10 Best Free Plugins on Plugin Boutique

1.L12X Solid State Amplifier

This Amp Simulator by Audiority is an analog simulation inspired by the Marshall Lead solid-state amplifier of the late ’80s. The huge difference between the newer solid-state amplifier and the original was that the original was an op-amp based amplifier, meaning instead of using tubes or transistors, the op-amp provides a huge amount of gain with very little distortion. But whenever the signal reaches the voltage applier, it gets clipped. This is not a problem anymore with the L12X, providing a great sounding amplifier with very few components. Some key features of this plugin are Analog Modelled Solid State Amplifier, 2 Channels (Clean/Boost), Resizable interface, No License File required.
