Best free VST I've ever used. Guitar suite.

http://www.simulanalog.org/guitarsuite.htm

- Boss DS-1 (Distortion stompbox)
- Boss SD-1 (Super Overdrive stompbox)
- Tube Screamer (Overdrive stompbox)
- Oberheim PS-1 (Phaser stompbox)
- Univox Univibe (Modulations stompbox)
- Fender Twin 1969 (Guitar amplifier)
- Marshall JCM900 Dual Reverb (Guitar amplifier)

In particular, the tubescreamer in front of the JCM900 sounds awesome (with a speaker sim, of course).

drat, it's PC only. I could've really used a good DS-1 emulation. :sigh:

Oh, speaking of speaker sims:

They have a free speaker cab VST that's really good. They also have about a half dozen VSTs that are assorted amplifier sims. The Legion sounds good, kinda like a 5150. They also have some stuff for Macs.

Seconding this recommendation. It is amazing how much the sound of my amp emulations improved just with their free cab download.

 The LABS stuff is worth checking out; I’ve been playing around with it a bit recently, and there’s some fun sounds to play around with in there. I was already leaning towards picking up BBCSO Discovery, but the 50% off makes picking up Core a much easier pill to swallow.
