It's based on a Fender Blues Jr according to the vid. It sounds pretty good for a free plugin, but as you said there's tons of free VSTs and cheap solid state amps that can do better.

I think it sounds good for a hobby project though!

Oh, a $350 amp?[1] then?

Linking a store page just to illustrate that price tags are pointless when you talk about musical instruments, and also to give people who don't know an impression of what these $$$ go for.

You still need a sound system to get the sound out of a plug-in, and PA systems certainly aren't free. The cost of a comparable PA system + free plug in will easily exceed the cost of this amp.

This is why talking about $$$ while comparing a plug in vs. speaker hardware is kind of silly.

And it's great that we have this project! The project is great, the documentation is lacking, the title is not good at all.

Ok ok, used it's $350, but mine's the Tweed version. MSRP at $600.

But yes all good points and further proves that more money does not mean better sound.
