✨ guitarix ✨

okay bestie, so this is the guitarix manual page (that's the guitarix(1) situation, from the Guitarix Manual β€” we're literally in the manual section rn) and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am πŸ’–


🌸 NAME 🌸

guitarix β€” a Rock guitar amplifier for Jack. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎸


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

gtick [options]
okay yes, the synopsis says gtick, not guitarix. that's what the original page says and we are NOT fixing it, we're just noting it and moving on πŸ’…

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Guitarix is a rock guitar amplifier for Jack (Jack Audio Connection Kit) with one input and two output's. yes, two output's, with the apostrophe, iconic 🫢

it's designed to get nice trash/metall/rock/guitar sounds ✨

available are controls for:

  • bass
  • treble
  • gain
  • balance
  • distortion
  • freeverb
  • crybaby(wah)
  • echo

for the 'pressure' in the sound you can use the feedback and feedforward sliders πŸ”₯

guitarix comes with a GTK+ Interface and as a Ladspa plugin πŸ‘‘


πŸ’œ OPTIONS πŸ’œ

guitarix accepts the following options, and there are a LOT, so buckle up:

  • -h, --help β€” Show help options
  • --help-all β€” Show all help options
  • --help-style β€” GTK style configuration options
  • --help-jack β€” JACK configuration options
  • --help-overload β€” Switch to bypass mode on overload condition
  • --help-file β€” File options
  • --help-debug β€” Debug options
  • --help-gtk β€” Show GTK+ options
  • -v, --version β€” Print version string and exit
  • -N, --nogui β€” Print version string and exit
  • -p, --rpcport=PORT β€” Start a JSON-RPC server listening on port PORT
  • -H, --rpcport=HOSTNAME β€” Set hostname to connect to
  • -G, --onlygui β€” Start only GUI
  • -L, --liveplaygui β€” Start with Live Play GUI

not me noticing -b, --bank shows up twice, and -N, --nogui says it prints the version string and exits, and -H, --rpcport is also --rpcport even though -p already took that name 😭 we do not question the source material, we simply report it fr fr
