BTE Audio’s freeware Ibanez Tube Screamer emulation in VST plugin format has been updated to v.2.0. Great days for guitar players on a budget since they have two freebie Tube Screamer emus to choose from (TSE 808 being the other one), as well as the cheap €9 emu by Mokafix (although that one is currently unavailable, thanks to [vian] for informing be about it).
Here’s more info about TS’ Secret:
Soft clipping alone is not sufficient to emulate the elusive creamy character of a legendary vintage overdrive pedal. In order to explore the secret ingredients of legendary sound and feel, every subtlety throughout the entire signal path should be meticulously analyzed and documented. Only this ensures authentic recreation of the exact sound and feel of the legend in the digital domain. TS’ Secret is the result of this keen but painful philosophy.Just like its legendary role model, TS’ Secret preserves the original dynamics of its input signal, which avoids muddiness and vastly improves clarity and responsiveness (see the accompanying article for details). Regardless of the overdrive amount, it stays in focus and delivers the ultimate touch sensitive dynamic punch.
