Look what I coded - DAW Audio Guitar FX plug-in...
« on: August 24, 2009, 01:24:00 am »
I'm still working on programming skills, one thing I've been working on is coding my own electric guitar-oriented JS and VST plug-ins.

I'm getting close to finishing up a plug-in that acts as a Guitar Pre-Amp/Overdrive effect that doesn't totally suck like so many other ones I've heard out there.

Just today I've managed to finally implement, as part of the effect, a feature that dynamically responds to the input and alters the tone and overdrive at different frequencies based upon it - kind of like how with real tubes the amp outputs a different kind of sound responding to how hard the guitarist plays.

When it is done and ready for release I plan to give it away, possibly open-sourcing it.  I know it won't sound like an expensive multi-thousand-dollar tube amp, but it sure won't deflate one's wallet like such an amp would.

Right now the input gate is total s***, I need to do a lot more work on that part as well as some other adjustments, but here is what it sounds like so far:

This was recorded at 96KHz, converted at the end to 44.1 for the flac file.

It uses about one-fifth the resources that the big commercial plug-ins (Line 6, NI Guitar Rig, etc.) use to do the same thing.

I'm looking for feedback from the musicians here on how they think it sounds so far.

Edit: This one's with the Gibson:
