2 di’d guitars hard panned left and right and adds 2 different amp models from the BX Rockrack on each part.

Paul also looks at the very effective noise gate included in the plug-in and cleans up the sound.
Most amp sims out there attempt to simulate 112 amps and 256 microphones, but the tone of the originals just can’t be found in any of those models, even after hours of frustrating knob tweaking. Much of the time their distortion sounds brittle and not organic. Digital at its worst…

Brainworx has become renowned for their 1:1 emulations of coveted, high-end guitar amplifiers, providing plugins that not only sound like a real amp but feel like one when you play them. After four years of developing exacting models from coveted amp brands like ENGL®, Chandler® Friedman® and Mesa®, Brainworx has taken what they’ve learned and rolled it into bx_rockrack V3– a complete redesign of their flagship guitar amp plugin.
