There's this suite of freeware VST plugins: http://www.simulanalog.org/guitarsuite.htm which sound fantastic. Since it is an academic project maybe we can try to convince the authors to release the source and port them to ladspa.
I tried contacting him to let me do a Linux port of Guitar Suite to LADSPA (even under NDA) as he wasn't considering open sourcing it, after some email exchange he pointed me back at the CAPS homepage... at that point I smiled and whished him good luck with his proprietary stuff. GS sounds OK, though my VAMP-Pro eats it for breakfast. I think it compares incredibly favourably against the hyped PODs too as I play jams (almost daily) with other guitar players on NINJAM that own PODs. They always end up asked me what I am using... :P Fenomenal price-value ratio IMHO. Cheers, -Giuseppe
