The onyx - a Tube amp simulator -

Where do you download

I also really like this. just simple as an amp the last thing in the signal chain, I’m using it for bass guitar after the ALO looper

Finally have some spare time at my hands and eagerly tried out the onyx. Great piece of software that does many things very well. Thanks a lot for your development efforts and for bringing it to the Mod DUO!

There is one very small thing I noticed though: other pedals are enlarged when you click on their non-interactive elements (i.e. the body of the pedal) and the onyx does it, too. Except for the large area above the the panel which would be the most obvious place to click. But yeah, totally minor…

Hi @eggsperde, thanks for the tip! Indeed it does not enlarge when clicking on the large area. I agree it would make sense to have the same enlarging behavior in that area as well. We are going to have a look at it.

Best,

Bram

No worries, @BramGiesen! I am happy to be on this wonderful endeavour with you guys…

Is the source for this plugin available? I’ve been compiling MOD plugins for use in Ardour on Raspberry Pi. Would love to make use of this plugin, too.

If no source, can I get the binary? Whatever works on the DUO should work on the Pi, too.

Source code is not available yet, but since the plugins use fftw we have to publish sources.
The thing holding us back is the license of the artwork, but I am not sure what state that is on right now.

Any chance I could get you to provide the binary while we wait on the source?

The onyx does not contain any third party dependencies.

Any news for the source of the Onyx? I’ve been studying amplifier simulation and this being an amazing plugin I’m sure it would be a good reference.

hi,

is it possible to use the Onyx as a common LV2 plugin, independently from the MOD UI?
I do not have a mod device (yet), I would like to try out the Onyx on my linux machine.

thanks.

Pinging to know the state of the source code release, as it’s been a long while. Any news, @falkTX and @Jarno?

Hi,

I am not planning to release the source code for this plugin. It will remain cosed source.

Kind regards,

I see, thanks. I brought it up because @falkTX had mentioned above that it would be open-source due to its use of FFTW (which is GPL). I’m assuming that’s not the case anymore?

There was some confusion regarding this, but the onyx in fact doesn’t use FFTW.

Just got the MOD Dwarf, and in my brief audition this was the amp model I gravitated to the most by a wide margin. Kudos! I look forward to future plugins you develop.

The amp is interesting but I think it is affected by a lot of artifacts (I think it’s called “aliasing problem”). This is the config I’ve used in my test

Not sure if it is strictly related to the amp or pair amp + cab.

With which cab did you try it?

Do you notice it if you use other cabs?
If you have/use IRs of cabinets, try the IR Loader and load a IR that you are used to.
Let us know about your findings.
