The most important element is speaker emulation.
Without it distorted
guitars have that 'wasp in jam jar' sound. Fortunately there is a
great LADSPA plug-in for this in Tim Goetze's excellent caps plug-in
suite. Put this (it calls itself cabinet emulation) in a LADSPA
effects chain after the pre-amp/distortion effect of choice & before
your reverb/delay of choice & choose which speaker sound to use
according to taste & which axe is plugged in. I have been thrilled
with the results. I am away from my Linux Music box at the mo, if you
are interested I will put up exactly what chain I use when I can get
to check it out.
Hope this helps
Guy ( hopefully putting the axe into Linaxe ;0) )

While I wholeheartedly second the
suggestion to use Tim Goetze's CAPS
plugins for Amp/Cabinet simulation for guitar, if you are planning to
use keyboard to do guitar chords, I'm not sure that you'll ever find the
right patches that will sound right. In my experience, the only way to
get good guitar is with a guitar. I'm also a sax player and I have had
good luck find soundfonts for tenor and alto that are passable, but I've
never been happy with any electric guitar soundfonts.

Hello guys,
Im a keyboardist, and Im working everyday composing and recording
my songs using ardour as the center of my records.
I have a Korg synth, and I haven't problems with the songs, I have
enough patchs as I need to use: piano, strings, synths, etc's,
because those sounds are great for me. The question is, that I need to
record some riffs, or some *strong* chords with guitars and I cannot
get a realistic and big sound for that.
