One of them is a Soldano SLO 100 model that's pretty exceptional, and they have their own sales as well. If I may make a suggestion, Nembrini Audio is where quite a few of Brainworx' amps have been coded, and they've released a few on their own as well. I got some good results back in the day with POD Farm with the cabs turned off using some Redwirez impulses for cabs. Hear it once in a while but haven't been able to track back to an ITB solution. Think I'm gonna keep looking actually, kinda looking for a weirdly specific thing, a high gain but very smooth sound that sounds good with extended voicings, 7s, 9s, slash roots etc. The VH4 sounds kinda small and distant to me compared to the Herbert, but I also associate that with the old Amp Farm stuff which tended to have the trick of sitting perfectly in a mix. Diezels aren't really my thing, but I've been looking for a modern mega gain option for a while now. That thing sounds MONSTROUS.Īin't that the truth.
But of the three I tested, the SVT VR was by FAR the best. Not sure if I need one, I can get the kind of sound I'm after with EQ and compression off the DI. I've tested three of the bass amps, but I haven't bought one yet. Hard to know these things.ĮDIT: I should say I have almost all their guitar amp sims.
I think the new Diezel VH4 is the best one they've ever made, but maybe it's just the best amp for my tastes and they captured it as accurately as they've done with all the others. But you know how these things are, guitarists are so individualistic about their gear, you might love the 765 the most. I've found the ENGL 765 one of the least useful and I prefer the VH4 over the Herbert. I think they make the best amp sims on the market.īut that doesn't mean some aren't better than others.
I have almost every amp they've made, with the exception of the Chandler and the new Friedmans they just released. Any opinions about the amp sims? After listening to the demos I'm considering the Diezel Herbert and/or the Engl 765.
