A JUCE audio plugin that pretends to emulate the behaviour of a bass preamp pedal effect.
This is a simple vst3/au booster plugin made with JUCE that I built to introduce myself in the JUCE framework. The functionality is somewhat inspired by the Harmonic Booster by Darkglass, but I implemented my own processing without trying out the original pedal.
Features
Pre equalization controls:
Bass: ±12dB at 80Hz.
Mids: ±12dB at selected frequency.
Highs: ±12dB at 5kHz.
Boost: ±12dB of gain that feed a parallel exciter processor.
As of now, the exciter is simply a saturation processor made with compressors and waveshapers that are blended with the clean signal to generate some harmonics.
I may change this behaviour if I find any kind of exciter processor that (IMO) sounds better.
Character, a post-boost equalizer controlled with a single knob inspired in the VPF control on Markbass amplifiers.
At minimum, the eq curve is flat.
At maximum, the eq curve boosts lows and highs and dips the mids (around 500Hz). It kinda acts like a cab IR.
