Well, it's a bunch of free guitar processors that are simple, but effective. Don't know how close they are to the originals, but to me it is more important how they sound in a mix. They're all kinda clean-sounding, probably more so than their hardware equivalents, but you can always run them through something to "dirty" up the sound.
The one i've been using the most is the Fender Twin clone, and with good results. Again, it is very clean and the effect is very subtle, but it does do something amp-like to the sound. Has a really nice tremolo, prolly the best i've heard in a vst. It doesn't sync to host tempo, but neither does a Fender Amp, and to me that's what makes it sound good. And don't expect any squarewave stuttering here, only a soft, undulating sinewave (or triangle?). I'd like to see an overdrive option on this one though. The Marshall clone has plenty of that obviously, but it aint the same...
The effects are nice enough. I was never a fan of Boss distortion boxes, but the Univibe is fine. I do suspect the originals are all a bit weirder and quirky, and have a warmer sound.
All in all, a very useful package, being free and all.
