Most of the presets in this thread were built using one of the FreeAmp-beta releases, the VST-ID for the FreeAmp2-final release was changed from FAse into FA20.

Some of the preset in this thread has been converted to FreeAmp2-final (FA20), see http://frettedsynth.asseca.com/wiki/FreeAmp2presets

Hi, Great plugin, thanks for all the work and for making it available to us for free.

I gave the amp section a good run through and really like it. I have a couple of comments/questions/suggestions/requests or whatever. I noticed in one of the preset threads, folks were complaining about "muddy" guitar tones. To my ear, what is going on in the tone is that there is too much emphasis on the fundamental and not enough on the harmonics for a guitar player. This gives a meaty bass sound and makes the low frequencies discernable as notes, which is great for bass guitar but is probably the source of what guitarists are perceiving as "muddiness." I am guessing that the modeling takes place by generating harmonic frequencies. If that is the case, crisper guitar tones might come from being able to tone down the fundamental (i think the subsequent harmonics are probably spot on if this is done). I am not sure if this is the case, but it is my guess.

The second thing is more of a question...what is the principle or goal in the open v. closed configs for the speaker back...i.e., what is it tonally that makes it sound open or closed? The reason I ask is that I struggled to get a good tone out of the open back even though all the "real" amps I've owned have had open backs and I love the tone.....

All this I hope will be taken in the spirit of what I hope is constructive feedback. I really like the plug so far as it is, but think it could be improved to meet the critique that the tone tends toward muddy.

Onward to the synth and the effects section....

so maybe using harmonic amp and distortion types is the best, with an added low-freq cut? i will try that
