Goblyn by Aurora DSP – Amp Simulator Plugin VST3 Audio Unit AAX

Free Heavy-Hitting Guitar Amp Sim

Aurora DSP’s Goblyn is a free guitar amp sim VST plugin designed for creating brutal, high-gain tones. This plugin is not for the faint of heart; it’s a beast that delivers a crushing, modern metal sound with ease.

Based on a studio-standard metal amp (the EVH 5153) boosted with a top-tier overdrive, Goblyn provides an aggressive and responsive playing experience. It features a simple yet effective control set that allows you to dial in a wide range of heavy tones, from tight and punchy rhythms to soaring leads. Whether you’re playing djent, metalcore, or any other subgenre that demands raw power, Goblyn is ready to deliver the sonic mayhem you crave.
