It seems that people are having very different opinion regarding what is good and what is not.
I recorded a little guitar track in order to test the most popular free AMP VST.
( Boogex, Cortex, Free Amp SE )
When I get my hands on a new VST Amp I usually test the clean sound first.
So here it is. I created a similar sound ( Twin like sound ) with all of them.
I tried to create the same colour for every single amp. ( I tried to do my best here so be gentle. )
I used a little reverb and nothing else. Guitar: Fender - Strat PLUS (neck pickup)
If some of you want to play this game with me, here is an unprocessed guitar track for you:
Maybe we can add some commercial VST Amps (GRig,Amplitube...) just to see how they do, but please use this track in order to have the same sound for comparison.

So what do you think, which sound is the best?
Thank you shamann!!
