Thanks for the hint, these plugins are great. I converted
fx_processor's distortion into a ladspa-plugin. The sound is
similar. Actually I'm looking for a distortion with some more
bass. And a bit more aggressive to play heavy metal. I tried some
equalizer setups and am very close to what I am searching for.

A nice combination is preamp with a "static" alienwah, like this:

ecasound -d:16 -i:/dev/dsp -o:/dev/dsp -erc:2,1 -ea:300 \
	-el:preamp,10 -el:alienwah_stereo,0,5,0.3,20

With "static" I mean the frequency set to zero (first parameter
to alienwah).

A -el:unmatched at the end of the line sucks away all the bass
again. This is why I dropped it, though I get a scratching sound
without it.

I tried equalizers. Ecasound's eq_template had no effect or muted
the sound which is strange. I couldn't boost the bass enough for
my taste with ladspa-plugin mbeq.

Yes. Perhaps I can get what I want with this.

With most of those ladspa plugins my problem is that I don't really
have an idea of which parameters I should start off with.
Examples would probably be very helpful, but as I experience
myself it is not the nicest job to write docs. :)

I tried hard but failed. On
http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/archive.php3 phrases like
"pn:", "el:", etc. don't give me any matches.
