Download the current .deb install package for your platform:

Run the following shell commands:

sudo apt update
cd ~/Downloads
sudo apt-get install ./toobamp_1.0.17_arm64.deb

 

  • TooB Neural Amp Modeler (NEW in 1.0.17!)

    Guitar amp emulations based on Neural Net modeling. A port of Steven Atkinson's astounding Neural Amp Modeler to LV2.

    Download model files from ToneHunt.org, or (if you're feeling adventurous) train your own models.  

          

     

  • TooB BF-2 Flanger (NEW in 1.0.15!)

    Simulates a famous flanger.

     

          

     

  • TooB Stereo Convolution Reverb (NEW in 1.0.15!)

    Simulates stereo reverb from pre-recorded stereo or Ambisonic b-format impulse response files.

     

          

     

  • TooB Convolution Reverb (NEW in 1.0.14!)

    Simulates reverb from pre-recorded impulse response files.

     

          

     

  • TooB Cab IR (NEW in 1.0.14!)

    Simulates guitar cabinet frequency responses from pre-recorded impulse files.

     

          

     

  • Toob ML Amplifier

    Artificial-Intelligence/Machine-Learning-based emulation of a number of different guitar amps and overdrive/distortion pedals.

     

          

     

  • TooB CE-2 Chorus

    A faithful digital replica of the Boss CE-2 Chorus.

     

  • TooB Freeverb

    A particularly well-balanced reverb, based on the famous Freeverb algorithm.

     

          

     

  • TooB Input Stage

    For initial conditioning of guitar input signals. Trim level, noise-gating, and an EQ section that provides low-pass, hi-pass and bright-boost filtering.

     

          

     

  • TooB Tone Stack

    Guitar amplifier tone stack. Select a Fender Bassman, Marshal JCM800, or Baxandall tone stack.

     

          

     

  • TooB Power Stage

    Guitar amplifier power stage emulation. Three super-sampled gain stages with flexible control over distortion/overdrive characteristics allow you to generate anything from warm sparkling clean tones to blistering full-on overdrive. Generally used in conjunction with the TooB Tone Stack and Toob CamSim plugins.

     

          

     

  • TooB Cab Simulator

    Rather than relying on expensive convolution effects, Toob CabSim provides an EQ section designed to allow easy emulation of guitar cabinet/microphone combinations.

     

          

     

  • TooB Tuner

    An stable, accurate guitar tuner. (Currently only useful with PiPedal).

     

          

     

  • TooB Spectrum Analyzer

    Live-signal spectrum analyzer. (Currently only useful with PiPedal).

     

          

     

Building ToobAmp

Prerequisites

Run the following commands to install prerequisites:

 sudo apt update
 sudo apt install build-essential
 sudo apt install cmake
 sudo apt install lv2-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libflac++-dev zlib1g-dev libdbus-1-dev
 sudo apt install libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev catch2 librsvg2-dev liblilv-dev

Clone the repository to your local machine.

In the project directory, run:

 git submodule update --init --recursive

If you are using Visual Studio Code, you will still need to perform the previous command after cloning the project, since Visual Studio Code does not yet understand submodules.

Building

ToobAmp was built using Visual Studio Code, with CMake build files, so it's easier to configure and build TooBAmp if you are using Visual Studio Code.

If you are using Visual Studio code, install the Microsoft CMake extension, and load the project directory. Visual Studio Code will automatically detect and configure the project. Build and configuration tools for the CMake project can be accessed on the Visual Studio Code status bar.

If you are not usings Visual Studio Code, the following shell scripts, found in the root of the project, can be used to configure, build and install the project:

./config.sh     #configure the CMake project

./build.sh   # build the project.

After a full build, run the following command to install ToobAmp:

./install.sh

To build the debian package, run

./makePackage

Please relocate components, and package information if you're going to permanently fork ToobAmp to ensure that Debian packages don't conflict with each other.

If you are building the plugins for use with a host other than PiPedal, you should read this:
