Nick Crow 8505  Lead




Nick Crow 8505  Lead is a tube guitar amp VST plug-in.

  • POWER - Power ON/OFF.
  • HQ - Oversampling ON / OFF. Use OFF to reduce CPU usage, use ON to get the quality sound without aliases (more CPU).  When a project or the track is exported to a wave file (mixdown, bounce, render, freeze) oversampling is always automatically enabled regardless of the position of the button.
  • GAIN - Determines the amount of gain applied by the Pre Amp.
  • LOW, MID, SWEEP, HIGH - Tone Stack controls.
  • POWER AMP - Determines the amount of gain applied by the Power Amp.
  • VOLUME - Output level.
  • After Nick_Crow_8505_Lead insert some guitar cabinet emulation.

Brackenbury Amplifier






Brackenbury Amplifier is based off of The Brackenbury-1 Tube Amplifier designed by former Thomas Organs and Wersi designer Chris Brackenbury in the early 90's.

We are now quite happy to bring this same power and design to the virtual world, through this VST effect unit designed by the same team. Featuring drive, volume, delay and all of the other controls found on regular amplifiers, the Brackenbury Amp also features a unique sweepable EQ system, to create interesting new sounds. The Brackenbury Amp also comes with a collection of great presets, with everything from Seventies acid-rock sounds to clean Jazz guitar.

CrunchDude






CrunchDude is a very simple, yet effective guitar amplifier emulation.

As the name implies, its strength lies not only in clean or over-the-top lead sounds, but especially in the excellent crunch sounds it can produce (certainly a weak point in many similar devices, virtual or otherwise). Its use is not limited to the electric guitar however. It can also be extremely useful in processing e.g. bass guitar, synthesizers, etc.

Dirthead





Dirthead features three channels, clean, crunch and ultra that can be activated by clicking on the yellow, orange or red leds.

It comes with the usual controls found on guitar amplifiers and additionally a voicing knob that alters some internal poweramp parameters. Dirthead is available as a freeware vst plugin for windows and can be used in every host application that supports vst plugins.

  • Built-in Distortion, Amp, Cabinet and Effect Simulation
  • Both 32 and 64 bit versions are available for Windows Xp, Vista and 7
  • 64 bit internal processing resolution
  • Low CPU usage
  • Easy to use

Le456


Le456 is a preamp sim roughly based on a famous German gear.

It has:
  • 2 channels
  • 2 modes per channel.
Each channels/modes share the same features. Apart from the usual tone controls (drive, low, mid, high and contour), each channels/modes offer two different tone stacks that can be accessed via the focus switches.
Bottom and bright switches can be used to boost the low and the high frequencies respectively.
On the low gain channel only (Clean/Crunch), the effectiveness of the bright switch decreases with the gain settings.

LeCab2






LeCab2 is a cabinet (guitar or bass) impulse loader.

  • 6 impulse slots
  • Latency control (down to 64 samples)
  • Dropdown menu built with the .wav files contained in the directory where the last impulse is loaded
  • Next and Prev buttons to navigate through the impulse directory
  • Solo button for each slots
  • Channel selection for each slots
  • Possibility to link the loaded impulse of 2 slots (other controls stay independant)
  • High Pass and Low Pass filters for each slots
  • Phase, Delay, Pan and Volume controls for each slots

LeCto Guitar amp




LeCto is a guitar amp simulator inspired by an american modern high gain head.

This simulator has 2 channels with 3 modes on each channel. It can go from crunch (raw mode) to modern high gain (modern mode).
  • oversampling : determines the signal oversampling; up to 8x
  • mono/stereo : determines the signal routing
  • input : controls the magnitude of the input signal
  • drive : controls the amount of gain
  • low : controls the low frequency
  • mid : controls the mid frequency
  • high : controls the high frequency
  • presence : presence control
  • resonance* : controls the amount of resonance resulting from the interaction with the speaker cabinet

LeXTAC Guitar amplfire



LeXTAC has been inspired by a great Californian boutique amplifier.

  • Ch 1 (Clean/Yellow): gain, bass, middle, treble, contour, power amp gain volume, 3 positions pre eq, gain boost
  • Ch 2 & Ch 3 (Blue & Red): gain, bass, middle, treble, contour, power amp gain, volume, 3 positions pre eq, gain-structure, gain boost and plexi mode
All channels have a 3 positions Pre EQ switch : Normal, Bright and Brighter. The higher you set the gain control, the less effect the Pre EQ will have on the sound. All channels also have a gain boost.
Channel 2 & 3 (Blue & Red) have two other switches to give the user different gain/tone :
  • The Plexi channel is a lower gain channel than the normal Blue & Red ones. The plexi channel can be assigned to either Channel 2 or 3. Note: structure switch and Gain Boost switch are inactive in Plexi mode.
  • The Structure switch is an overall gain reduction switch for Channels 2 & 3. When ON (high position), both channels 2 & 3 have less gain. Obviously, when OFF (down position), the preamp will more gain.

Studio Devil BVC



Studio Devil BVC (British Valve Custom) is a guitar tube amplifier modeling plug-in that is designed to mimic the character of "British"-style vacuum tube heads.

This virtual tube amplifier processor is based on authentic models of 12AX7A vacuum tube preamps and tube power stages. While primarily intended for guitar amp modeling and direct recording of both electric guitar and bass, Studio Devil BVC excels wherever natural tube overdrive and distortion is needed. British Valve Custom features the basic controls of a guitar amp: GAIN, TONE, and DRIVE. It is based on the gain structure of popular British Valve (Tube) heads like those made by Marshall with some subtle modifications to give it slightly more gain. The dynamic response and tone is faithful to those from real vacuum tube amps and reacts to your playing style just like the real thing.
