FreeAMP is a simplified edition of Klevgränd’s recently released REAMP audio gear modeling plugin (currently on sale for $35.99). The freeware version is based on a selection of saturation algorithms which were taken from the full product. These have been combined together in order to provide a unique mixture of tape and tube saturation which will blend well with a wide variety of audio sources.
Unlike its more advanced cousin REAMP, the freely downloadable FreeAMP plugin doesn’t allow the user to customize the saturation tone and character. Instead, Klevgränd has built a streamlined user interface which only consists of three control parameters. The Drive knob controls the amount of saturation applied to the signal and the Mix knob is used to adjust the relative levels of the dry and processed audio. Finally, the Output control is used to define the output volume of the two signals combined.
Thanks to its simple control layout, FreeAMP is perfect for handling quick saturation tasks and is even capable of parallel processing which works particularly well on drums and other types of percussive audio material. The whole package reminds us quite a bit of the excellent Saturation Knob plugin by Softube which is another great choice for an easy to use saturation tool.
As for FreeAMP sound, it does indeed resemble the type of complex analog saturation you’d expect to hear coming from a combination of tape and tube gear. It’s not overly harsh and it truly shines when used for subtle processing of the audio signal on the input. Of course, you can always max out the Drive parameter for some in-your-face distortion but I personally prefer using plugins such as this one sporadically across the entire mix.
The download and activation procedure is simple and hassle-free. After completing the checkout process on Klevgränd’s website (user account registration required), you will be provided with the FreeAMP download link and your personal license number. Enter your license key when launching FreeAMP for the first time to activate your installation and you’re good to go.
FreeAMP is available for free download via Klevgränd(3.63 MB download size, ZIP archive containing EXE installer, 32-bit & 64-bit VST/AU/AAX plugin format for Windows & MacOS).
Lots of people are obsessed with the ‘warmth’ of analog studio gear. Sure—it sounds fuller, more human, more present.
But these days, modeling technology has become really good at simulating the effects of analog circuitry. Our computers and DAW apps are powerful enough to handle these VST workhorses.
Free Saturation Vst Download
So forget about spending tons of money on analog gear.
Here’s 7 VSTs (for both PC and Mac) that will give you that sweet analog warmth.
- SGA1566 Tube Preamp
- TDR Slick EQ
- Ace Amp
- Molot Compressor
- Voxengo Tube Amp
- MJUC jr. Compressor
- Softube Saturation Knob
What’s all the analog fuss about?
Ok, so what does analog circuitry do to your sound? What’s everyone so obsessed about?
What people like about analog sound are the quirks and imperfections.
So when people talk about ‘warm analog sound’ they’re referring to:
- Subtle distortion and drive
- Harmonic distortion
- Tape Saturation
- Vacuum tubes
- Preamps
What these processes do to your sound is often hardly noticeable. That’s what the magic’s about—you won’t hear them, but they’ll make a huge difference in how your track sounds and feels.
The cumulative effect of analog processes is what people are gushing about.
1. SGA1566 Tube Preamp
Shattered Glass Audio’s SGA 1566 gives you a single channel vintage tube preamp. The whole circuit is simulated in real time to get you that authentic analog sound.
Use the SGA 1566 as a saturation compressor to boost the warmth of your track. Or add a bit of grit with the tube overdrive.
The newest version is also lighter on your CPU––so no computer freak outs!!
Download the SGA 1566 for free here.
2. TDR Slick EQ
“This little guy sounds amazing” –Dave Pensado
The TDR Slick EQ is a sleek easy-to-use three-band EQ that gives you amazing sound—like all Tokyo Dawn Records plugins.
Warm up your sound by choosing a non-linear option under Output Stage. That’ll add subtle harmonic distortion and texture.
Download the TDR SlickEQ for free here.
3. Ace Amp
Ace Amp—another Shattered Glass Audio creation—is based on classic 1950s style tube amps.
Control the input, volume, feedback, output. Choose between three resampling options.
This amp plugin has simple controls and doesn’t eat up your CPU.
Hot Tip: Try it on vocals for a cool aesthetic effect.

4. Molot Compressor
Vladg’s Molot is a compressor with character. Even the vintage Soviet look is on point.
Molot will give your sound interesting color. I recommend reading the manual to learn how to tune it properly—it’s worth the read.
Download Molot for free here.
5. Voxengo Tube Amp
Voxengo’s Tube Amp gives you warm overdrive, fuzzy distortion and everything in between.
It imitates tube overdrive in the style of single-tube mic preamps.
Hot Tip: Use the low-pass filter to imitate the texture of lower-quality tubes.
Download Voxengo’s Tube Amp for free here.
6. MJUC jr. Compressor
Klanghelm’s MJUC jr. compressor is simple and elegant.
Use it for smooth compression or a heavier pumping effect. MJUC jr. is based on vintage compressors of the 1960s––it even looks like one.
Flip the ‘Time Constants’ switch to choose between slow, fast and auto. This changes the attack and release time. It affects other parts of the circuitry too, giving you interesting analog-style saturation.
