# Dynamite > A customizable LV2 distortion plugin.

Dynamite has two modes: *Clipping* and *Distortion*. *Clipping* works by amplifying the audio signal (the "Drive" setting), cutting it off at a certain frequency (the "Threshold" setting), and then applying makeup gain (the "Gain" setting). *Transmogrifier* works by rounding the wave to a square wave, cutting out amplitudes below the "noise threshold", and applying makeup gain (generally negative, to prevent hearing loss). The UI is GTK2-based (since I use Ardour), so it may not work with all DAWs. ## Installation Dependencies: - Meson - gtkmm-2.4 - lv2 - lv2-c++-tools - libm ``` meson setup builddir --prefix /usr ninja -C builddir sudo ninja -C builddir install ```
