guitarix offers the range of sounds you would expect from a full-featured universal guitar-amp. You can get crisp clean-sounds, nice overdrive, fat distortion and a diversity of crazy sounds never heard before. Guitarix can be used as a standalone application, as LADSPA plugins, or as LV2 plugins. For 32-bit x86, a CPU with SSE instructions is required. For other architectures, SSE will be used if available. meterbridge is an optional runtime dependency. Starting with version 0.34.0, guitarix can browse and download presets from the web, using the 'Online' button in the preset selector. To enable this feature, install webkitgtk before building guitarix (it will be autodetected). This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This may be considered a security/stability risk. Please read http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disable capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script.
