com/16-of-the-best-saturation-plugins-in-the-world/
http://www.audio-hardware-emus.com/waves_gtr3.html
The sequence of the plugins in our archive is random and does not
reflect any official ranking (that in fact does not exist). We tried to
list them alphabetically in the first place but soon found out that some
highlights deserve a better position. Thus, the sequence is not fully
preference-free; however, we tried our best to include our own testing,
opinions from user reviews, forums, blogs and our own discussions with
developers.
We are constantly updating the list; however, to reach a 100% completion
we need your help. Please send us your comments and suggestions to
improve this important record. Though you can send us comments directly,
we hope receiving constructive critique. For example, please avoid posting
messages, that this or that plugin is bad or sounds terrible. Tell us
rather how you would describe the difference to its original.
Lastly, note that we are not including any UAD or TDM plugins as we
wish to discuss native VSTs only (without the need of any additional DSP
power). Plus, our intention is to list software based on (more or less) pure
algorithms, excluding those based on impulse responses (e.g. Nebula or
Line 6 POD Farm) or sample-based plugins (e.g. Scarbee Mark I etc.). Still,
it is indeed difficult to evaluate which plugins are based on painstainking
analog modeling procedures and which ones are simply "claimed" to be
analog modeled while still be based on IRs.
