New Development Snapshot version 5.3.2.0
This new version is nearly done, here's a preview RC development version for all
of you to play with. For the most part it is stable, though it needs a tad little
bit of polishing here and there, but for those of you who have been waiting so long
for a new version, you can go ahead and download this one NOW and have some fun with it.
The tube "grit" code has been totally overhauled, sounds much better and more tube-like IMO,
and the plugin now includes a custom stereo reberb FX component, one which I think already sounds
rather nice and unlike any other reberb effect out there that I've heard. (Regardless, if you really
don't want it enabled you can easily switch it off in the GUI.)
Source code (and a final new release version) will come out once I polish some stuff here and there
and make sure final bugs are ironed out.
I reduced oversampling settings to just three possible rate multipliers, as with the new effect engine
the plug-in was taking up way too much RAM with internal copies of everything for numerous sample rates.
You can now choose between 2x, 5x, and 12x oversampling, as well as how the filters are applied (on the
third settings screen).
As before, on-screen hints are provided and I won't bother to write out a seperate instruction manual.
(If you want to know who is responsible for why I have to do it this way, look in the mirror - Why
should I write out a manual everyone will refuse to read, so they can email me dumb questions when it
isn't my fault that they didn't read up on how the software works?)
Also as usual, this plugin was written with a direct-into-the-amp setup in mind, I don't use a
tubescreamer. Of course you can use it however you want, I won't bother going any further with that...
(If you can read this, you must have a lot of time on your hands, going this far into a readme.txt when
you could be playing something on your guitar... Hmmmm...)
Okay, enjoy, ROCK ON, and in the meantime I'll try to get a working forum back up...

New Release for 2014!
The "Jykwrakker" is the lastest software plug-in, everything else is OLD.
Current latest version is 5.2.4.0.
This release version for these plug-ins is built from SVN repo commit 200, so if you want to re-build an exact
copy with the exact same code, revision 200 is what you want to check out.
(The fact it lands on an even number is pure coincidence and really has no special meaning.)
Hint: In the GUI, use the upper-right corner buttons to flip through the control screens and different options
(There are four screens with various controls). See those little squares? Those are control buttons, and yes,
you click on those with the mouse! 'Nuff said, you should be able to figure out the rest from there.
TUBESCREAMER USERS PLEASE NOTE that I did not design or test these plug-ins with any pedal or other FX in
front of them. I built this software for a direct-into-the-amp type of sound. Of course you can use them
however you like, I won't force you, but using a TS or other pedal or pre-amp on front can give different
results which can really vary. My advice is to START with nothing in front of the plug-in in your FX chain,
and THEN do some tweaking where you add things as needed.
NOTE that the Jykwrakker does NOT include a cab/mic sim or effect at this time, so unless you are doing something
unusual (or happen to be Trent Reznor / Nine Inch Nails), you will need a seperate plugin after the amp effect
using convolution or some other kind of speaker cab/mic effect on the audio output for proper sound.
Enjoy!
