Thanks Vernon - kind words.

I was only trying to sort out what was and wasn't worth keeping in my ever expanding VST list when I had the idea to share these.

Hopefully, I'll add a few more categories of free VST's when I get the time.

LOL - I said the same thing to Doc earlier on James!!

I reckon he must have got lost looking for somewhere far more important - still, it got moved for the right reason I guess - only problem is there's two of 'em in here now!

Thanks for the kind words Shad.

BTW, I haven't forgotten getting you involved on HOTMK - I just haven't got around to arranging the bits and bobs into a coherent song yet. I'll let you know when I finally get there if you're still up for it.

LOL - it took me two or three hours to put the post together Josh - that's probably three times how long it's taken the pisstol man to rattle up his 800 odd posts of puerile drivel. I still appreciate him though, he makes me feel functional!

Some more...

_____________________________

Other nice effect plugs are off course interruptor's different delays, Izotope's Vinyl and the Tapestop plugin as well as GVST's GRevDly
(a reverse delay) and the different guitar amp-emulators like Studio Devil Britich Valve Custom, Fretted Synth's Free Amp 3, Cortex and the Simulanalog Guitar Suite.

I would definitely recommend the Voxengo Overtone GEQ, Pushtec, Rescue, Tessla and TLS Saturated Driver Steve mentioned as well.

Hi there Legion.

There's some great stuff here - I've linked your post direct from mine.

Many thanks for your time and research.

Best wishes

Steve

Ha ha, being poor means one has to searsh for the gems in the jungle of free stuff I got really inspired by your post and as I saw some of my favourite plugs mentioned I thought I could add some more to the list. This thread is definitely a great initiative!
