Cycling 74 guitar tutorials

There are some good tutorials on the Cycling 74 website for making a guitar-processing rig in Max. I've been going through these over the last week and they have some excellent Max techniques, as well as a good use of Presentation mode.

Expand your guitar, vol. 1 - a good intro to the basics of hooking up an instrument to your computer, and how to set it up in Max.

Max 5 guitar processor, part 1
- includes an interesting flow chart on how to plan a large-scale, complex Max patch. Starts with input, compressor, and output (including test sounds and white noise).

Max 5 guitar processor, part 2 - continues the above patch, adding overdrive and EQ (personally I didn't have great results with the overdrive, but I wasn't using a guitar to run the patch - your mileage may vary).
