Boogex is a free guitar amplifier plug-in with a variety of sound shaping features for professional music production applications.
With Boogex it is possible to get a heavy distorted sound as well as slight "jazzy" saturation sound. Boogex is also able to apply any speaker cabinet impulse response (selection of built-in impulses is available). The processing latency is close to zero making it possible to use Boogex for real-time guitar processing.
Boogex also includes reverberation module derived from Voxengo OldSkoolVerb reverb.
This is listed as no longer available, but version 3, a seriously excellent update, is available at Voxengo. Here is my demo of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKKMolMmPeM The tone stack has been updated and the sound engine is a major upgrade from v1 and v2. Dynacab is a great new feature. One of the best free amps anywhere.
Read ReviewRevolutionary upon its release and hasn't lost a bit of charm in all its years. This is still a very useful cabinet simulator.
I haven't found its built-in distortion to be so hot for guitar/lead distortion. I recommend using Boogex after your own distortion of choice. Team this with a modern, proper circuit-modelling distortion, and I guarantee you'll be impressed.
This is easily one of the best free amp plugins. The cleaner tones (in particular the factory preset "picky jazz") stand next to the commercial amp plugin I have in terms of tone and useability, no problem. Can load your own cabinet impulses! Also sounds nice running my hardware synths through it. Very nice job by Voxengo, they deserve thanks for releasing this free of charge.
Read ReviewThis is what I was looking for. Serious dirt, but under my control.
This I would pay for.
I haven't fully investigated it yet. If I am allowed to I may edit this review.
