TSE Audio has releases TSE X50, a free guitar amplifier effect plugin for Windows.
The X50 is a digital emulation of a famous US guitar amp. Because two almost similar amps were made, both red channels are modeled. The green channel is modeled after the first make. You can’t go wrong with this amp for metal!
The TSE X50 amp is modeled against a schematic of the original unit and every stage is taken into account with minimal simplifications.TSE X50 features
- Input Level: Control the incoming (guitar) signal. Value of 1.0 = +0dB and 2.0 = +6dB.
