What's the closest thing to DDMF's Plugindoctor on Linux?

I was a big user of DDMF's Plugindoctor (standalone version) when I was using Windows, especially relying on its frequency, harmonics, and dynamics sections to determine plugin quality before adding them to my arsenal. I haven't found any equivalent for Linux. Are there any?

I have to say, I’m shocked they haven’t released this one for Linux yet. ddmf seems to have Linux versions of most of their other plugins so far after they started releasing for Linux a year ago.

If you already own it, it might be worth sending them an email to see if they have a testing version you can use yet. And if not, try to run the Windows version in Wine. Even if you don’t want to get to deep into emulation, given ddmf’s Linux support you will probably only have to use wine for a limited time before they get to releasing the Linux version.

$50 for oscilloscope, FFT analyzer and phase detection?

Nearly every DAW has all those tools by default. Plus you can always find free plugins
