Free Guitar Vst Logic

Plucked Acoustic Guitar by Thomas Field is a free guitar sample library for EXS24, the sampler instrument that comes with Logic Pro. The library was recorded in stereo using a pair of AKG 214 microphones and features up to four round-robins per sampled note.

Incredible. Guitar. Tone.

Now let me guess, the first thing that came to mind was probably a $5,000 guitar, and $3,000 amp, about $7,000 in microphones and another $20,000 in preamps and analog gear, right? Yikes… ready to take out a loan in the name of tone?

Don’t worry, neither are we. Luckily, you don’t need to drop that kind of cash to get the tone you want. Sometimes it’s just about making the best of what you got and dialing it in the perfect tone.

So let’s talk about what we can accomplish for free!

We’ve gone through hundreds of free plugins to find the best tools for sculpting professional guitar tones on a budget. Here are Wired Guitarist’s Top 5 Free Guitar Plugins.

1. LePou Amp Suite

I know, you’ve heard it a thousand times, but one more just to drive the point home…

These are hands down, the BEST free amp sim plugins on the market. LePou’s arsenal of amp sims include emulated high-gain giants like Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, ENGL E645, and even his own original design. It’s one thing to make an incredible sounding amp sim, it’s another to have an entire pack of them.

Be sure to check out the LePou Amp Suite!

2. TSE 808

Along with making a fantastic amp sim, the TSE X50, TSE makes one of the best overdrive plugins on the market. Using an overdrive pedal to tighten up your amp is one of the most standard moves in metal tone, and it works just as well with amp sims. TSE 808 is one of the most realistic tube screamer plugins we at Wired Guitarist have ever used, and the fact that it’s free is just insane. How can you say no to that?

Go grab the TSE 808!

3. OwnHammer Mesa Impulse Responses

Alright, you caught us, it’s not technically a plugin… but you’d be foolish to pass these up.

Quality cabinet emulations are key to getting a deep, rich, professional quality guitar sound. If you want some of the best in the business, look no further than OwnHammer. All of their impulse response packs contain dozens of high-quality IR’s, captured with the most pristine analog gear, and they are giving away a free package of these to anyone with enough smarts to download it.

Oh, I should probably mention that these IR’s are made from the industry standard in metal guitar cabinets… the Mesa Boogie Standard Slant 4×12 cab. Any questions? I didn’t think so.

Stop what you’re doing and download the OwnHammer Impulse Responses now.

4. LeCab 2.0

No matter what impulses you use, you’re going to need a plugin to load them into. LeCab is the most versatile, yet simplistic IR loader you’ll ever find. You can load up to 6 different IR’s at a time, blend them together, pan each one differently, flip a switch to keep things phase coherent, and way more.

What better to go with your free LePou amp sim than a free LePou impulse response loader?

5. Guitar Rig 5 Player

For everything else, you need Guitar Rig 5 Player. This free version of Guitar Rig comes with delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, and everything else you need to make a shoegazer’s dream pedalboard. Add in some noise gates and a tuner, and you’ve got everything you need to add the final polish to your tone.

Guitar Rig 5 Player is basically a bunch of free stuff all in one package. What’s not to love?

No matter what gear you use, it all comes down to knowing your gear. After spending some time with these plugins, we at Wired Guitarist have found some really impressive tones, and it just goes to show how little you have to spend to create competitive, punchy, articulate guitar tones.

HOW TO USE VST PLUGINS

VST plugins are virtual instruments and effects that you can use in productions. They can recreate classic synth designs, or represent completely new ways of making sound. VST plugins are easy to use; download them, install, and your DAW will pick them up and let you use them in the workstation. From classic instruments to experimental indie gems, there’s a huge world of both paid and free VST plugins to choose from. Native has spent decades creating and developing some of the world’s leading VST plugins with REAKTOR, KONTAKT, KOMPLETE KONTROL, and loads more.

HOW TO USE VST PLUGINS FOR SYNTH SOUNDS

VST plugins can be used in a wide variety of ways to create synth sounds for songwriting and production. Almost any instrument can be turned into a VST plugin, and more often than not, when you need a certain kind of sound there’s a VST plugin for it. There are several varieties of VST plugins for synth sounds that are worth noting. Polyphonic VST plugins create more than one note at a time, so are great for building complex melodies, chords, and harmonies, while monophonic VST plugins play one note at a time and are commonly used for basslines. Some VST plugins strictly model themselves on reproducing sounds you would expect from analogue instruments, but others go way beyond that. Wavetable VST plugins like MASSIVE and MASSIVE X tend to focus on helping producers create something unusual and completely different to traditional instruments, and can be more useful for experimental productions than other VST plugins.

HOW TO USE MULTIPLE VST PLUGINS

Trying things out and exploring new territory is hugely important when trying to craft something unique, and using multiple VST plugins will give you a wide range of instruments and sounds to work with. Chaining multiple VST plugins together sis a typical way to start crafting a sound you can call your own. Feeding one VST plugin instrument into a VST plugin effect will alter them even further. This is also common with digital production as lots of recording tools come in VST plugin form – there’s no issue with running multiple VSTs at once – simply load them in and start playing. Native offers over 2,000 free sounds and more than 6 GB of free VST plugin content with KOMPLETE START, so if you’re looking for some inspiration it’s a great way to get started.
