ToneBytes – Pedals x32 VST WiN [free]

Pedals x32 is a free VST effect plugin for Windows that simulates a chain of guitar pedals, amps, speakers, and rack units for processing electric guitar and bass. It can also be used on other audio sources for creative sound design. The interface mimics real hardware, letting you pick from 19 pedal models, 2 amps, 7 speaker cabinets, and 3 rack units. These are original designs, not emulations of specific real-world gear, but they follow the same operating principles. You can combine effects with a few clicks and even choose the floor material under the pedals—parquet, metal, or carpet—to add a subtle mood. A built-in preset manager lets you save, recall, and share your setups with other users. The plugin supports VST automation and full MIDI learning, so you can map parameters to a controller. It runs on Windows in any VST-compatible host, including FL Studio, Ableton Live, and others. Pedals x32 is aimed at hobbyist producers and guitarists who want a straightforward, free tool for shaping tones and experimenting with virtual pedal chains without spending money.
