So you have to make all your own effects in code? It would be cool if it connected to something like Guitarix (open source) so you could use existing guitar effects. (Disclaimer: I've never used Guitarix, so it might sound shit)

Btw, for anyone who doesn't play guitar, but is interested... Gone are the days of those huge pedal boards and having to buy 30 different pedals. Emulation is getting really really good. You can either buy a multi-effects pedal and use that onstage. Or if you're in the studio, NeuralDSP is software which can emulate basically any sound you're after. It's expensive though, but it sounds better than free alternatives like Amplitube.
