things sound better when they're freee

Does it sound like a Bogner? not really... the controls have a weird response, not unlike this guy's marhsall… but its still sounds kinda good once you can out think the weird response. I've never used this for guitar after I tested it out but its handy on synths and stuff to remove a little of the DI blandness. Like all this guy's stuff, if you want it to sound like a guitar amp you need a cab sim or some good cab IRs.
