A guitar amp simulator built in Rust using JACK.
- Low-latency audio processing with configurable oversampling (1x–16x)
- 10 DSP stages: preamp (with 12AX7 triode clipper), compressor, tone stack, power amp, noise gate, level, multi-band saturator, delay, reverb, and 16-band graphic EQ
- Impulse response cabinet simulation for both guitar and bass
- Saving and loading presets with keyboard hotkey switching
- Real-time recording capability
- Built-in tuner
- FFT-based pitch shifting for alternate tunings without retuning your instrument
- MIDI controller support
- Tabbed GUI with minimap, collapsible stage cards, and input filter controls - built with Iced
- Linux with PipeWire (JACK support enabled)
- Rust toolchain: Install Rust
Note
This has been tested on a Raspberry Pi 4 and reasonably high end desktop PC. Your mileage may vary on other hardware.
You can download a tarball of a pre-built binary from the releases page.
sudo apt-get install libjack-jackd2-0
tar -xf rustortion-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz
cd rustortion-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
./rustortionWith the rust toolchain installed, you can clone the repository and run the application:
sudo apt-get install libjack-jackd2-dev libasound2-dev pkg-config
cargo run --releaseTip
On some Linux machines with PipeWire, you may need to run JACK explicitly:
sudo apt-get install pipewire-jack
pw-jack cargo run --releaseThis is an experimental project. Feel free to open issues or submit pull requests.
