What is it?

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:

Features

Platform Support

Stompbox currently can be run in the following ways:

Installation

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".

User Data Location

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.

Building From Source

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.
