Many musicians have a limited budget to buy new instruments or effects. Above all, many of them use their budget to buy hardware and less about software. One of the effects I personally love on hardware as well as software are beside reverb / delay/distortion but also filters. Good sounding plugins can be expensive but there are several that cost you nothing.
I consider only free filter plugins that are:
- for PC & Mac at the same time
- free for everyone
- no time restriction
- 64-bit compatible
