Stompbox is a guitar amplification and effects application, arranged as a digital version of a guitar pedalboard.
This github repository is the front-end for the software (the core codebase is stompbox), to be used either as a remote interface to an actual pedalboard implementation, or as a standalone VST plugin.
This is what it looks like running a Windows/Linux remote or as a VST plugin:
This is what it looks like running as an Android remote:
- Pedalboard-style layout (Amp/Cab with input chain and FX loop)
- Neural Amp Modeler support
- Cabinet impulse responses
- Tonestack/EQ
- Noise Gate
- Drive (clean boost, tube screamer)
- Time-based effects
- Delay
- Reverb (algorithmic and convolution)
- Compressor
- Chorus
- Phaser
- Flanger
- Tremolo
- Vibrato
- Wah/Auto-Wah
- Tuner
- Audio file player
Stompbox currently can be run in the following ways:
- Headless on Linux (I use it on a Raspberry Pi based pedalboard)
- Remote UI on Windows, Linux or Android
- Standalone app on Windows
- VST3 plugin on Windows
To run it as a VST3, you can simply download it from the releases section of this repo.
Simply extract the .zip file and copy the resulting folder to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3".
Files, such as NAM models, impulse responses, etc. go in your local user roaming AppData folder. Go to "%APPDATA%" in file explorer, and you should see a "stompbox" folder after the VST has been loaded at least once.
Make sure you clone this github repo recursively:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mikeoliphant/StompboxUI
Building should be straightforward using Visual Studio.
NOTE: Build and run the "StompboxImageProcessor" project first - it creates texture assets that are required for the main build.
