I’m actively developing Amplitron, a free open-source guitar amp simulator in C++17, and I'd love to get community input on the direction of the project.
The core is solid — we have DSP effects chains, tube amp modeling, and cabinet simulation working well. But I want to know what would make it more useful for the community.
Some ideas I’m considering:
- More effects types (reverb, delay, modulation effects)
- MIDI controller support
- Multi-amp/split chains
- Better visualization of the signal chain
- Plugin version (VST/AU)
But I’m curious: what effects or features would YOU prioritize if you were building a guitar amp simulator? Are you a guitarist, game developer, or audio enthusiast? What would make this tool actually useful for your projects?
Feel free to check out the full implementation here: https://dev.to/sudipmondal2002/i-built-a-free-open-source-guitar-amp-simulator-in-c17-heres-how-1d86
Looking forward to hearing your ideas!
