They are so, so...(not bad, but not really good).
There are better ones out for free:
FreeAmpSE
SimulAnalog
Cortex

Personally, I love 'em. But then I'm not a guitarist - I just occasionally use synth patches similar to guitars on some dub tracks, where it's not essential that I sound exactly like a guitar. Possibly if you were a perfectionist, you'd go for some other plugins.
And I also admit that I sometimes need to process things twice with QFX to get the real dirty sound, but it works for me. I particularly like the reverb on the guitar amps - it's a shite reverb for general use (I wouldn't touch it with a very long bargepole for anything else) but it sounds great as a cabinet spring reverb when mixed in with the other FX. The QFX reverb sounds better on my synth guitar-dub channels than any of my h/w units or any convolution impulses I've tried. It's probably because it's so bad that it works...if that makes sense. After all - cabinet springs aren't exactly the cleanest most spacious reverbs to start with, eh?

Quantum FX V2, now in final testing, has a tasty new guitar amp that beats our old efforts hands-down. Don't worry K, the old one with the shite reverb is still there 
Existing customers will get their free upgrades soon.

BTW, That screenshot above is actually Mully's reworking of our factory effects. I have never released a bright pink plugin

I'll make shiny skins for V2 which will be more than slight customisation... after all quantum-fx has gotten me into GUI design
so Dave, does this mean we get a high quality verb with V2??? I thought that was the greatest (and only) real weakness with V1
cheers,
mully

...I forgot you lurk around here occasionally Dave. 
V2 - great news. Can't wait; I'm drooling already.
