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. meterbridge is an optional runtime dependency. By default, the package is built with SSE support if the host CPU supports SSE. If building for another host, you can set SSE=no in the environment to build without it. 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. To disable this feature (even if webkitgtk is installed), set WEBKIT=no in the environment. 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.
