Good free distorted guitar plugin effects for punk/metal type music?

[Incinerator Drone]

I'm using Orion, I have a lot of effects but the only distortion on there is like... classic rock type distortion, even turned full up it is more fuzz than the kind of stuff modern punk rock, etc. use. I want something that would sound like well... Green Day guitars and such.

Anyone have suggestions?

Hire me to do live guitars.

I think he's asking about guitar effects not guitar samples...

Incinerator have you looked here yet?

Yeah I checked there, couldn't find much that works for punk and metal though.

1) what do you already have/use/what's wrong with it?

2) which guitar stompboxes (hardware) do work for punk, then?

3) find their software equivalents

4) pay if you have to ( http://www.amplitube.com/Main.html?metal/index.php or http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=guitarline&L=1 )

5) rock out

Seconding Yoozer's Guitar Rig suggestion.

Guitar Rig 3 has plenty of Green Day-esque fx presets right out of the box.

1. I have the Simulanalog Guitar Suite linked in that big thread. The distortions on that are too 70s fuzzyish for me, I really want two distortions... a clean distortion for the more melodic stuff and a metal distortion for the heavy stuff.

2. As far as actual pedals I have a Danelectro Fab Tone for the softer sounds and a Boss Metal Zone for the straight up metal. I don't know if I'm happy with them over anything else since I honestly only tried out a handful of pedals before buying, but if I could get something close on my computer that would be sweet. I want to be able to record clean and then add the distortion though.

3. Where to look though...

4. My brother actually gave me Guitar Rig but um... since it isn't mine it is technically illegal. And you need some product key or something which I don't have. How much does the actual version cost?

5. Hopefully getting there, slowly but surely. At least my clean guitar doesn't sound like total ass anymore.

Due to all kinds of nasty copyrights and trademarks, the usual names aren't used. However, you'll generally find a large selection in any guitar effect simulator.

If he bought it legally and gave it to you - well, Native Instruments allows license transfers.

And you need some product key or something which I don't have.

If he doesn't have one either, it's illegal.

How much does the actual version cost?

$299. Do check out the demo, though.

Excellent .

The Danelectro T-Bone might give you that Greenday-ish rhythm... but frankly you can spend a fortune on guitar pedals when something like Guitar Rig would set you straight for hundreds of pedals.
