Pro FET by Ignite Amps.
Distortion modeling of a hardware pedal made by Ignite.
ProFET, Ignite Amp's entry in the 2018 KVR Developer Challenge, gets a six-minute Digital Guitarist workout. It was the first place winner in the contest.
Drop it in front of a clean guitar amp for instant metal tones.
Professional GUI.
Easy on the CPU.
Nice sounding distortion made for a particular genre's tone.
Within that limited frame, ProFET provides nice tone shaping with a 4-band EQ and some nuance on the transients with the "shape" switch.
There are a ton of different free and paid distortions, each with its own personality. I'll do some more vids on them probably. Try out the demos and freebies and pick the one that suits your ears best. This is a good one if it fits your style.
fun combo of distortion and compression (-distression) and bit-crushing sample rate reduction. It was not showing inputs for the side chaine in bidule so docked a point there! will go in my distortion folder for specialoccasions though.
4 minute video walk-through here.
this is one of my top two go to free guitar amp plugins, along with the first version of Voxengo Boogex. It has a great and fully loaded Fx rack and pedalboard, lot's of tweakability on the amps. Recorded three rreplay albums with it and just did a video demo of how to get a freeamp instance running on any windows computer, no host required. (uses Herman Seib's excellent SaviHost).

Pretty useful as is, but agree with the others that it needs the popup of the frequency on the graph to be really useful as anything more than an estimate.
here is the video walkthrough.

For those of you who took (very) basic calculus, the X-axis is volume and the Y axis is f(x).
Raising the Y-Axis on the left makes quiet parts loud, and on the right, lowering it makesloud parts quiet.
Suggestions:
1. Lots of room on the GUI. Add a wet dry knob for those who need an insert effect.
2. LP filter seems to be on a linear scale. Log would be more usable. Q would be nice too as filter seems to be a pretty low Q as is.
