BYOD (Build-Your-Own Distortion)
BYOD is a guitar effects plugin with a customisable signal chain that allows users to create their own guitar distortion effects. The plugin contains a wide variety of distortion effects from analog modelled circuits to purely digital creations, along with some musical tone-shaping filters, and a handful of other useful signal processors.

BYOD is open to contributions! If you would like to add new guitar effect processors, please see the documentation.
Building
To build from scratch, you must have CMake installed.
# Clone the repository
$ git clone https://github.com/Chowdhury-DSP/BYOD.git
$ cd BYOD
# initialize and set up submodules
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
# build with CMake
$ cmake -Bbuild
$ cmake --build build --parallel 4If you'd like to make an optimized "release" build, it is suggested to use some slightly different build commands:
$ cmake -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ cmake --build build --config Release --parallel 4BYOD requires CMake version 3.15 or higher, however, BYOD
CLAP builds require CMake 3.21 or higher. CLAP builds can
be disabled by adding -DBYOD_BUILD_CLAP=OFF to the first
CMake command.
After a successful build, the resulting plugin binaries will be located in
build/BYOD_artefacts.
If building for Linux, please review the Linux dependencies used by the BYOD CI pipeline.
Compiling with OpenGL support
By default, OpenGL support is enabled on Windows, and is disabled on all other
platforms. If you would like to override the default behaviour, you can pass the
argument -DCHOWDSP_ENABLE_OPENGL=<ON|OFF> to the CMake configure step.
