Default Best free RTAS plug-ins?

Somebody recently turned me on to Bomb Factory Studio Essentials Free Plug-Ins on the Digi website, which includes a plug-in modeled after the UREI 1176 limiter, one of my favorite pieces of studio gear.

I'm wondering if anyone else out there has particularly favorite plug-in to recommend. Can be for any task or effect you find useful. Only requirements are that it: (1) has to be free; (2) can run on Mac-based PT LE 6 or higher; and (3) functions as well as, if not better than, a comparable pay-to-play plug-in.

The bluecat stuff is ok, i wouldn't say any free plugin blows me. Flux stereo tool is pretty handy.

Ditto on Craig's comment about the essentials.

The Massey Plugs. The free versions may not save thier settings but they sound great.

If it's free, does that really matter which ones are the best? I mean if it's free, why not just load them all?

The Tamaramuse Thingthatgoesacrosserizer plug is better than free.

Tamaramuse Audio, LLC gives you $.39 to use it.

Great idea for a thread. In years past I have dug up the odd decent freeware plugin. My memories no good though and as I'm on a new system now, it'd be nice to be reminded of some good ones...

After all the frenzy of loading all the free plugs I could find, my list now only consists of two:

1./ Spook Keys- a Theremin
2./ Delay Lama- a fat little bastard.
