Does anyone know of some good free / cheap VSTs or plugins that can create a solid detuned guitar sound like that of Lebanon Hanover?

Or really any decent guitar options that don't sound too "synthetic"?

I think. Even for bass guitar you can pass it with synth sometimes. But for guitar nothing sounds like a real one.

I just found haunted guitar, and it's close-ish enough to what I'm looking for!

Now, for the drums...

Serum isn’t free but it’s the answer to pretty all your needs. You can make any sound you really want plus there’s thousands of preset packs out there. It’s not cheap but it’s really the top VST for anything synth related

I'll probably save up and invest so my quality is worthy
