I just wanted to write a quick thank you note about your free Guitar plugin Boogex. Initially, I was impressed with it for exactly what you intended it for- creating some nicely charactered distortion for clean guitar sounds. Since it was on sale, I eventually purchased another guitar distortion software package, and I had a good time with that too. Then it occured to me that I might try my new guitar sounds on an older project that I was never satisfied with the distortion I had tracked, and as it was recorded in, I had been stuck with it. I tried the newer, I purchased guitar software and it sounded horrible. I was a bit depressed. But then, on a lark, I tried your Boogex software and it worked beautifully! The improvement to these tracks is huge, and the personal satifaction is great. To be able to improve something even a bit would have been good, but this improvement was huge and convincing. I will definately be using this product in the future and looking to purchase plug ins from you as well. Thank you very much.

I uses the Voxengo Boogex as an speaker simulator very often. I think it is the best of any others. The Drive knob is very effective and overall sounds like the real combo. Here is an example of using it:
adamp1-ADA%20MP-1.mp3
This little song was recorded just in line of soundcard with ADA MP-1 tube preamp. No additional plugins were used, no additional hardware. Just a tube pre and Boogex. I think it is cool. Hope Voxengo can uses the stereo impulses in future..

Boogex Rox! I use it every day! It's intuitive interface and vast amount of mic/cabinet combinations make it suitable for any genre! Hungry for CPU power, though.

this is the first plugin that really sounds
like an expensive tube amplifier top with box.
I've been looking for such a realistic sound for a long time!
forget amplitube
forget guitar rig
i'm not talking bullshit.

Wow! My #1 Amp sim, and sucks up very little CPU. You can get everything from your warm, classic blues sounds to completely melt-your-face-alien-distortion (my fave)! Try it on synths, too!
Great product. Thank You

The Voxengo Boogex plugin has been becoming the second most used effect in all of my tracks just after the Voxengo Elephant. It doesn't get a lot of use on guitar sounds around here, but it sure can make a saw synth or bassline truely fierce! Lead synths, Bass synths, Drums...they all go through Boogex and come out mean and nasty on the other end. The built-in cabinet convolution works good all by itself too. On top of that, this plugin is free! Amazing deal!

Voxengo Boogex is simply one of the best amp simulation around! and best of all it's free! it can even outperform some of the top of the line amp sims out there if you really know how to use this great plugin!
One of its best features (IMHO) is its EQ controls which are very responsive. And of course its speaker and mic emulation provide you with vast variety of sounds from subtle crunch rock to modern heavy sounds. I'll share you one of my tricks using Voxengo Boogex:
- Run your guitar through any of your favorite stompbox/drive pedal so it provides you distortion & gain. Yes, direct into your computer. It may sound odd but record that sound! You may find the tone very fuzzy but this is where BOOGEX comes into picture. Call it up in your VST plugins and turn OFF the DRIVE knob! then customize your EQ, Tone, Dynamics, Phase, Gain Levels, then select your AMP & MIC! (many to choose from, my fave is the Cabinet 6 SM57) Presto! you'll get a very nice Mic'd Amped Drive tone without even lugging your amp or fixing mic positions! Is that easy!
Cheers!
More power to the team of Voxengo!

Hiya
I found Voxengo Boogex quick to install, up and in use within mins...
This plug-ins was able to produce the varied guitar sound that I wanted in my recording with ease and less taxing on my CPU than seemly vst’s of its kind.
Well Done Voxengo

Having tried numerous amp/tube simulator plugins whilst attempting to create convincing keyboard-generated electric guitar sounds, I finally stumbled upon Boogex. Not only does it have great tonal manipulation, but best of all it growls beautifully, without any of the fizzy 'overlay' that spoils some other amp simulations. I also use it with NI's B4-II as a 'valve Leslie preamp' (in preference to the B4-II's overdrive), and to give Wurlitzer pianos, Clavinets and other vintage keys a convincingly mic'ed-up and gutsy sound. Not just for guitarists, then... You do know you're nuts for giving this away? A brilliant plugin - many thanks!

Wow. The cabinet impulses are something else. I haven't gotten completely comfortable with the distortion/amp portion of this yet, but the cabinet convolver(?) is quite nice. This is a great advertisement for other Voxengo plugins too!
