It's going to kind of evolve on it's own over time. Each iteration I will post for commentary. Yes I'm going for realism here, atleast as real as Amplitube SE and GR1. How's that?

Are there any images of amps/heads/controls that people want to share? I could use some direction in this regard. I was thumbing through a copy of Musicians Friend catalog while sitting on the throne the other day and saw one of the most gorgeous pieces of HW -- it was an Avalon compressor - brushed steel, orange warm glowing meters, beautiful elegance. Of course that's out of place in this project -- FreeAMP would need a more traditional middle-of-the-road kind of head, not some girly fancy stuff

The Avalon HW UI was beautiful though. Perhaps another plug will get an emulation of that some day.

Anyway if you have small cropped pics of controls with explanations about what you LIKE about it instead of "this is neat!" -- you must be verbose and explicit -- feel free to post them up. I'm still in the very begining stage as you can see and now is a great time to put some slips into the suggestion box.

First, thanks!

FreeAMP is the FS flagship plug, therefore I'm giving my 150%. That means it may turn out better than PhazOsc. TBH I am not fond of the PhazOsc shape

It looks too much like my old boombox when I was a breakdancer spinning on cardboards

Imagine a cassette tape where the ampenv is and another for dubbing/making mix tapes where the filterenv is in PhazOsc

I dunno WTF I was thinking. I was going for a "emulated" 3D kind of thing and was thinking "a pod as father and a UFO as mother

"

I turned the chorus on and off a few times and, oddly, the next time I tried turning the delay off it went off.

Switching between delay and reverb again gave trouble. It would not switch.

It works for me, just make sure you're on the delay part of the pedal when switching it off and not the verb section?

And like said - FreeAmp should be a total solution - and a flanger, reverb, delay are all integral parts of creating a specific guitar sound - i would be really bummed not to have these included.

As far as "bypass" switches - what are you talkin about audiojunkie? there already there! Dont the big step buttons on the pedals work like bypass switches?

The bypass switches that are included are the ones I was talking about. Sorry for not being clear.

Not yet. Did some preliminary figuring of things and tried out a new tool (XaraXtreme) to see if I could use it for some of the more tedious/intricate parts of the design in a way that is better than PS - but found there were problems so sticking with what I know. Been researching blender nightly and I think I have my head around the basics of 3D. This weekend (saturday day) I devote to freeamp - sunday I do family stuff.

So hope to make some good progress. I am distracted constantly by things during weeknights so it's hard to work on anything serious after working all day at the PC for real job. For instance I just did the ManyTone group buy and have been in heaven - that and I stumbled onto Nolwenns synth1 banks on top of working heavily recording ideas for patches into cantabile for pentagon and demoing toxic3 and trying to get more understanding of eXT and phrazor.

So yea, tons of tempation

No worries though I am gonna focus on FreeAMP intensely this Sat and will post progress.

Sorry for the time frame, I just have too much crap going on and have a horribly addictive and impulsive personality along with a very short attention span

Please have patience. Thanks!

Yes exactly like that. Except I think it's not the right look for this FreeAMP project. It's too polished and too shiny. A nice effect suite would be better project to skin like that.

Agreed - it seems to monotone for a multi-FX suite. Interestingly, I think the guys who made AirEQ might've been inspired by this too...

FreeAmpSE update 1.5 what do you want?
