It was still fun to watch :) It could be interesting to put the plugin and the amp (with same ir or real cab) head-to-head to see the real difference between real/plugin? I'd be really curious
Brainworx and UAD "versions" are the same. Developers aren't bound to UAD exclusivity anymore, since Softube has also released the Marshall plugins for all platforms.
I think I’m going to try this with my Diezel Herbert preamp pedal with my cab mic’d with an SM-57 setup, and compare it to the Plugin Alliance Diezel Herbert plug-in. I downloaded it yesterday, and messed with it all evening, found a VERY similar-sounding cab IR, tweaked everything, and it’s DAMN close to what the real thing sounds like when I record my real tube setup mic’d up with my SM57... I’m really impressed with their plug-in quality, even though after sifting through the Engl Savage 120 cab IR selection dozens of times it left a lot to be desired, IMO, but I finally found one that is acceptable and got the amp dialed-in ok. I definitely need some studio monitors and an interface. Thinking about the Audient EVO 4.
@Perpetual Havoc The amp sims probably are, but the cab IR's kind of suck... Maybe it's just my speakers. My new Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro headphones will be here later in the week, so I'll find out then whether or not it's my speakers or the cab sims in general.
I got the real one... Been looking for ages for a perfect metalsound. The ENGL Savage 120 was my gift from the (metal) gods. Now been using it for like 15 years or so. It's a beast!!!!!
I own this and the Deisel VH4, UAD versions. They alright, my problem is I got an Engl Invader 2 sitting next to me, and ya know what? I think you know the answer! I really do like the Savage 120 plugin though, it dose sound good. It just takes some time to dial it in, love the IR swapping thing that was a brilliant idea.
I’m debating on what to amp head too buy, I’m looking for something with crazy gain, super tight punchy lows, a lot of note clarity. I’m looking at the Engl savage 120 mkII but I’m not sure if that’s the amp I want. How does it compare the the invader
Michael Lazzell if you get a chance to play through one, look into the Diezel heads. They fit the description of that you are looking for. The Blackstar Series One heads (S1-100, S104) are also very beastly. I have an S1-100 with EL34B tubes and it’s very heavy.
This has been on UAD for years. I thought Brainworx released all of these as AU/VSTs first. Very surprising that this just came out recently especially since there’s already a savage 120 II amp.
Another thing about those IRs, some of them are full signal chains mics, EQ, console, etc. not just the cab. The info but out to the right shows what’s in each one. And he made it towards the end of the video... thanks ola 😂
When I was messing around with it today, I found that to be a really nice and helpful feature when sifting through all the cab IR’s with a recording going on in the background to find what sound I liked best.
@@dannys.902 I have a clone of Gary's Langner Marshall. It's a monster. The Savage is darker, more saturated, and meaner than the Marshall. But the Marshall is no slouch in the rhythm or lead department.
@@joshuacole6543 that's incredible! I have one of his DCP-1 preamps with the Hyper Dist Mod, but still I'd love to have a modded Marshall by him, even a clone like yours would be kickass!
My dream amp... A late 70's Marshall JMP, that has the guts of channel 3 of the Savage or Invader 100. That said, I had a Blackmore and e530 preamp, and both were pretty killer. This is probably the best metal plugin I've heard...damn.
Just sprung for the Plugin Alliance all bundle, (after the waves subscription fiasco, so good to this one and the Diezel demonstrated. Thanks. (Kim from Anubis Gate)
What I think would be cool to see and hear in the future is that if you are doing a demo of an amp plugin, if you own the real thing then it would be nice to hear how the plugin compares to the real deal
Brainworx amp sims are really really good value, especially for the cost in PC resources (or lack thereof). But honestly, Neural DSP is where it's at for sims right now, hands down. And that's coming from someone with the MEGA bundle.
It doesn't compare to this one, but a free one that I love (especially for drop tuned guitars) is the endl fireball from Vadim Taranov. Obviously, it emulates an engl fireball. Note: it doesn't look too pretty, but it sounds really good when dialed in.
Tempo is so chock full of tasty riffs, but he used the Peavey XXX on Tempo and SHKM. I think he used the Savage on Atrocity Exhibition and Human Condition. Not sure about the Blood In, but around that time he discovered the Kemper and record his Slayer tracks with that.
Got the musician bundle sunday for one year and Yesterday I find out this video: f***k yes, connect to my PA account and found It ready for the download, installation and activation. I've got also most of Neural DSP stuff and now Brainworx too. This shit sound pretty sick on his own with some tweaks and external hardware (my pedal rig. A couple of pedala bit that makes HUGE differences). Now i will see how all this "shit" will fit in a mix...the so called trial of fire for a musician ! 😂
Hello Ola, I have 2 important questions, Hope you see and post it on another FAQ videos. 1) Ive heard / know you use Blacksmtih Strings for all you Solar Guitars.

