The ENGL E646 VS Limited Edition plug-in for UAD-2 and Apollo hardware delivers a wide range of clean tones alongside advanced high-gain technology tailored for rock guitarists. Renowned for over two decades, ENGL amplifiers are celebrated for their detailed clean sounds and dynamic distortion, making them a staple for prominent rock and metal artists. Developed in collaboration with guitarist Victor Smolski, this amplifier model has earned its reputation as a modern classic, capable of producing everything from sparkling cleans to intense, searing overdrive.

Brainworx brings the ENGL E646 VS Limited Edition to life as a precise software emulation that replicates the hardware’s signature performance on UAD-2 DSP Accelerators and Apollo systems. Featuring four channels, the plug-in offers extensive tonal shaping with individual Gain controls that enable nuanced responsiveness across clean, semi-distorted, and high-gain settings. Its EQ section mirrors the hardware’s functionality, allowing detailed adjustments of midrange, presence, and depth to sculpt your sound with clarity and power. Whether delivering crystalline cleans or heavy, articulate rhythms, this plug-in infuses guitar tracks with rich harmonic detail and musical precision.

Beyond its core amplifier tones, the E646 VS Limited Edition provides an integrated FX Rack including a noise gate, lo-fi delay, Power Soak, and pre/post EQ filters for tonal refinement during recording or mixing. Users can explore 64 Recording Chain presets that simulate a variety of vintage microphones, ENGL cabinets, and outboard gear through Brainworx’s rare Neve VXS72 console emulation. This feature offers flexible auditioning of different sonic textures and mic placements, enhancing creativity without interrupting the performance. This plug-in is designed to give guitarists and producers comprehensive control over their sound within a single, powerful tool.
