Tezza, that's exactly how I want to do things and if I can't get a good thing with the EQ, will disable Sonarworks on the master. I briefly tried Fabfilter's Pro-Q3 last evening and it was better, but didn't have that 'open air response/feel' (like when you play through a real amp) which I got on the amp sim when Sonarworks was disabled.
It seems a bit counterproductive to add more plugins just to get back the original sound/tones I had without Sonarworks. However, I can see this being a big help when mixing as that's exactly what you want. That's why (some of) us guitarists aren't meant to be sound engineers.....we just plug and play.
