v1.1.58
The ToobAmp Project provides 19 high-quality LV2 audio plugins designed for use as guitar effects. The set of plugins provides a no-nonsense, foundation set of effects pedals to get you started. The plugins are primarily designed for use with the PiPedal project; but the also provide native X11/Cairo user-interfaces that allow them to be used other other LV2 plugin hosts and DAWs too.
- Neural Network Amp Models (TooB NAM, and TooML plugins).
- Reverb (TooB Convolutin Reverb (mono and stereo), and TooB Freeverb
- Loopers (TooB 4Looper, and One-Button Looper).
- Cab simulators (TooB Cab IR, and TooB CabSim).
- Modulation/delay effects (TooB Delay, CE-2 Chorus, and BF-2 Flanger).
- Utility plugins (TooB Input Stage, TooB Tuner, TooB Spectrum Analyzer, and TooB Input Recorder).
v1.1.58 NEW TooB Loooper and TooB Record plugins. Fixes for Reaper UI compatibility.
v1.1.58 now provides native interfaces on hosts other than PiPedal.
Do NOT install ToobAmp over an existing PiPedal install. PiPedal install packages include the latest and best versions of PiPedal plugins already.
ToobAmp has been tested with Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, and with Ubuntu 22.04 on amd64/x64, and aarch64, but should be compatible with other Debian-based Linux distributions.
Downloads:
- Rasberry PI OS 64-bit Bookworm or later (ARM 64)
- Ubuntu 22.04 or later (ARM 64)
- Ubuntu 22.04 or later (x64/amd64)
Download the appropriate package for your sytems. Run the following shell commands to install the packages:
sudo apt update
cd ~/Downloads
sudo apt-get install ./toobamp_1.1.58_arm64.deb # adjust as appropropriate

-
TooB CE-2 Chorus
A faithful digital replica of the Boss CE-2 Chorus.
-
TooB Freeverb
A particularly well-balanced reverb, based on the famous Freeverb algorithm. Flexible controls, low coloration, low CPU usage.

-
TooB Input Stage
For initial conditioning of guitar input signals. Trim level, noise-gating, and an EQ section that provides low-pass, hi-pass and bright-boost filtering.
-
TooB Cab Simulator
Rather than relying on expensive convolution effects, TooB CabSim provides an EQ section designed to allow easy emulation of guitar cabinet/microphone combinations.
Run the following commands to install prerequisites:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake ninja-build git
sudo apt install -y lv2-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libflac++-dev zlib1g-dev libdbus-1-dev \
libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev catch2 librsvg2-dev liblilv-dev libxrandr-dev
Clone the repository to your local machine.
cd ~/src # or wherever you keep your projects
git clone https://github.com/rerdavies/ToobAmp.git
Then, in the project directory, run:
cd ~/src/ToobAmp
git submodule update --init --recursive
If you are using Visual Studio Code, you will still need to perform the previous command after cloning the project, since Visual Studio Code does not yet understand submodules.
ToobAmp was built using Visual Studio Code, with CMake build files, so it's easier to configure and build TooBAmp if you are using Visual Studio Code.
If you are using Visual Studio code, install the Microsoft CMake extension, and load the project directory. Visual Studio Code will automatically detect and configure the project. Build and configuration tools for the CMake project can be accessed on the Visual Studio Code status bar.
If you are not usings Visual Studio Code, the following shell scripts, found in the root of the project, can be used to configure, build and install the project:
./config.sh #configure the CMake project
./build.sh # build the project.
After a full build, run the following command to install ToobAmp:
./install.sh
To build the debian package, run
./makePackage
Please relocate components, and package information if you're going to permanently fork ToobAmp to ensure that Debian packages don't conflict with each other.
If you are building the plugins for use with a host other than PiPedal, you should read this:
