Ah good, I find boost/overdrive/distortion/fuzz ‘virtual’ pedals to always be the biggest weak area in any & every one of the virtual guitar/bass guitar amplifier software that i have tried *personally*.

I rarely use overdrive/distortion in my music but every time I see one of these inspired by models I want to hook up my electric guitar and give it a go. The TSE-808’s DIY panel is just so inviting. If anyone does a proper BOSS Heavy Metal HM-2 I probably will ;-)
Dean, plusdistortion is another one to check perhaps.
