Speaking of distortion and ART's SGE, I recently discovered a great
(to my ears) distortion setting. I think it's DDL introduces some phase 
shift, even at 0ms delay. I set up the SGE so that the dry side of the
Mix control got the output of the distortion, and the Wet side got the
output of the distortion plus a 0ms DDL. With the Mix control at 50/50 there 
seems to be some great phase cancellation happening that sucks out a lot of 
the highs. (Actually it sucked out a bit too much, so I used the EQ to
boost 10Khz by +6db after the distortion.)

A few issues ago, the Computer Music Journal had an article in which the
Karplus-Strong algorithm was extended to incorporate distortion of the
vibrating string (if memory serves me correctly). Has anyone heard the
output of this algorithm? In fact, has anyone run the output of a
Karplus-Strong algorithm through a guitar setup?
