Non-realtime high realistic software guitar processor. Works with *.wav files as input and output. It uses ngspice for electric circuit simulation and FFT convolver with Impulse Response *.wav file for cabinet simulation.

Project ships with SPICE sub-models of Valves used in guitar amplifiers and several examples of pedal and amplifier models.

See ~/spiceAmp Data/Models in your HOME directory!

You see Qucs-S in the background of this screen. spiceAmp is a small dialog window :)

• Check the sound of any guitar pedal or guitar amplifier circuit, for emulator or hardware development.
• Research how the circuit works with sound.
• Create profiles for tubeAmp guitar processor without real hardware.

• ngspice applicaton MUST be in your PATH.
• SPICE schematic editor, Qucs-S recommended.

• g++ compiler.
• Meson build system.
• Zita-resampler 1.6 development files.
• Qt5 framework development files.
• fftw3 development files.
• GSL development files.

In Ubuntu run:

apt install g++ qtbase5-dev qtchooser libgsl-dev libfftw3-dev libzita-resampler-dev meson

Project uses meson build system.

• Run meson build and then ninja -C build in the source directory.
• Run ninja -C build install to install to /usr/local/*.

To install to /usr, run

• meson build --reconfigure --prefix /usr and then
• ninja -C build install.
