Software Description
From the Guitar FX BOX web site:
Just plug your electric guitar to the sound card input, start Guitar FX BOX and enjoy - your guitar will scream and sing! This high quality sound processing program is acting just like a good collection of guitar effects pedals. You can use several of them at the same time, even all of them if you need so.
Guitar FX BOX does REALLY real-time DSP. Signal is sampled from sound card input, processed and then sent to the output with VERY LOW LATENCY - virtually undetectable. This is achieved using DirectSound or WDM streaming for fast access to the hardware (sound card) and fast DSP algorithms optimized for realtime processing.
Besides that, Guitar FX BOX features intuitive user interface, supports presets and hot keys for quick presets changing, MIDI/Game controllers pedals for wah-wah effect, configurable tuner, file input/output and more...
Effects included:
- Overdrive/Distortion
- Echo
- Reverb
- Chorus
- Wah-wah (AutoWah and EnvelopeWah)
- Pitch shifter
- Tremolo
- I/O Bass/Mid/Treble EQ controls
- Compressor
- Phaser
- Guitar tuner
New in v2.8
- Speaker cabinet simulator,
- Vintage analog phaser option,
- MIDI control support for external devices like foot controllers,
- VST live link plugin for integration with VST host applications,
- Metronome,
- Improved tuner setup, for bass guitar etc.
- Zoom window option, for comfortable viewing on small DPI setting,
- File manipulation improved, added seeking and more options...
- Minor bug fixes,


Great Software!
I'm very happy with this software. Plays without any noticeable delay.
OK at first there was some noticeable delay, then I selected the WDM streaming output in 'settings' and it worked fine.
I have abandoned the idea to get an amp plug.
Also In the beginning there was a lot of noise, then I remembered a trick of tying the guitar signal cable into a knot so noise signals cancel out.
Now its quieter although sometimes there is a low volume buzzing noise when my bare feet are toughing the floor. This noise disappears when I rest my feet on the sofa.
Overall I'm very happy ;-)

Go to the "SETUP" on your guitarfx 2.6 and turn on the "sample rate" to "44.1 kHz".

I dont recommend buying this software as i payed for it and there was a problem with the email he sent me and he wouldnt reply, so i payed for nothing. DONT PAY
Re: dont pay
Same goes with me he wouldnt reply shareit replied once but they just sent me reg.key file. Not the full program. Assholes
line in selection
I have a big problem. When i play its also effecting any other sounds going on. Ive set my mixer to line in, not stereo mix and it still effects and amplifies any other sounds within windows. If it was on stereo mix id understand but its purely line in. upsetting me, im trying to record in adobe audition and it records the metronome too, and when its on, and it has its own dedicated soundcard, everything gets recorded.
With out Brain Surgery
So far I tried download VSTs. They suck.
All I want is some simple special effects. If I download this unit, will I have to download anything else?
I hope not.
Thanks
FX box for linux?
Hi
I tried GFB on Wondows XP - it sounds good, however is there any chances for releasing it under Linux? New kernels+Preemtion patches+Jack Server gives absolutely better, and faster response than any Windows sound servers or drivers I evaluated. Thus I suggest that nowadays linux is better choice for realtime playing.
Need fuul program?cheap man!call mee
for everybody who want play guitar but dnt have enough money u can call me

I'm looking for a preset that sounds like "money for nothing" by the dire straits. Or how to make it myself :)
Money for Nothing
Mark uses a Wah Wah Pedal for Money for Nothing. You just have to open it like half way or so to find the exact same sound.
I need help
Hi, you look like to have knowledges about the software guitarfx box. I have a question for you, can you explain me how to install presets for the software.
how to record with the fx box
just go to the files tab and click on the output file: button name it with a .wav (riff.wav) and you can also play it back and play over the track by selecting play background track file click browse and select the file you just made

Re: Will DirectX 8 improve things?
Nope.. latency is not a thing of Windows but its about soundcard drivers and capabilities. Professional users should buy a professional soundcard. Lowest latency on RME Hammerfall soundcards. 5 ms latency from microphone through puredata to speaker (!) on pentium 4 systems: 1.5 ms latency for audio input, 2 ms for software and 1.5 ms latency for audio output. It'll cost a bit money, but you don't have to bitch with latency ever again.
: Latency is a big problem with a 'real-time' effects in Windows. Ive heard that Cakewalk and Sonic Foundary are working with Microsoft to sort this out and would have something to show for it with DirectX 8.
: Can someone explain to me what all this is about and will 'hear as you play' effects and plugins ever happen?

Sound Card Question
I had version 2.5 of the fx box and it worked fine without a sound card, I have a Yamaha 724 DS-1 chip set. I got version 2.6 and the sound is scratchy as hell.
I have Windows XP
192 MB Ram
Does anyone think a sound card would help the scrathiness.
System Freezes
My problem is that after using the Software in Windows Millenium, when I shut down my System, the system simply freezes up, with the desktop in the background and some weird green lines across the display. Since Windows doesn't respond, I then have to forcibly power off the system and that just isn't right. Can someone help here?
Thanks in advance,
FenderBender
Scratchy 2.6 in XP
I have the demo version of FXBOX 2.6, the sound is really scratchy no matter what I do. Can someone please help. I am desperate. I have version 2.5 also. I upgraded to windows xp and the sound is fine but there is big-time latency.
Re: Scratchy 2.6 in XP
Try downloading presets for this software and also change the setting under the setup tab when u start guitar fx box 1. choose the maximum sample rate 2. try selecting different input out devices 3 low your guitars volume. good luck

THIS IS AWESOME
Hi,
Just wanted to post my comments. This program is awesome. At first I thought it stunk. You do have to work with it a bit. Let me share what I did. I have an el-cheapo Kramer foucus (great buy) with a single coil PU. My PC is an AMD Duron @1.33 MHz with 512MB Ram AND WIN98SE. Fist I found the lastest drivers from creative labs for my sound card that support WDM read the help file that come with FX BOX (took some looking to find the right update but they are out there. This decreased the delay (latency) BIG TIME. I'm down to the min. setting of 5ms now. I also had to play with the check boxes under settings a few times to get the right comination so I did not have the "pops" and "clicks". Then I played and tweeked the sound to get what I want. Guys, those of you that are bashing this program have not spent enough time. The person that wrote this made it very easy to use. For rock try this. Make sure you are in the LINE IN jack and use the Windows mixer to get the level to 0dB. Turn the distortion on. If you hear clean guitar you need to MUTE the recording mixer in the windows. Now set the output to 0dB. Play with just the distortion settings till you get the sound, and sustain you like. My favorite is hard dist. with Satuation on. Now put both the LOW PASS filter in mid postions. Now play with these until you get the TONE you want. You MUST get a good sound hear FIRST. If you get pop and click got try the setting options I'm using a sample 22kHz and set mono instead of stereo(stereo does not matter until you delay or chorus and even then its no big deal it) Turning stereo of allows more effects and you to use less delay and not have clicks. Now Go to the EQ and turn the option on. If you hate you guitar PU you could turn on the EQin this would let you shape you PU BEFORE distortion (I.E. you can have anypickup you want go look at the seymor duncun web site to see the graphic shape of some famous pus.) For example the Gibson PAF is a ver MID P.U. so you could take you 5.00 P.U. and boost the MID to make it sound more PAF like. My elcheapo PUs sounded fine tso I did not check tyhe EQ in. I'm am a 80s leftover though and used to have a Boogie (Metalica sound) the thing I like about my Boogie was the Post preamp actice EQ. I could set the classice EQ V shape and have a sound that could break windows and peal paint off the wall and had enough crunch to hurt someone. So guess what the OUT EQ does. You got it. I can get that boogie tone or any other tone. Now go back and play with the Low pass again in the distortion and do some final tweek. You should have a killer tone now. No turn on some delay or reverb. Any clicks or pops go back to settings and tweek. I was able to recreate the Van Halen 1 guitar sound pretty close with a single coil $80 strat copy. And I tried the REVALVER program and hated it. It do a good speaker cab simulation but the delay time (latency) was just too much. The author of this program saya his has low latency and its true. Go the the Guitar FX box web site and look at what in the future amp modeling. Not the mention the already included recording and play back wave features. If this guy can get a drum maching and multi tracks with this look out. If you can't make this work your doing something wrong. And my thanks to the author for making a great program.
