Linux

Download AmpForge-0.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz below, extract it, and run
./install.sh - installs VST3/CLAP/LV2 and the standalone binary into
your home directory (~/.vst3, ~/.clap, ~/.lv2, ~/.local/bin), no
root/sudo needed. ./install.sh --uninstall removes them again. Prefer
building from source instead? See the README.

Windows

Download AmpForge-0.2.0-Setup.exe below and run it (as administrator)
to install VST3/CLAP/LV2 to the standard locations your DAW/host
already scans. Pick which formats to install, and uninstall cleanly
later from Add/Remove Programs. (No standalone .exe yet - see Project
status in the README.)

What's new since v0.1.0

  • Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) support - a new pedal that loads a
    .nam capture file (original and A2 architectures) into its own
    block, mixable alongside the modeled Amp/Cabinet chain rather than a
    replacement for it. Independent In/Mix/Out trim knobs, and the
    status sidebar shows the loaded capture's filename and architecture
    (WaveNet, LSTM, ...).
  • Portable Docker build + Linux CI - installer/linux/Dockerfile
    pins the build to Ubuntu 22.04's glibc baseline so the released
    binaries stay loadable on older distros and flatpak/snap sandboxes,
    and GitHub Actions now builds, packages, and (on a tag push)
    publishes the Linux release automatically.
  • Fixed a crash risk in Delay/Chorus/Reverb: a cross-thread race
    when the host's sample rate changes mid-session (e.g. switching
    audio interfaces while the plugin is running) could trip a
    std::vector out-of-bounds abort. Fixed with the same double-buffer
    hot-swap pattern the Cabinet and NAM blocks already use.

Features (full list)

13 reorderable modules (Noise Gate, Compressor, Wah, Screamer,
Distortion, Amp with 4 voicings, Cabinet IR convolution, NAM capture
loading, Chorus, Phaser, Tremolo, Delay, Reverb), tempo-synced
Delay/Tremolo/Chorus, a built-in tuner, A/B compare, 7 factory presets
plus save/export/import of custom presets, and a CPU load meter.
