I would really prefer Alsa Modular to build a guit-amp.

Why?

1.) Guitars send mono-signals, working with stereo-input is not that
comfortable in AMS so this disadvantage of AMS does not apply here.

2.) AMS gives you much more control to the parameters of the plugins:

2.1.) You can set up a selection of parameters in parameter view and
store presets for this selection.

2.2.) you can link virtually any parameter to a MIDI-controller, so you
can plug a generic-MIDI controller (be it a pedal, a keyboard with
controller knobs etc)

3.) you have much more control over the routing of the signal amongst
the plugins, even side chain-stuff is thinkable. Weird stuff can be done
like routing the guitar-signal to a synth-plugin for FM-synthesis.

the learning-curve for jackrack may be less steep but you come to the
limits very fast so frustration draws near earlier   ;-)
