I'd put the noise gate as the last effect in your signal chain, it'll makes the signal silent when the noise level is below a certain level. They are invaluable for when using noisy effects (especially good for stomp box effects that can be noisy).

Hi! Can't use rackarack, because it's graphical. Although I think - fromthe demo I heard - it could produce some nice effects.

Hello Harmut! I didn't know, that guitarix also offers a ladspa version. I will certainly download it. But I think I will start with the c* amps. I should have remembered them. But I mostly used the amps to give a bit of warmth and character to some tracks. Thanks for these!

All other guitars are played using the caps-plugins, a IbanezRG, a Cheri-Telecaster and a heavily modified LP-Model by the name of Jolana Diamant built in chechia in the early 80ies... The latter is tuned 5 halftones lower and has extra-thick strings. We used it for the bass also playing the line as dry as possible and pitching it with Steve Harris` pitch scaler.
