Guitar-ZyX(tm) is a LiveDVD/USB operating system distribution, that can
immediately boot both your Nintendo(tm)-DS, and your x86/64 PC, into
a guitar pre-amp f/x processing appliance, complete with wireless dual screen
touchpad remote control. You can even velcro or embed the NDS in your
guitar if so inclined. In addition to switching among 77+ different
f/x presets, the NDS remote control's touchscreen can also linearly control
any two of about a hundred independent f/x parameters in real-time. I.e.
a very cost effective TouchScreenWhammyPad.

Guitar-ZyX-0.3.1 uses the excellent Rakarrack open source guitar-f/x
software to provide effects. Guitar-ZyX-0.3.1 is derived from Fedora(tm)-10
and has compatable full access to the upstream software repositories
including updates.

Guitar-ZyX is entirely free and open source software, with all source
available, for both the PC and NDS components. All necessary compilers
and build tools are also included, allowing anyone to modify and enhance
in any way their imagination and code-fu skills allow.
