Comments on: Mercuriall Ampbox Now Offers FREE Guitar Effect Pedals https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2023/12/29/mercuriall-ampbox/ Freeware for music producers! Sat, 30 Dec 2023 08:48:15 +0000 hourly 1 By: robinibbo https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2023/12/29/mercuriall-ampbox/comment-page-1/#comment-373308 Sat, 30 Dec 2023 08:48:15 +0000 https://bedroomproducersblog.com/?p=50666#comment-373308 Most of the FX were already free which you can download independently, the Metal Area is particularly good, if that’s your bag. Put this up against IK Amplitude and it pales in comparison in both of sound and cost, especially when Amplitude MAX is on £70 for all the amps and all the effects, not just Mercuriall’s measly one amp offering.

They are not alone in this. Not even alone in the guitar sim world.

To download the plugin you need to put in your email. Install process is pretty typical, no need to register or download downloaders. Just install one 250mb+ file. You get to choose if you want to install standalone app. Once you open the plugin as effect you get Preamp, Poweramp modules on by default. In those modules it says “This product is in a demo mode” it is unclear when demo mode expires and website says nothing about it. Turning off preamp and poweramp module clears the plugin screen and you can enable guitar pedal modules at any time. The website calls plugin “next gen” really nothing next gen about it. Does not give me a polished feel about it. The pedal sound personally is nothing special especially chorus pedal. I get the vibe that author is trying to help the developer out a bit which is nice. If you’re looking for a similar, but higher quality free plugin and don’t mind going through a software manager, I recommend trying Amplitube from IK Multimedia. Hope this helps somebody.

The guitar pedals are FREE even if you don’t purchase the software. That’s what’s covered in the article. I’m adding another paragraph and a screenshot to clarify.

Agreed, I see I’m not the only one who thinks this

There have been a few duds from multiple contributors here – it’s just the nature of free plugins. Don’t like the inconsistency that comes with it? Then pay for all your software.

Yeah it’s just what I’m wondering about…
It’s not really clear.

FREE when purchasing = NOT FREE
