Overview
The Fuchs Train II is widely known for its harmonically rich, clean and crunch tones, as well as its aggressive rock and roll character. The Train II plugin by Brainworx captures all that bold and prepossessing sound from this rock and roll masterpiece. Officially endorsed by Fuchs Audio Technology, the Fuchs Train II plugin perfectly emulates the tonal complexity of this powerful amplifier. If you are looking to attain the famous interpretation of the respected Trainwreck sound, the Train II plugin will definitely perform.
The plugin is equipped with an onboard FX rack with multiple features. These features include a Noise Gate with filtering for taming pickup hum or body rumble, Power Soak for adding more gain without losing headroom, and a vintage delay unit with a built-in "tap tempo" mode. The sound of your guitar is further refined by the accent and thrust controls, which adds a subtle shimmer to the high end or more body to the low end. This offers a remarkable amount of tonal range with each setting you dial in.
Furthermore, the Train II plugin also includes 100 impulse response Recording Chains that were perfectly captured from several boutique cabinets and recorded through Brainworx's vintage Neve console. The plugin also comes with the new RC Off & RC Info as well as a scalable User Interface.

I’ve been working with the ODS and Train plugins. They are the only ones I use in digital domain. The back panel pass filter and fast action noise gate are super useful in high gain situations.… Read More

The Train II is pure adrenaline for the soul... nothing tame about this beast! With more than enough gain on tap to turn a Tele into a fire breathing beast (and I'm NOT kidding), this is a flavor… Read More
