Roomtone Amp Sim - Indie/Bedroom Pop/Shoegaze focused amp sim (VST3/AU)

[Joshemve]

Hey KVR,

I'm a solo developer and just released Roomtone Amp Sim - an amp plugin focused on indie, bedroom pop, and shoegaze tones.

What it does:
- 275 factory presets covering bedroom pop, shoegaze, 90s alt, post-punk, dream pop
- Presets inspired by The 1975, Slowdive, The Strokes, My Bloody Valentine, Mac DeMarco, Mk.gee and more
- Tube amp modeling with room character
- Built-in effects: chorus, reverb, tremolo, lo-fi, delay
- VST3/AU for Mac and Windows

I built this because I wanted an amp sim that nailed warm, chorused indie tones out of the box without needing a pedalboard of plugins.

Its Called Roomtone Amp Sim available on NorthernValleyAudio

Happy to answer any questions about the tones or the DSP. I also am open to hearing suggestions on what tones to add!

Cheers

Of course you need some John McGeoch tones

The chorusing sounds really nice. It would be cool if you would release that as a separate stompbox style plugin.

Are there controls that aren't shown in the previews? It looks like there is no way to choose the effects or amp sim.

Excellent choice - my favourite guitar player:

I purchased but the installation is very confusing. I'm on Windows, the directions in the purchase email look like they have directory paths for Mac:

Installation
Unzip the downloaded file
Copy Roomtone Amp Sim.vst3 to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
Copy Roomtone Amp Sim.component to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
Restart your DAW and scan for new plugins

I don't have a folder that looks like this on my Windows machine:

"/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/"

So where do I put the Amp.Sim components folder on a Windows machine?

Also, there is a folder with this name in the installation Zip. What do I do with that folder? There is nothing in the instructions about that folder:

"\Roomtone Amp Sim.app"

Thank you.

That's a conventional Apple file path. I think you just need to worry about the first one.

Thanks. I added the RoomTone VST3 folder to my common VST3 folder where I have the other VST3's and it wasn't getting recognized by Cubase when I restarted.

I checked in the Roomtone VST3 folder and there's no VST3 file. So something is hosed with their installation ZIP file, it's missing the actual VST3 file. I'm going to try to contact the Dev.

This process has been a mess so far, I don't know why someone would release a plugin and not at least check that the VST3 file is included in the installation ZIP file.

That’s weird. You sure there wasn’t a separate Windows download?

No the purchase email had only one download link and the zip file that it downloads doesn't contain a VST3 file:

"Thank You for Your Purchase!
Your order for Roomtone Amp Sim has been confirmed. Download your plugin below:

Download Roomtone Amp Sim"

I contacted the dev, hopefully they can get it sorted out.

Just a heads up to anyone considering buying this plugin. I paid for it 4 days ago and received an email with a download link that was supposed to be for both AU and VST3 in one ZIP file. It turns out there's no VST3 file in the ZIP that you download (there is a VST3 folder but it doesn't contain a VST3 file). So basically I have no way to use VST3 and I'm on Windows so AU doesn't help.

I tried to contact the dev right away using his support email address as well as a PM here on KVR. Well.... no response as of today. So I guess buyer beware, I haven't seen hide nor hair of the dev since they created this thread last Wednesday. And they have a brand new KVR account which is somewhat Sus although it could be they just created it to advertise their product. Or they are scamming, can't tell which but I'm bummed I used my credit card to purchase this (no paypal option).

Anyway as I said buyer beware, so far I paid for the plugin and did not receive an actual VST3 file and no response at all from the dev.
