from super high gain to classic crunchy tones and even some nice clean sounds in this video
i'm looking at seven of the best free guitar amp simulator plugins available in 2021 and these all
sound great and can be used for recording or in live situations i'm zane welcome to audio tech
tv where it's my goal to help you conquer the tech so you can unleash your creative beast and
links to all of the plugins mentioned in this video are down in the description
but right now let's jump in and first up on the list is tone deluxe 2 from lost in 70s
tone deluxe 2 is a complete tube amplifier from pre-amplification stage to the baffles it's based
on a simulation of the ecc 83 and el34 tubes and tone deluxe 2 has 2 channels clean and high gain
the high gain channel is pretty versatile and the clean channel has a dirty mode which allows
boosting the game to get some decent crunch sounds you also get 12 cabinet models and models of
spring reverb you can get this on both mac and windows plus while you're over on the lost in
70s website be sure to check out their modern deluxe amp which is also a great guitar amp sim
the next free amp on the list is a ultra high gain amp and this is amped stevie t from ml sound the
free version includes one amp called djent god and you can access three other amps but those
are just in demo mode and will cut out after 30 seconds now if you're a guitar player you probably
know who stevie t is he's a youtuber that's an incredible guitarist and he also creates some very
entertaining videos over on his channel definitely check them out if you haven't already but
this plugin was created in collaboration with stevie t and features a fun user interface plus
four cab sim options it also has a pedal board section with some standard pedals
and the djent god amp really isn't designed for cleans but you might be able to get some crunch
out of it if you lower the gain down quite a bit but that's not what this amp is made for
amped stevie t is available on windows and mac now let's give it a listen
next up is amplitube custom shop from ik multimedia this is the free version of amplitude 5

is cypress tt-15 from black rooster audio this is a guitar amp head emulation that's being modeled
after the orange tiny terror which is an all valve 15 watt amp head it has a very simple
user interface that can help to get clean sounds crunchy tones or even heavily distorted sounds
you also get a 212 cabinet sim that can be bypassed so you can use another cab sim if you
have one or you can run this into an actual guitar cab you can get cypress tt-15 on mac and windows
the next free guitar plugin is kind of a fun one for metal sounds this is redcurrant
from cornflower audio now the first thing you notice with this one is the classic rpg game
user interface which is way different from any other guitar amp sim you get the fury guitar amp
that has two channels one is a lower gain crunchy channel and then you flick the power x2 switch on
and it puts the fury into high gain mode you also get a cabinet sim section where you can choose
from 12 different cabinets or you can easily load your own impulse responses into it too and if you
don't want a cabinet sim on you can turn it off altogether there's also a noise gate tuner
fury pedal room reverb unit and delay pedal red current is available on windows only at the moment
next up is a very nice high gain amp and this is ignite emissary from stl
tones this is a great modern amp that really excels at heavier styles of music
it can deliver modern distortions but you also get some nice bright cleans with it as well
and of course you can dial in all of the overdriven crunchy goodness that's in between
ignite emissary is modeled after the physical emissary tube amp and it sounds great and it's
easy on your cpu it also comes bundled with the nadir plugin which is an awesome ir loader and
it includes some decent cabinet sims with it you can get ignite emissary 2.0 on windows and mac
the next free guitar amp simulator plugin is amplion from audified this is the light version of
the amplion pro plugin and you don't get the same number of simulated amps and effects as the paid
version but you can still experience the superior quality and true sound of a real analog amplifier
it has built-in cabinet simulation that you can turn on and off plus the user interface is easy
to navigate allowing you to dial in your sound with ease amp lion is available on mac and windows
