TDM Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 When I don't want to fire up the ENGL I use a couple of VSTs in Cubase. I mainly use this one: [url="http://sites.google.com/site/nickcrowlab/"]http://sites.google.com/site/nickcrowlab/[/url] That emulates the preamp and poweramp and then I run Voxengo Boogex next in the chain which is a cab simulation. [url="http://catharsis.supremepixels.com/impulses/"]http://catharsis.supremepixels.com/impulses/[/url] <- I usually use those impulses It's a 100% free and it sounds surprisingly good, here's a little clip of some Opeth [url="http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/867382/Full.mp3"]http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/867382/Full.mp3[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velvetkevorkian Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 [url="http://www.voxengo.com/product/boogex/"]Boogex.[/url] Appears to be a VST effect which models the response of a guitar cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdwardHimself Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Well that works rather good, probably need to tweak it a bit more but it's sounding pretty good so far. I had to install sonar 32 bit to get it to work though, now i have both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
