Keith Bloemer SmartGuitar Amp & Pedal Free VST VST3 [FREE]

Keith Bloemer’s SmartGuitarAmp and SmartGuitarPedal are free Windows effects for producers who want modeled guitar amplification and pedal-style distortion inside their DAW. They suit hobby musicians recording guitar parts or exploring driven tones without a complicated set of controls.

SmartGuitarAmp uses a WaveNet model to capture the behavior of a small hardware tube amplifier. Its clean/lead selection switches between the amp’s clean sound and fully driven setting, while Gain and EQ controls let you adjust the resulting tone. This gives you a focused starting point for cleaner passages or more distorted guitar tracks.

SmartGuitarPedal takes a similar modeling approach to distortion and amp tones, with the TS9 Tube Screamer pedal and Blues Jr. amplifier cited as hardware examples. Drive, Level, and Tone controls handle the amount of distortion, output level, and tonal balance.

For Windows users working in a compatible host such as FL Studio or Ableton Live, this pair offers a straightforward way to experiment with neural-modeled amp and pedal sounds.
