The bx_megasingle plugin delivers an authentic recreation of the Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier guitar amplifier, celebrated for its ability to produce high-gain tones that shaped modern metal alongside warm, vintage cleans and crunch sounds. This plugin offers two distinct channels: Channel One provides bright cleans with a push-up crunch option, while Channel Two covers a broad spectrum of higher gain sounds with a Vintage/Modern switch to explore tonal variations across eras. Each channel has independent controls for gain, treble, mid, bass, presence, and master volume, allowing detailed tone shaping for rhythm and lead styles.

Recording guitar tones in a studio setting often requires a complex setup involving microphones, preamps, and additional gear, demanding expertise and time. This plugin simplifies the process by incorporating 64 carefully crafted impulse responses featuring an array of guitar cabinets and premium microphones. These IRs were produced by Dirk Ulrich, an experienced rock producer, using top-tier equipment including MEGA cabinets, vintage and modern microphones, and a rare NEVE VXS72 console. This meticulous production delivers tones that capture the warmth and character of the original amp setup, all accessible through an intuitive menu within the plugin.

Beyond faithfully emulating the original amp’s sound, the bx_megasingle plugin includes useful enhancements such as a noise gate, delay, and power soak, offering added flexibility for recording and performance. It caters to producers and musicians seeking a broad palette of guitar tones, from clean and crunchy rhythms to soaring solos and aggressive metal sounds. The plugin supports direct input guitar recording with integrated amp simulation, recording chains, and effects, making it a powerful and convenient tool for guitarists and producers to achieve professional, boutique amp quality right from their desktop.
