Pedalspice

This looks interesting, can't wait to try it out - PedalSpice

Why would you pay for that vibe coded trash when there are free vibe coded trash alternatives available? Also one that is not vibe coded but allegedly still trash.

 

[DDad]

Not paying - there is a free version. So you used it enough to know it is 'trash'? Please explain how it is trash. Or are you vibing here...

Is Brian a software engineer? UI/UX designer? Did he hire any to develop this product?

There is Celine and Rosso that are both free and just as full featured... And open source to boot.

Celine: https://github.com/Celine-audio/Celine
Rosso: https://rosso.tsukubaonkyo.com/en/

I like Celine a bit more than Rosso -- but honestly, I just use Spice directly or through KiCAD Happy and simulate my designs right from KiCAD.

no idea, and don't care - is this a good product or not? Sounds you have an axe to grind against Wampler, I am just trying to find out if this is good software. Two separate things. Please leave the wampler bashing in other threads, not wanted here.

Sounds you have an axe to grind against Wampler

I assumed the axe being ground was against AI generated software products.

How about you make a separate thread to rail against AI generated software products?

This thread is to explore whether PedalSpice is worth the free cost. Maybe it's not. But nothing anyone has said is an actual review of the product. Please take that somewhere else if you don't have anything to contribute to the actual topic.

I played with it, it's interesting but like I said above, I think Celine is better (and open source). It doesn't do much for me that I don't already have in my workflow.

I'm not going to gatekeep or tell you not to use it. If you like it, then use it.

You can't tell me what to do, you're not my real ddad!

With proper updates it might have had a chance if it wasn't a web based app locked behind a subscription. Nothing belongs to you, not even your own projects. I can still load schematics I made in LTspice 10 years ago. There's no guarantee this will still exist in a few years from now. Why would I base my work on some app I have absolutely no control over?