Awesome video and tones Ola but would be nice to see a comparison with the real amp and since you own one, could we expect something like that in the future? Cheers
@@insertanynameyouwant5311 I use most of the time my personal favorite IRs that I use with other plugins too. But I remember there being a couple internal ones that were really good too (i dont remember exactly which ones, maybe the ENGL ones)
Wow, didn't know about these features, and your video on this plugin, I love it more now! Great that they have discounts on this sometimes $40, and with Voucher they usually give only for $20.
Hi Ola, Love this particular video. I like pretty interfaces too (when you switch to fx side no more shiny tubes, front side of amp), but hey as long as it sounds good right?
I think the awesome settings i hear from you can be too mighty in a mix - so i guess you always have to test if the used setting fits into the whole mix.
contour works the wrong way around on this plugin. it's a mid boost on the real amp. weird little mistake, but i really like the setup of this plugin, and it does sound great.
I love the sound of that P. It's really tight, clean and all-round awesome. Is their anyway that you can make a patch of that heavy sound for the katana MK2 50?
Hey Ola, have you heard about Plugin Alliance's DearVR Monitors which gives you a 3D sound environment for mixing with headphones. I'd like to hear what you think. Hope you can review it for us bedroom recording musicians.
It's kind of dumb it doesn't come with a tuner. I use it to monitor recording in real-time with the UAD version but I personally think it's not good enough for a pro recording. I found that the noise gate acts pretty strangely on the tail end. The Overloud TH-U stuff is wayyy better than this imo.
Ok so I know it isn’t 2013 anymore BUT Could you perhaps get a set of lace Finger burner pickups and do a review on them? Can’t find any (recent) reviews of them Trying to find an alternative to bkps without the bkp price tag Thank you!

LOL oops...that's what approaching 40 years might mean :p Aging like a good wine!!

lol
I like the fact than when you put the autocaps and Ola plays with distortion it says (Aplause) lol!
That's because this amp *claps* everything on the market.
@@Vicente_Moreno 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Plug in vs the real thing comparison pls.

Gary used his modded Marshall for the TotD record, an XXX for the ShKM record and the AE1 record and the Savage for the AE2 record!
The 'Audition' mode is something every IR loader should have. Double-clicking on each one individually to hear each one's sound is fucking ponderous.
Peavey Triple XXX was used on Tempo of The Damned. ENGL was for the newest albums.
That audition thing looks super useful. Instead of looking through folder and folders of IRs like "where do I even start?"
olas signature tone has changed since his first engl savage video when he first started doing youtube. it was scratchier before
I got the real one... Been looking for ages for a perfect metalsound. The ENGL Savage 120 was my gift from the (metal) gods. Now been using it for like 15 years or so. It's a beast!!!!!

8:40 nope, Tempo of the Damned used JCM800, the weird part is that Holt was playing passive EMGs
I remember Holt and Sneap used the Savage on Exhibit B. I think Tempo was tracked into one of Gary’s modded Marshall heads
that is correct
I was thinking the same. Glad I wasn't wrong.
Yes, the amp was modded by the late Todd Langner, who was also chief engineer for the creation of the ADA MP-1.

