Hi, is it possible to use a preamp (like ENGL E530) with TwoNotes Reload or I need power amp ? Thank you.

For recording purposes only you can use a simulated power amp in the two notes app. But with cab you need a dedicated power amp

No. There is a power amp simulation in WoS

is there any difference between WoS power amp sim and Cab M power amp sim. I'm ok with the sound of Cab M power amp sim. I assume they are both software?

it depends on what you're trying to do. if you're just paying at home, i'm pretty sure that the e530 has like a 1-watt poweramp or something built in that you can run through a cabinet. i remember it not being great, but if you're just playing at home, that could be the ticket. if you're trying to record, the wall of sound plugin will do it. it's not my favorite but it's simple enough, preferences are all subjective anyway. if you're going to be playing with a band, you're going to need some decent wattage.

Agreed. The power amps tend to sound over produced and bloated. A few guys like Pete Thorn make them sound good but he's also got some nice hardware in the chain.

There is a good power amp VST called TP1-A. It sounds much better than the two notes one to me. But using it vs the preamp direct didnt wasnt really make or break, adding the power amp really mimics what you might do with eq and compression, so simply up to you whether that's what works for the tone or not.
