SansAmp sans Pro Tools
If you've ever used Pro Tools, you may remember this little gem called SansAmp. It's a free plugin that's been used on countless recordings to add distortion in various flavors. Great on bass, drums, etc. But until now, it's been available for PT only. Now there's a standard VST that copies SansAmp and adds a few extra features. That's right, you can use a SansAmp clone outside of Pro Tools! Best of all, it's free, part of the latest KVR Developer Challenge. It's called the AXP SoftAmp PSA. Check it out -- it seems to work pretty well. And don't forget to peruse the other entries in the Challenge. There's always a worthy contender or two in there. Cheers, Eddie

Thanks for the heads up, Eddie. It's arguably the best overdrive/distortion pedal VST I've ever heard.

Lots of goodies this year. I was also impressed by Roth-AIR (HF exciter) and Lagrange (delay). But of the ones I've tested, this amp sim is the one I'll most likely use.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Thanks for the heads up. I see lots of video tutorials where people use the heck out of the Sansamp. I'll give it a go.

Much appreciated. I have a very early Sans Amp classic - and it's still hard to beat it for some forms of pre- amping and over drive. It'll be interesting to compare the two.

I sometimes launch Pro Tools just to process a track with SansAmp - I love that plug-in. Too bad for me that there's no Audio Unit version.

Thx Eddie.
Like you need another plug in :-) I may give this a look. I usually don't bother with freebies because they are so hit and miss, but I've seen SansAmp used in some videos (like others) and it does a really nice job.

Guitar Rig 5 also has a SansAmp module. I never owned an actual unit so I don't know how close it gets but the Guitar Rig version is very useful!