This is probably the best metal plugin I've heard...damn.
Experiment with BIAS Amp 2. Maybe you could get there!
dream on kid, you cant by pass the cabs to use your own IRS!
when you use REAPER DAW you can also strip GUI to parameter lists for more nerdy geeky looking amp
Anytime I hear that haunted riff I can’t help but headbang lol
What’s the track name dude??
@@JonMurray time will not heal, I think
Im liking the response from this plugin when playing. anyone else finds the stock cabs dark? i tried some irs and it fixed it
dark, roomy and undefined
Tempo of the Damned is his 1987 modded Marshall JCM 800, he used the Savage on Exhibit A&B 👌👍
Almost, I'm sure he used the XXX for the AE1 album, then the Savage for AE2!

Wish he did :D
Please do more 7 string amp pluggin demos. Please
Thanks Ola!!! I did purchase this from UAD, and it certainly is killer, no doubt! Appreciate the tutorial, sir!!
got this with plugin alliance. super impressed. I compared with with the neural dsp stuff and it holds up. Sounds real for sure
Thats one of the reasons why i love AmpedRoots. You gotta be able to see the amps. And Big
I would love to see a video on their Engl Retrotube plugin.
"Guess better late than never" Well, I go the opposite direction with my SO "Better early than never..." She doesnt agree so far.
Please do your unboxing and an in the room tone test of the ENGL Fireball ASAP. Thx.

Intro riff is a killer🤘🏾🤘🏾
One of his best riffs if not the best one!(in my ears atleast)
Got mine and I m very satisfied.
What a coincidence, I was looking for engl vsts today
It doesn't compare to this one, but a free one that I love (especially for drop tuned guitars) is the endl fireball from Vadim Taranov. Obviously, it emulates an engl fireball. Note: it doesn't look too pretty, but it sounds really good when dialed in.
Thumbs up is for Tempo of the Damned riffs.
The absolut best format man.
Could you please make a video with a talkbox 🙏 🙏
I freaking love that Matte Silver AB1.6 guitar..great guitar Ola!
You have to do an AB comparison of the plugin and real amp!
Oh you shit testing Ola you that amp is a freaking gainiac damn sounds pretty epic.
also interesting listen comparison between vst and real amp, if you have both. like 'in the room'.
Dude this amp sim sounds like a monster!!
Ola! Please, make a video of the Engl Savage model from the NAM (Neural Amp Modeler)
Tempo is so chock full of tasty riffs, but he used the Peavey XXX on Tempo and SHKM. I think he used the Savage on Atrocity Exhibition and Human Condition. Not sure about the Blood In, but around that time he discovered the Kemper and record his Slayer tracks with that.
Great vid man, it would be interesting to hear the plugin played through a power amp or fx return through a cab...and compare it to the real deal...
Yes
Dude awesome work as always. Regarding the noise gate, you should mute the strings over the nut to get rid of the overtone ;)
Love the savage. Have to try this.

Hello Ola,
I have 2 important questions,
Hope you see and post it on another FAQ videos.
1) Ive heard / know you use Blacksmtih Strings for all you Solar Guitars.
Can you talk more about Blacksmith Strings and why you choose them?
2) When will the Solar Bass be available? 2021?
.
Thank you Ola for your time.
Cheers from Malaysia.
You got me hooked on Amplitube4 when you did the Dime collection vid.
Their engl models are awesome too
Ola! Maybe do a side by side between the plugin and your savage? Using the same cab and mic as whatever IR you're using?
Nailed it.
The whole time I'm thinking, Andy Sneap much?
Ola you beautiful Swede. Great test! But WHY not compare to the same amp that you have in the other room? 🤪
Awesome video and tones Ola but would be nice to see a comparison with the real amp and since you own one, could we expect something like that in the future? Cheers
That plugin sounds awesome! 🤘🤘
Great plugin A++++++++++++++++++ for the Exodus mention
It just sounds metal. Simple as that
I wish they would include a Richie Blackmore engl or the powerball
I have the Retrotube from Plugin Alliance, really sweet, just like the real amplifier (which I'd love to get at some point). This one sounds sick too
what`s your favorite IT for Retro Tube? I haven`t found the one I would really like yet, or do you use external IR`s with this one?
