TSE X50 is an upcoming freeware emulation of the Peavey 5150+ guitar amp. A public beta version is currently available for download from the official TSE forum.
This plugin is still in development, it’s previewed to get people’s opinions and tips/feedback regarding improvement of sound/nitpicks.. Use it at your own risk! The plugin is at this stage pretty heavy on the CPU compared to most ampsims on the market today, so you’ve been warned. Mix at low quality settings and enable high quality before mixdown.. or just freeze/bounce etc if it becomes a pain in the ass.
The poweramp has a selectable tubes/adjustable bias etc… If you change a tube, you also need to change the bias and search for that particular “sweet spot” according to your taste. Each tube has different gain, so you might have to compensate for volume with the output control as no normalization is implemented. The 6L6GC and EL34 tubes has recommended bias settings as of -51V and -39V,
use your ears.
I loved TSE 808 and X30 by the same dev, so check those out too if you’re in search of more quality guitar freeware.
