So I was doing some research for my blogging paper, and came across these guys Mysto and Pizzi. They are two young producers (21 & 22) that have become quite popular in recent years. They have done commercials for Virgin Mobile, Geico, and others. They have even done a song for R. Kelly. They do a weekly video called Beatmaking Wednesdays. Check it out! They're pretty sick dudes!

VST Effect: FrettedSynth Free Amp v3
Features:
-100+ presets
-about 10 built-in customizable pedal effects (delay, wah, flanger, etc)
-Speaker selection
-tempo/tap for delay, phaser, etc
-EQ
-sweet GUI
Sound:
This plug-in sounds great. Anything from a downright funky wah to a screaming metal tone, FAv3 can do it all. For a practicing guitarist, it is the perfect tool. It takes up literally no space, has all the features you need, and sounds great. I began by messing around with the plug-ins, and found some great ones, and some "eh" ones. For a lot of the Drive presets, I found that the EQ needed to be adjusted to get a solid sound. The Effected presets use the pedal effects in varying combinations, one of which I used in the demo below.
Ease of Use:
This plug-in requires both knowledge of guitars and knowledge of standard VST plug-ins. It's not difficult to use, but it may take some getting used to. I am not a guitarist by any means (you'll hear that in the demo), so some of it was over my head. It's not overwhelming, and it's fun to play with, so get going!
Overall:
Download this plug-in. It has got to be one of the best free amp simulation plug-ins out there. It sounds great, it's fun to use, and is really powerful! End of story.
