Would you like to know what the best free VST plugins are? The truth is we all love free stuff, right? More importantly, free stuff that is truly valuable. It’s been a while since I've covered the best free VST plugins so I thought it was time to list a few more.
At the top of my list is none other than the Blue Cat's Freeware Plug-ins Pack II. What I love about Blue Cat Audio is that their free plugins are available for Mac and PC, and they support 64bit operating systems.
The best free VST plugins, in my opinion, don't come with limited time trials. Though there is a use for the demo plugin, I like something I can use for longer than 30 days. This is one of the many reasons I appreciate the MFree Effects Bundle from Melda Production. This free set comes with a compressor, EQ, limiter, flanger, tremolo, stereo expander, and tons more.
I'll add a few to my list below.
If you're looking for a tool to manipulate the stereo field with ease, check out the Stereo Tool from Flux.
Another useful plugin for mid/side processing is Voxengo MSED.
AmpLion Free is the self proclaimed Ultimate Guitar Amp Simulation At No Cost.
The Bend Box from Tone Bytes is certainly an entertaining free VST plugin, without a doubt. More for FX use but pretty cool nonetheless.
Here is another free Reverb from Teru KAMOGASHIRA. Check out the Freeverb 3
The modern plugin pack is also worth a look from Antress. Download that here.
Well, that's all for now on my list of the best free VST plugins. I'd love to hear your comments or any other suggestions that you would add to this list. Please add them to the section below.

Thanks for sharing JW!
I like a lot of the same ones mentioned above. In addition, the free Reaper plugins are great very handy. I grab their EQ, compressor, or gate more times than not, especially if I need external sidechaining. They handle that well.

I’ve found no better free plugs than the Variety of Sound collection by Bootsie. He’s won several KVR shootouts.
Thanks for the input Rob! Here is the link for anyone else interested in the plugins. http://varietyofsound.wordpress.com/downloads
