Bogren Digital’s Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 amp simulator plugin is free to download for a limited time (usually €49).
The no-fuss, one-knob plugin provides a straightforward path to a boutique tube amp that even terrible guitarists like me can’t steer off track.
There’s no indication of when the limited-time offer will end, so get it while you can.

The plugin emulates the tone of the MLC Subzero 100, a costly custom-made amplifier primarily loved for its high-gain prowess.
The hardware unit has three channels: Clean (American-style), Drive 1 (British-style crunch hot-rodded PLEXI 1968), and Drive 2 (ultimate high gain, British-style hot-rodded PLEXI 1968).
Bogren Digital has a fully-fledged Subzero 100 emulation, offering more control than the one-knob plugin, and it’s worth noting that the developer has a site-wide 50% sale running (at the time of writing).
I mention the full emulation because you might expect the one-knob version to lack versatility, but that isn’t the case.
Although Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 is plug-and-play, and the developer designed it to sound good with minimal effort, it’s more flexible than expected.
It offers the same three channels that you get from the full version, but in this case, the channel switches as you increase the gain.
At low gain settings, you’ll see a green light (Clean); up the ante to see orange (Drive1/crunch), and max it out for red (Drive 2/ultimate high-gain).
I think it’s a very clever and intuitive design, and it delivers a lovely blend of impressive tones and simple operation.
Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 features a Pedal switch, which is like a boost pedal, adding something slightly different to each channel.
On the clean channel, the Pedal switch makes the tone a little fatter. It adds some extra crunch to the Drive channels, giving the high-gain setting a modern metal sound.
Guitar buffs should snap this freebie up while they can, and it’s an excellent tool for anyone to have in their locker.
Krimh Drums is another freebie you can get from Bogren Digital. It’s not a temporary freebie, so there’s no rush, either. Feel free to make yourself a nice cup of coffee, watch a movie, read a lengthy novel, or travel around the globe before downloading.
But none of that is true for Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100. Forget about the coffee if you want to score this one.
Ampknob MLC S_Zero 100 is available in AU, VST3, and AAX formats for macOS (10.13 and higher) and Windows (10 and higher).
