## Using LV2 PLugins
|
|
|
|
PiPedal uses LV2 audio plugins. There are literally thousands of freely available high-quality LV2 plugins that are suitable for use as guitar effects.
|
|
|
|
By default, PiPedal comes with a few plugins from the ToobAmp plugin collection. You will probably want to install more.
|
|
|
|
Here is a brief list of particularly recommend plugin collections.
|
|
|
|
| Collection | To Install | Description |
|
|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------------|------------------|
|
|
|[Guitarix](https://guitarix.org) ★★★★☆ | sudo apt install guitarix-lv2 | A large collection of guitar amplifiers and effects. |
|
|
| [GxPlugins](https://github.com/brummer10/GxPlugins.lv2) ★★★★★ | [Install GxPlugsin.lv2](GxPlugins.md) | Additional effects from the Guitarix collection |
|
|
| [MDA Plugins](http://drobilla.net/software/mda-lv2.html) ★★★★☆ | sudo apt install mda-lv2 | 36 high-quality plugs |
|
|
| Invadio Studio Plugins ★★★☆☆ | sudo apt install invada-studio-plugins-lv2 | Delays, distortion, filters, phaser, reverb |
|
|
|[Zam Plugins](https://zamaudio.com) ★★★☆☆ | sudo apt install zam-plugins | Filtering, EQ, and mastering effects. |
|
|
| [Calf Studio Gear](https:://calf-studio-gear.org) ★★★☆☆ | sudo apt install calf-plugins | Flanger, filters, reverb, rotary speaker &c |
|
|
|
|
The GxPlugins pack requires a manual build; but it's worth the effort. It contains some extraordinarily beautiful amp and effect emulations, many of which are superior to plugins in the main Guitarix package.
|
