Just updated to version 2.0. Tube Amp's sound is said to vary from "a mild warm overdrive to a fuzzy distortion". It also sports a -6dB/oct low-pass filter and supports multi-channel processing. We should also tell you that Voxengo has updated another of its free plug-ins, MSED, to v2.1.

AcmeBarGig has certainly been busy this week, as it's also released this Impulse Response-powered amp plug-in (you can load up the IRs of your choice). Promising clean tones and said to be "a blank canvas to experiment with", and comes with a selection of IRs to get you started.
