GFX Engine is a free Plug-in for Windows that enables guitarists to practice and perform on their PC, in real-time, using a standard sound card. Plug your guitar into your sound card’s line-input, construct a chain of Wavebyte GFX Plug-ins from the GFX Engine’s effect-chain editor, press power, and you can jam.

Please note - while the developer gives the effects engine away free, there is a charge for each effect. The engine by itself apears to be useless if you do not buy some of the effects.

Features
