A selected few guitar amps become legends by being a key sonic component of countless hit records and part of the signature tone of a myriad of revered guitarists.
Mesa Boogie’s Dual Rectifier® is one such amp. Unlike other legendary amp circuits, this amp is not only known for a single sound but rather an incredibly wide range of tones- from jazzy cleans to warm crunch to singing overdrive to high gain sounds. Brainworx has now lovingly recreated this legend in plugin form with the bx_megadual.
Not only is the tonal soul of the original captured, but so are all the features which give it such a wide sonic pallet. With three separate channels, eight tone modes, the ability to simulate reduced voltage to the output transformer (Variac) and more, the bx_megadual is perhaps the most versatile guitar amp plugin emulation on the market.
As anyone who regularly records electric guitars will tell you, getting a great tone with a real amp in the studio ain’t easy. It’s a complicated process involving setting up expensive microphones, preamps and outboard gear and requires lots of experience, or at least a lot of trial and error.
The bx_megadual plugin includes 64 Impulse Responses (IRs), which include a dizzying array of guitar cabinets, high-end microphones and other studio gear. Dirk Ulrich (Owner/CEO of Brainworx) was a rock producer for 15 years before entering the plugin business, working with musicians from bands like Dream Theater, Toto, Michael Jackson’s band and many more. /best-free-ambient-pad-synth-vst.html. He produced these IRs at the Brainworx studio using 3 different MEGA cabinets, 9 different high-end vintage and modern microphones all running through his NEVE VXS72 console (1 out of 9 consoles of this type which exists), and using outboard EQ from Millennia, SPL and elysia.
Officially certified MESA/Boogie amplifiers: Triple Rectifier, Dual Rectifier, Mark III, Mark IV and TransAtlantic TA-30. Audio Units, VST 2, VST 3, AAX. Windows® (64-bits) Minimal: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo or AMD Athlon™ 64 X2, 2GB of RAM (4 GB suggested), Windows® 7, Windows® 8 or Windows® 10. Requires an ASIO compatible sound card. The Mesa Boogie Rectifier sound fans can now discover at Plugin Alliance de the modeled versions of the Dual and Single tube amps developed by Brainworx. Good vst plugins for hip hop. The bxmegadual reproduces the sound arsenal of the Dual Rectifier, from jazzy clean to high-gain distorted rock tones, thanks to three separate channels, each with its 3-band EQ, gain.
The resulting tones, which would take tons of gear, time and expertise to achieve, can be selected from a simple menu inside the plugin.
The plugin version also includes some extremely useful features not found on the original amp including a noise gate, delay and power soak.
And let’s face it – who wouldn’t want a free VST that sounds like Boogie, even if it doesn’t quite hit the nail on the head? What it does: It emulates the second and third channels of a classic – the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. Blues, rock, hard rock, punk, metal.
The bx_megadual plugin delivers the full range of tones found in the original amp- from sparkling cleans, to crunch, to soaring solo tones to full blown, high-gain metal sounds. Its versatility makes it an incredibly useful tool to any Producer/Musician who records electric guitars and a joy to play for any guitarist.

FEEL THE POWER
Ideal for heavy room-filling riffs, super-fast attack and bone-crunching overdrive, RAMMFIRE is perfectly and directly modeled on the legendary Pre-500 Dual Rectifier Amp and recording setup of Richard Z. Kruspe (Rammstein). Designed and developed in close collaboration with the man himself, we've unlocked the secrets behind this iconic band's trademark sound. This groundbreaking guitar amp emulation runs in the free GUITAR RIG 5 PLAYER and GUITAR RIG 5 PRO. DEMO VERSION
THE MAN BEHIND THE SOUND
With a keen interest in technology, Kruspe is really an expert on tube amps and guitar recording. Over the years he also experimented with various amp and speaker simulations, but they just didn't work for him. Until now. After meticulous work together with our developers at his personal studio, Richard Z. Kruspe was so impressed with the end result that he often uses it to record demos at home. Enjoying the quick and easy interface, Richard also brings his slick RAMMFIRE setup on tour, using it to warm up back-stage before gigs.
TRUE SOUND FROM A UNIQUE SETUP
Richard Z. Kruspe's personal recording setup has been studied and meticulously modeled using the original recording chain, including some of the finest boutique studio gear available. With close assistance from Richard Z. Kruspe himself every detail of his setup was recreated, a task spanning from amp modeling, to recording real impulse responses from his studio, to Richard working on the sound design both for the Matched Cabinet module and the rack presets himself!
ULTIMATE CONTROL
RAMMFIRE offers an instantly satisfying choice of authentic Richard Z. Kruspe sounds, yet gives the user total control over the specific ingredients when needed. The Control Room module offers the original channel strips to tweak the blend of different mics, cabinets and preamp settings, just like in Richard's real studio setup.
