go-dsp-guitar is a multichannel audio effects processor for electric guitars and other musical instruments. It uses digital signal processing techniques inspired by circuit simulation to reproduce the characteristics of electronic effects and amplifier components.
Unlike applications built around a single audio input, go-dsp-guitar provides separate signal chains for multiple input channels. Each connected instrument can have its own effects arrangement, allowing several musicians or audio sources to be processed independently.
The software runs without a conventional desktop window. Instead, it provides a browser-based interface for configuring the signal chains, adjusting processing parameters and monitoring audio levels. The interface can be accessed from the same computer or over a network.
go-dsp-guitar supports live performance through JACK as well as offline processing of audio files. This makes it useful for both interactive effects processing and applying configured signal chains to recorded material.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Creates an independent effects chain for each audio input channel.
- Provides distortion, fuzz, overdrive and amplifier simulation effects.
- Includes compression, limiting, noise gates and frequency filters.
- Offers chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo and ring modulation.
- Includes octave shifting, auto-wah, auto-yoy, delay and reverb.
- Provides power amplifier and speaker cabinet simulation.
- Offers a browser-based interface for configuring effects remotely.
- Supports real-time audio processing through JACK.
- Provides offline processing of RIFF WAVE and RF64 audio files.
- Includes a chromatic instrument tuner using autocorrelation-based pitch detection.
- Offers an integrated metronome with a dedicated output channel.
- Provides stereo mixdown with spatial positioning of individual instruments.
- Includes peak programme meters for monitoring input and output levels.
- Supports configurable audio latency and processing sample rates.
- Cross-platform support – runs on Linux and Windows.
