Boogex – Voxengo

BoogexBoogex is a guitar amplifier VST plugin with a variety of sound shaping features.  With Boogex it is possible to get heavy distorted sound as well as slight distortion sound.  Boogex is also able to apply any speaker cabinet impulse response (selection of built-in impulses is available).  Processing latency is very modest – 96 samples (2.1 ms at 44.1kHz).  Boogex comes with several example factory presets.

Crunchdude – Heeb

CrunchdudeThe Heeb CrunchDude 0.1 is a very simple, yet effective guitar amplifier emulation VST plug-in. As the name implies, its strength lies not only in clean or over-the-top lead sounds, but especially in the excellent crunch sounds it can produce (certainly a weak point in many similar devices, virtual or otherwise). Its use is not limited to the electric guitar however. It can also be extremely useful in processing e.g. bass guitar, synthesizers, etc.
