[linux-audio-user] simulating guitar distos at linux

[MarC]

Hi,
I'm searching a way to record a good guitar distorsion under linux. I 
already have a distorsion effects pedal (Zoom GFX8) which sounds quite 
good connected to a good guitar amplifier.
However when I connect it to my soundcard I loose the pre-amp, amp and 
speaker effects and it sounds crapy. Do you know any program/LADSPA 
plugin/other plugin to simulate those steps? Specially I would like to 
simulate well the speaker/cabinet.
I would like get rid of the amp + mic to record... But it's not easy for 
the disto style which I search (Mesa-Boogie style, reference sound from 
bands: Refused, Funeral for a Friend, Poison the well, Thrice...). Do 
you think it is possible? What do I need?
