ToneBytes has released Pedals, a free VST guitar FX plug-in for Windows.

Pedals is a VST effect plug-in designed for processing electric guitar and bass. It is also possible to process other audio sources for a variety of artistic techniques.

The Pedals GUI simulates real devices for sound processing: guitar pedals, amplifiers, speakers, etc. There are a total of 19 models of pedals, 2 amps, 7 speakers models and 3 rack units. These devices are not a copy of the real-life models, each with their own sound, but their working principles are identical.

The user can select a combination of effects and can even create extra mood by choosing floor material under the pedals: house parquet, metal garage floor or studio carpet.

There is a built-in preset manager to save the settings and access them or share them with other users. VST automation and full MIDI Learning are also supported.
