Ace! A free tube amp emulation for PC and Mac
Get the 50s amp sound for nothing in your DAW
Shattered Glass Audio has freed the tweed and modelled classic valves to create Ace, an AU/VST/RTAS plugin amp simulator.
In homage to classic 50s Fender tube amps, Ace also emulates common hardware mods, giving a Feedback control and recreating electronic tweaks to the sound. There's also an optional cab emulation and stereo mode, as well as two distortion flavours. What's not to like?
