I might not get a POD after all, haha...
http://www.simulanalog.org/
FREE VST plugins that emulate a bunch of pedals (DS-1, Tube Screamer...) and two classic tube amps (Fender Twin, Marshall JCM900), written in a rather scientific manner. Forget Amplitube, it sounds like shit compared to this. The V-Amp fucking FAILS it. Even the POD doesn't have Marshall sounds this authentic. I'm blown the fuck away. Listen to this that I recorded after fucking around for 5 minutes with the Tube Screamer and JCM900:

(Yes, the bass is not properly tuned and has shitty tone, and bonus points if you recognize the riff)
Seriously... In a mix, I don't think anyone here could make out that this is not a real miked amp. I love when free stuff is better than expensive stuff. (That's why I use Linux, but that's a different story.)
