 Hello,

 Many folks from the computer-audio-scene say, that they cannot find an
...
  application for Linux to act as a virtual
guitar-amp. Of course we know,
...
  that one can build such a beast easily from
modules but ti ease the
...
  effort for all thos, that simply want to plug and
play, I made up a
...
  patch for alsa modular synth called ams-guitrack, get
it here:
...

 http://gnupc.de/~zettberlin/law/patches/ams/ams-guitrack_RC1.ams 
...

 1.) start jackd with qjackctl
 2.) start ams
 3.) load the patch ams-guitrack_RC1.ams and open View/Parameter View
...
  4.) connect alsa_pcm_in with ams_in and ams_out
with alsa_pcm_out
...
  5.) connect your guitar and adjust the
gain-settings in the parameter-view
...

 for me this gives the results I would expect from a middle-class-
...
  Marshall-Stack with a 19"-MultiFX involved.

...
  The patch is being used in my recent
recording-experiment:

  gnupc.de/~zettberlin/law/lapoc/lac2008-noack-lapoc.pdf
(paper for LAC
...
  2008 in English)

 The guitarists in the project(so-called "musicians" - not the faintest
...
  knowledge in computers, let alone Linux....)
like the patch a lot,
...
  especially because you get exactly what you hear
as you play on the
...
  track in Ardour. And because the patch reacts to some
extent like a real
...
  amp... If everything is set just right, you can
control distortion by
...
  turning the volume-knob on the guitar ;-)

 A short, not-so-perfectly well played, unpolished and thus by far not
...
  recommendable but still
cc/share-alike/attribution-licenced demo can be
...
  found here:

 http://gnupc.de/~zettberlin/law/lapoc/demos/caps-walzersturm02-0312-2007.ogg 
...

 If unbearable hiss/noise spoils the party try to fiddle with the
 gain/threshold/ratio-faders of the compressor-section in tab CAPS-AMP of
...
  the Parameter-View.
 You can also store your own presets here - since I strongly abhor from
...
  such vices as factory-presets, I got only 2 very
basic ones in the patch
...
  itself...

 Of course the patch depends on other software, first on ams and on the
...
  LADSPA-Modules from the CAPS-Collection - thanks
a lot to all its devs!!!
...

 enjoy, and as always: any comments are welcome :-)

fantastic,
Though I don't think I'll be selling my amp anytime soon. I can very easily
get similar sounds. This could deff save some time.
