Boogex is a free guitar amplifier plug-in with a variety of sound shaping features. With Boogex it is possible to get heavy distorted sound as well as slight distortion sound. Boogex is also able to apply any speaker cabinet impulse response (selection of built-in impulses is available). Processing latency is very modest - 96 samples (2.1 ms at 44.1kHz). Boogex comes with several example factory presets.

This means I've decided to release Boogex as freeware VST plug-in. This allowed to leave Beamsonic impulses in the internal impulse set (I remember reading Beamsonic's original Geocities website - he explicitly allowed non-commercial use of the impulses). I've also added impulses made by Aaron Carey (with his permission).

This release version implements better dynamics - almost like in a real tube amp (beside tone, of course) - i.e. you can get that low frequency pumping - check out Metal and Chugga Chugga presets. But dynamics work best with Phase parameter at 0. With higher Phase dynamics get smoothed out.

I will continue studying this 'guitar amp' subject and if I ever find a better approach I'll release a commercial amp plug-in with a bunch of standard features (good-sounding chorus is already available, eh?). What also stopped me from going commercial is a lack of really good impulse responses sampled in a good room at different distances and angles.

Awesome news Aleksey, thanks a million! Looking forward to the release of the commercial amp plug-in too :)

cheers Aleksy- I think the world needs WAY more amplifier/live sound emulators. Music is to DI sounding these days.

After such a horrible rant at the other Boogex-thread, mixed with good advice (as usual from Sascha Franck, always something to learn at least for me) and simple bad mood put into words - getting a fine plugin for FREE is....well. Don't know a word.
Thanks...

You are welcome, everyone!

Klemperer, it is more likely that I was not fully satisfied with the result.. The latest dynamic addition made me feel better about Boogex, but this still was not enough. But it's not a new story for me - I had some plug-ins which I've never released. In any case it's a good practice and the response I get helps me to create something better with each try.

a wonderful plug-in! I wouldn't have purchased it if commercial - though I've bought several other Voxengo plugins.

Transmodder is my favorite, not the best UI to navigate, not the best presets (at least on my source material) but I've gotten some wicked results from it by tweaking which led me to buy.

Without a doubt I'm purchasing more Voxengo plugs in the future! Thanks Aleksy!

Aleksey, you really are a gentleman. Many thanks.

Is there still place left in the forum to say : "Thank you very much !" ?

Thanks very much, looking forward to trying this on some 303 stuff :)
