What's a good, free VST or standalone amp emulator like Guitar Rig and Amplitube?

[Diego]

We're playing in a town about 400 miles away and I don't feel like throwing my amp into a bus so I wanna take my netbook + audio interface.
I'll go straight to the PA.

What free software is there that I can use to sim an amp?
Standalone hopefully, but if it's VST I'll deal with it.
I'll use my pedals for dirt and FX, so I won't need a MIDI pedalboard by now, just a clean amp setting to work with.

If you have a PC there are a ton of free ones, just google it, check VST planet

Maybe this: http://freemusicsoftware.org/category/free-vst-effects-2/amp-simulators

But I've not tried any because I use amplitube. And since that is pretty good software:

Do you have an iphone or ipod? Then you could get irig for only 30 bucks!

One more thing if you go 'simulating':
Get a good speaker sim! I know you don't like buzzy sounds and a good cam sim will make things a little 'rounder' sort of.
I recommend and use the one from this link: http://www.guitarampmodeling.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=2631

I use FreeAmp 3 Full with Live Professor Beta with a surround system. I am not selling my tube amps, but for free it sounds pretty good.

FreeAmp: FreeAmp
Live Professor: LiveProfessor

Try Vandel or Studio Devil. Both are cool, not a tube amp, but really rockin'. I have used both seperatly and together, toghther I get some pretty monster tones.

Amplitube is my favourite if your not after plexi crunch (i cant get a good old school marshall rock tone eithe rtoo buzzy high gain JCM 900ish or too clean) but I love their AC30, Peavey and Recto models and their fenders are standard nice clean sounds.

AMPLITUBE LOL

Amplitube (with a B) is the correct product name.

FWIIW, I downloaded the free version of the iPhone app. First impression was that it sounded better than any other amp modelling simulation that I have tried to date. Second impression was, these pop-up Buy Full Version Now messages are pissing me off.
