Another day, another VST guitar amp. That’s a good thing, I say – I’ve downloaded about a hundred of them so I see no reason to stop now. So what have we got today? At its core, the Crunck V2 Guitar Amplifier is a single channel all purpose/metal monster VST from Nembrini Audio (run by…
Who wants a free channel strip? From now until February next year you can grab the channel strip from Acustica free. “Ceil features a powerful compressor – which can work as a general audio leveler or a full-blown dynamics destroyer – an incisive EQ section, pan and stereo spread controls, and a preamp.” Ceil is…
The team at Audio Assault sure are busy beavers, and here’s something new: The RM-2 Analog Console.

My goal here was to build a high gain sim that doesn’t need any booster in front in order to be tight.” Features: 2 channels, actually two…
The 7170 is a kick-ass emulation of the fabled 5150 amp from Nick Crow and quite frankly, it’s cranking. Make no mistake, this is a white-hot heavy metal beast. You’ve got drive control, low, mid, sweep and high tone stack controls, and a separate, controllable power amp. All of Nick Crow’s stuff is awesome and…
Let’s get it said right up front: this is one of my favourite amp head VSTs of all time. LePou makes great stuff and his amp heads are second to none. Of all of them however, I think this one is the best. The 456 has just the right amount of muscle and crispness, not…
