Levelator® adjusts the audio levels within your podcast or other audio file for variations from one speaker to the next, for example.

guitarix takes the signal from your guitar as any real amp would do: as a mono-signal from your sound card. The input is processed by a main amp and a rack-section. Both can be routed separately and deliver a processed stereo-signal via Jack. You may fill the rack with effects from more than 25 built-in modules from a simple noise gate to brain-slashing modulation f/x stuff like flanger, phaser or auto-wah.
