being the author of plugins intended to fill the gap, i'd love to
hear some constructive criticism. so would you care to elaborate
on what you find lacking in our efforts, please?

Oh, well I didn't mean your plugins are inadequate in any way, but that
it's a very complicated problem. Plus, even if you create one good
sounding 'amp'.. that's just one. One amp is never enough for anybody.
:)
Anyway, I own a Behringer V-Amp so I havn't really tested your plugins
much, but I will if you like. I've been a serious guitarist for over
half my life, so I like to think I have an ear for these sorts of
things.
Give me a few days, I'll put some comparison tracks down in audio (if
necessary)

Overall,
I should mention that the majority of my time was spent
wrestling with LADSPA plugins. Some cased reliability issues in Ardour
(see above, more info to come). Some gave me some OK sounds, but I have
noticed in the mixdown that the guitar orverdrive doesn't have a nice
warm sound. I can't recall the exact plugins I used from memory, but I
did find it hard to find plugins that would give me a nice warm sound on
guitar tracks. Maybe that is something to improve upon.
Heh, if we could produce plugins that produced good guitar sounds, Line6
would be seriously worried. :)
