guitarix is a simple Linux Rock Guitar Amplifier for
jack (Jack Audio Connektion Kit) with one input and two outputs. Designed to get nice
thrash/metal/rock/blues guitar sounds. There are controls for bass, treble,
gain, compressor, preamp, tube, drive, overdrive, oversample, fuzz, balance, distortion, freeverb, impulse response, vibrato ,
crybaby(wah) and echo. For 'pressure' in the sound you can use the
feedback and feedforward sliders.
Release > 0.03.3-1 include a experimental audio2midi converter to simulate a LiveBandInTheBox.
I get best result's when use it with a Electret Condenser Microphone (imp High).
To use it with an E-Guitar you need to figure out how to set the
beatdetector settings. You get better result's when you only use one pick-up from your guitar.
You can call
meterbridge over the menu connectet with in and output from guitarix
A great part of guitarix is also realized as
Ladspa plugin
For capture guitarix makes use of jack_capture ver >= 0.9.30 from Kjetil
S. Matheussen. If you don't have it installed, look here:
http://old.notam02.no/arkiv/src/?M=D
You don't need jack_capture to run
guitarix, but the capture button won't work without jack_capture and
you get a warning whenever you push that button. guitarix only looks
in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin for jack_capture. Record will always
go to ~/sessionX.xxx
You can choose the file format and capture channel's from jack_capture_gui2.
Record's will be count to your next session start. You also will need vorbis-tools
for encoding to ogg:

For extra Impulse Response guitarix make use of jconv from Fons Adriaensen. If
you dont have it installed, look here:

I use faust for prototyping.
