Hey Henrik! You should try going in to your Pod first, using the basic tone, then introduce FreeAmp3! It should sound a lot better! Also, go check out the Aradaz guitar simulators, they're quite basic, but sound really, really good... http://aradaz.blogspot.com/2008/06/aradaz-free-vst-download-link.html The downloads linx aren't obvious, you'll find them near the bottom of the webpage...

I haven't played around so much with the new free amp 3 but I know that there is a way to swich off the compressor. I use to play work with those amps in the track inspector and there you find something called reasign controll. there you will have many controlls that you can play around with and build your own sound. hth Jörgen Hansson!

I played around with freeamp3 a bit last night. It was accessable, but it sounded quite digital to me. When I turned down the volume on the guitar a bit, I couldnt have much sustain at all. First you heard the tone and then it was like pressing the stop key on something you recorded. Is it possible to switch off its compression? Otherwise, Simulanalogs Gsuite is great. It's half accessable, but it responds more like a real amp than many plugins that you have to buy. I also use Gearbox from Line6 which is great for metal souunds. /Henrik
