 someone point me in the right direction for processing a clean guitar signal
 in real-time such that it can (even partially - i like weird sounding stuff)
 emulate tube circuitry.  I am thinking a chain of LADSPA plug-ins would do
 the job.  The sound im looking for doesn't have to emulate anything to a T,
 it just has to be raunchy (think Nine Inch Nails - Broken, or any Nine Inch
 Nails album for that matter). 
 i reckon you should run your axe through jack rack using the steve's swh
 ladspa plugs 
 
Try the sinus waveshaper, valve_* and even "Barrys satan maximiser" [thanks
Matthew] if you want toally over the top distortion.
Theres a ton of odd modulations and distrtions in there, helpfully lumped
together by jack-rack.
