Three related projects for guitar sound processing were released.
KPP 1.2
Software guitar processor in the form of a set of LV2 and LADSPA plug-ins.
The tubeAmp plugin uses profiles in its own *.tapf format, so you can
simulate the sound of any real models of guitar amplifiers.
Other plugins from the set
emulate Fuzz, Distortion, Overdrive, Noise Gate, Octaver pedals.
Main changes since 1.0:
- Added built-in file selection dialog instead of calling zenity
- Changed Fuzz and Distortion plug-in models, now they simulate pedals
FuzzFace and Boss DS-1 - Added new profiles for tubeAmp
- Fixed bug with GUI plugins in Qtractor
- Fixed a lot of bugs, including incorrect work of the Octaver plugin
tubeAmp Designer 1.2
Guitar processor and profile editor *.tapf. Maybe
be used instead of the tubeAmp plugin as a standalone JACK application.
This is the first release, version 1.2 immediately for unification with KPP, because it is used
the same guitar amp emulator.
Allows you to create and edit profiles for tubeAmp.
Additional functions:
-
profiler. Allows you to pass the test signal through any real amplifier,
path, software or hardware processor, electrical circuit model. Automatically
analyzes the result and adjusts the profile parameters. In essence, this process is similar to working with Kemper Amps. -
Auto equalizer. Allows you to correct the sound of the finished profile according to the sample recording. An analogue of specmatch for guitarix or Amp Match for BIAS Amp.
-
Deconvolver. Allows you to receive impulse responses (impulses in the common people) of guitar cabinets
or anything by passing a test signal through them. The received impulse can be sent immediately
into an editable profile, or you can save it to a wav file and use it in any convolver
or impulse player. -
Convolver. Allows you to superimpose several impulses on top of each other. For example, you can add
reverb to the finished profile.
SpiceAmp 1.0
Slow but accurate non-real-time guitar processor that uses
as an ngspice emulator. Demanding on computing resources, so for now you can only
process guitar recordings in a wav file, outputting the result to a wav file. This is especially useful in conjunction
with tubeAmp Designer - you can create *.tapf profiles using the SPICE model and then use
them in real time in tubeAmp.
For work we need:
-
Model of the emulated amp/pedal or entire path in SPICE. Good for creating
wonderful program Qucs-S, but you can use any other SPICE model editor,
or write the code by hand. -
Cabinet impulse (optional, not needed for pedals).
Attached are models of some classic tube amps,
models of almost all tubes used in guitar amplifiers (triodes and pentodes), for
creating their models, the impulses of the two cabinets. It is recommended to use lamp models
from this delivery, they are specially selected and adjusted for the best work in
heavy overloaded modes.
