Free Emissary 2.0 virtual amp plug-in for your DAW. The new Ignite Amps Emissary 2.0 virtual guitar amp is available for download now and it includes 6 free Impulse Responses. Coded by STL Tones, this amp could be perfect for adding some high-gain amp tones to your DAW free of charge.
Two free plugins from STL Tones
Ignite Amps EMISSARY is a guitar amp plugin.
NadIR is a dual Impulse Response loader.
EMISSARY is different from other guitar amp plugins that you have used.
This plugin is a model of the physical EMISSARY amp ONLY – meaning it does NOT contain any guitar cab models.
If you load up EMISSARY and notice that it sounds bad….uh…yeah, because you’re just hearing a guitar amp with no cab!
So, you’ll need to use an impulse response loader in order for things to sound correct.
And luckily, STL Tones has provided an IR loader for FREE too. Or, use any other impulse response loader you prefer.
EMISSARY has lots of controls.
Go from clean to high gain metal, adjust the low and high mids separately, and even switch tubes and adjust the bias.
NadIR is a free impulse response loader, and it comes with 6 free guitar cabinet impulse responses.
You can also use your own impulses responses if you prefer.
NadIR also lets you load two impulse responses at the same time, like a dual cab setup. Mix and blend these to taste.
For those who don’t know, you would place your impulse response loader AFTER your guitar amp plugin in your DAW.

Both EMISSARY and NadIR are VST, AU, and AAX compatible.
I’ve been playing around with the free LePou amp sims in order to try and find a workaround to run more amp sims simultaneously without the massive CPU hit of Recabinet 4.0.3.
The LePou amp sims work well, especially Le456, but unfortunately I cannot use the LeCab impulse response loader because there’s no 64-bit version available for Windows, and the 64-bit version of Ableton Live 9 I’m using won’t run 32-bit plugins.
So I went looking for another free IR loader to get the job done and I came across the NadIR plugin by Ignite Amps.
Ignite Amps have a bunch of other free stuff as well, including tube amp simulators, preamps, and pedals. All the plugins are available in VST and AU formats for MAC and Windows, 32 and 64 bit.
So far I’ve only gotten around to trying NadIR, their impulse response loader. Well, technically they call it an “impulse response convolver”. Either way it’s designed for guitar and bass cabinet simulation.
NadIR is low on CPU, which is a plus, and it can load two IRs at once. The plugin also has high and low pass filters, latency delay control, panning, settings for quality and options for stereo, mono, and dual mono.
NadIR doesn’t come with any IRs preloaded, but here’s where you can download a crapload of Impulse Responses for free.
NadIR Features
- Zero Latency
- Low CPU usage
- Three routing modes: Mono, Dual Mono and Stereo
- Selectable quality control for max IR length (up to 0.185 seconds)
- Automatic high-quality resampling for IRs with different sampling rates
- High-quality analog shaped filters
- Selectable delay for phase interactions between loaded IRs
