Hi
Im back! Well as most of you know, there are a number of windows and mac based effects processors for guitars like guitar rig and amplitube. For some of us that do not really run either is always poses a problem on our linux systems. I friend of mine sent me an interesting article about linux based effects
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/rakarrack-guitar-fx-linux. I still need to test it out but thought some of you might like to have a look at it. A short piece from this site :
Rakarrack includes ten effects processing modules, 80 preset patches, a built-in tuner, and a monophonic pitch-to-MIDI converter. The processing modules have been derived mostly from the DSP capabilities of Paul Nasca's excellent ZynAddSubFX synthesizer, but further tweaked for a "best fit" to the sonic needs of guitarists. MIDI messages can control overall volume and program changes, but alas, as of version 0.1.2 parameter control via MIDI is not implemented. The order of multi-effects chains can be defined by the user, unit status can be saved as a preset, and a preset collection can be saved as a bank (80 presets can be stored in a bank).
Included effects :
10-band EQ
Compressor
Distortion
Overdrive
Echo
Chorus
Phaser
Flanger
Reverb
Parametric EQ
