Bidule is another option that works with Pro Tools First. Using Reaper in Pro Tools to Host VST Instruments and Plugins Reaper is a good option to use VST plugins in Pro Tools because it has a 60-day free fully-functioning demo and it only costs $60 to purchase. Plus it's a full DAW and not just a plugin like the other options. Uninstall the VST(i) plugins if the manufacturer provided an uninstaller, or go to the plugins' folders and delete the files. The VST(i)s may have created folders or files elsewhere too - you might want to find / delete those too. It is difficult to state a single method - it depends on the plugins. Then do a VST plugin Rescan in Reaper. As I've blogged about before, there are some really good amplifier simulators available as VST plugins. Leader of the pack is LePou's virtual Rectifier, Soldano and Engl. If you have two or four rhythm tracks, making the same adjustments to all tracks or copying the plugins between them rapidly becomes very tedious.

Complex MIDI generation algorithms mean that none of Melody Sauce's output is pre-programmed - the melodies are created for you based on settings you control.
Installing a VST from an.exe installer is a little easier but if we want to use our own folder then we have to use a few steps extra this also make it easier to find and verify that Reaper can find our newly installed VST plugin.

Reaper How To Install Vst
As I’ve blogged about before, there are some really good amplifier simulators available as VST plugins. Leader of the pack is LePou’s virtual Rectifier, Soldano and Engl. If you have two or four rhythm tracks, making the same adjustments to all tracks or copying the plugins between them rapidly becomes very tedious. If in Reaper you route all your rhythm tracks to a centralized bus (usually by just adding them as children to a parent folder) and add the amp sim and cab impulse loader on that track, you suddenly get a weird mono version where all panning from sending (child) tracks are lost.
Luckily, I got a great tip from Wookieslayer at MG.org on how to fix this. Two steps:
1) Put the LeCto in stereo mode:
2) Set up two paired cabs in LeCab2 and pan them left and right (same panning percentage as on the respective child tracks):

Now you have a centralized bus for you amp sim with preserved panning. Not only is it much easier tweaking sound, it also uses less CPU as only single instances of the VSTs are active.
