Free Amp
Reviewed By Jerry B Goode [all]

Version reviewed: 2 on Windows
Free amp 2 is an amazing plug in. I was blown away by all the features it boasts. I particularly like the ability to switch speaker cabs and the eq settings, this shapes the sound immensely. This plug in is like having your own 300 dollar multi fx pre - amp hardware unit. Install was very easy and the program works very smoothly with cubase 3. Very stable. There are many presets included, broke out in four categories; clean, crunch, overdrive and synth. The clean sounds sounded the best with my Gibson L6. The crunch sounds were equally good.
The heavy sounds lacked a little bit of depth, but it was probably my guitar or eq settings needed tweaked a bit.
The GUI is absolutely gorgeous, I hate plug ins that dont look like real hardware. Each effect can be turned on and off like a stomp box. It appears to be midi controllable, I havent gotten that far into it yet. As far as free plug ins go, I was VERY IMPRESSED with this unit. There are so many boring "one trick ponies" freeware out there. This unit has enough presets,knobs and effects to keep you busy for hours. I plan on using it in my home studio for many recordings. I HIGHLY recommend this download, it is DEFINITLY worth the time.
