The heading of that post:
The 5 Best Freeware Guitar Effects
The guitar gets a section to itself. Here’s a list of the best six-string free software…
 
 
The first freebie recommended:
VB-1 – Virtual bass instrument
 
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? 

AmpliTube Custom Shop should have been in the list.
 
"FREE version of AmpliTube 3 with 24 models including a digital chromatic tuner, 9 stomps, 4 amps, 5 cabs, 3 mics, 2 rack effects"

And it will be AmpliTube 4 CS in a few days.

that list is rather misleading.
 
1st plugin is a virtual Bass instrument - uh not guitar effects.
 
2nd is a virtual acoustic guitar instrument, modeled not sample based - uh not guitar effects.
 
NI Guitar Rig free is meh, IK Multimedia custom shop isn't even mentioned thought NI guitar rig is.  come on.
 
that's a bogus list.
 
everyone knows you have to have a top 10 list.  a top 5 list?  this author is smoking crack and trying to meet a deadline.  the author failed.

Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot...

euphemism, euphemism

enthusiasms, enthusiasms

Curb Your Euphemism 

Clearly a schism from symbolism just to generate some cynicism in those suffering from gasism.
