[LV2] RFP: LV2 tonestack and cab selector plugins

[Cyrus Adkisson]

Looking to hire, on a contract basis, ASAP, a person/persons to create two LV2 plugins.

Plugin 1: Essentially the Guitarix stereo amplifier plugin with these changes: 

- Simplified: No built-in distortion, drive, tube selection, EQ/tone or cabinet. Just tonestack selection, pregain, and master.
- Simplified 2: No GUI. Ardour generic controls only.
- Normalized: Output level for each tonestack should be identical.
- Clarified: For each tonestack, what configuration of tubes is being simulated? ("Fender style" can mean a lot of things.)
- Comprehensive: Need a wide range of tonestack models pulled from any/all open source projects.
- Automated: Need a graceful master bypass + automation for all 3 selectors.
- Finessed: Automation should never create static pops, clicks or spikes.

Plugin 2: A cabinet selector/simulator

- Simplified: No built-in EQ. Just a cab model selector and output level.
- Simplified 2: No GUI. Ardour generic controls only.
- Normalized: Output level for each cab model should be identical.
- Clarified: For each cab model, what configuration is being simulated? ("Marshall style" can mean a lot of things.)
- Comprehensive: Need a wide range of cabinet models pulled from any/all open source projects.
- Automated: Need a graceful master bypass + master output automation.
- Finessed: Automation should never create static pops, clicks or spikes.
- Enhanced?: Open to microphone selection, distance from cabinet, etc. Don't know how complex this would be.

Other notes:

- Models should be pulled from existing open source projects. **No need to model anything from scratch.**
- **The plugins themselves, however, should be fresh from scratch to avoid unnecessary complexities.**
- These projects will be open source.
- **Need delivery by the end of Q1.**
- If you can do one or the other, please still contact me. **Same person doesn't have to do both.**
