This is a simplified digital implementation of the well known Boss DS-1 guitar distortion pedal. This implementation was done by analysing the schematics of the pedal as well as the behaviour of the analog prototype simulated circuits, finding out the equations that can be discretised into cascaded digital filters. Tests and comparisons between the digital implementation, the analog circuit simulation and the real pedal show an overall good reproduction of the actual hardware.
The file is a MATLAB audio plugin class that can be used to generate VST3 or Audio Unit files using the generateAudioPlugin function.
