-guitarix is a simple Linux Rock Guitar Amplifier for jack (Jack Audio
-Connection Kit) with one input and two outputs. Designed to get nice
-thrash/metal/rock/blues guitar sounds. There are controls for bass, middle,
-treble, gain (in/out), compressor, preamp, tubes, drive, overdrive,
-oversample, etc.
+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.
meterbridge is an optional runtime dependency.
+Guitarix can be used as a standalone application, as LADSPA plugins,
+or as LV2 plugins. By default, standalone and LADSPA are built. To also
+build LV2 plugins, set LV2=yes in the script's environment (you will
+need lilv installed). The script author hasn't tested LV2 support.

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
