I think ecasound would be an excellent choice, especially as you are low on CPU and ecasound does not require guis and such stupid things. :) Do remember that ecasound supports LADSPA plugins so you are in no way limited to the built in effects of it. Other alternatives could be Jack-Rack (which is also for LADSPA effects) if you fancy GUIs. I think there are some ready-to-go boxes on Dave Phillips site also, for guitar, you know: <comp><dist><mod><del><rev>. But I haven't tried any so I might be mistaken. One thing to think about, that I don't know the best solution for, is if you want to alter the parameters in realtime. To get Wahwah or some cool organic modulation effect. First you need an interface to an external pedal, which isn't so hard, they generally produce midi. But I'm not sure about the best software. You'd basically want an effect rack with midi-in. Possibly there are some small midi only app that can be used to remote control ecasound... Ok, now I've strayed far enough from the subject :) Have fun. /Robert -- http://spamatica.se/music/
