little different give flandersh tech playmate a try it's currently available on windows only
next on the list is the king guitar pedal from evil sound lab
at first glance it may look like a fairly simple guitar pedal style plug-in but they've actually
packed this with some unique features that gives you tones that are based on sound design
and mixing approaches you can actually just go from this plug-in directly into a cabinet sim
with no need for an amp sim plug-in in between the focus is really on high gain guitar sounds
