Melda free bundle: MFreeFXBundle | MeldaProduction
It's worth it just for the MEqaulizer alone. It has bit crushers, notepad tools, all kinds of goodies that i use even after investing in paid plugins
Analog Obsession: Analog Obsession is creating VST, VST3, AU (WIN / OSX) | Patreon
I could go on and on about this creator. Pedalz, the LA2A comp simulator, the fet bundle, the Bus comp. all analog gear emulations made by one guy, and I love them all so much. This isn't all in one bundle unless you donate, but for free you can scroll and download to your heart's content.
Toneboosters Legacy products: ToneBoosters | Audio Plug-ins | Support (at the "Where can I find older plugins" section)
This one works for me, but it might not work for everyone. Both collections have enough goodies that they could easily each get a lil shout out on their own. Dither, sibilance, and pitch correction are all solid. the meters are good. the track essentials bundle could easily replace your stock plugins.
Blue Cat Audio's free collection Blue Cat's Freeware Plug-ins Pack II - Download Freeware Audio Plugins (VST, VST3, AAX, Audio Unit) (Freeware) (bluecataudio.com)
3 band Semi-Parametric EQ, Amp Emulator, the gain control vst, and the spectrum analyzer all get shout outs from me. There isn't a lot of bells and whistles here but there isn't a vst here that isn't qaulity.
Dead Ducks FX Bundle Dead Duck Effects Bundle V1.0 | FREE VST PLUGINS (The link that's just " dead_duck_effects_bundle_1_0 ( 18.8 MB ) "
I originally only had experience with DDgate, and I loved it more than some paid noise gates. I tried the FX bundle and was not disappointed at all. Good stuff.
and the last of the big bundles that I know work for me is The Tokyo Dawn Labs free and/or legacy products
Tokyo Dawn Labs – Discontinued Products | Tokyo Dawn Records
Good Stuff. Another one that is a collection more than an outright "bundle" but still really good and I would recommend any of the compressors or Limiter no6
If I haven't included a Bundle that you think is worth mentioning DM me so I can test them. I tried to include stuff that was easy to navigate and readily available.
I've used every Plugin I've mentioned on this list at least a handful of times. If you find this useful and would like a list of single Vsts I can start working on that too
