Wow! I like this reverb! There are plenty of presets offered which will give you a taste of what this can do. The included effects are subtle, dry is set at 90% for all of them but when you turn that value down you will get a stronger effect, I also like that this is friendly for newcomers, mouse over the "i" for a description of what each slider does. I like this better than the reverb included in Reaper. WELL DONE! +1 for Linux support.
Wow, this is a delightful little add-on. There are plenty of options to keep you entertained for a while, I was surprised by the number of effects this has. While you can add this for any instrument, I feel this is best for guitar and bass. Within a few minutes I was able to dial in several tones from 'blissful serenity' to 'gnashing of teeth' guitar lead. There are a few presets included to give you a taste of what this is capable of. Well worth your time to check this one out! +1 for Linux support!

Tonelib-metal (from the makers of the amazing Tonelib-GFX) delivers in terms of it's amp sims, there are a few of them but support for additional effects is lacking. If I wanted to do a hardcore song with a clean delay/chorus intro, I would need a separate plugin. Tonelib-Metal attempts to give an appearance of other modern AMP sims (like amplitube or guitar rig) at the expense of usability, at smaller screen resolutions the knobs are harder to read, especially on their cab sim. This software is fairly new and feels incomplete when compared to GFX. Currently there is no online repository for presets. This works very well as a standalone or VST but I feel this needs more time to mature. I suggest trying the demo of both METAL and GFX if you are in the market for an affordable amp/fx solution. At their humble price point you will not find anything better than these. To the developer: I would LOVE to see Tonelib-METAL offered as an EXPANSION for Tonelib-GFX.
