DetailsYou can connect a guitar to the iriver line in, and
connect the iriver to portable speakers or a home stereo. Thus with the original firmware, the iriver became a make-shift amp. If there was a plugin to capitalise on this with controls just like a real amp (distortion, delay, feedback, etc.) it would be great fun. |

Not sure about how much processing can support the cpu in the H300 but probably some basic effects (like distortion, delay, flanger) could be done.
A note for developpers, on this website there's some source code for audio effects:

To be able to plug a guitar into the line input of a rockbox device, and hear/record an amp simulated signal, would be very cool indeed, especially if paired with multitracking capabilities (see my and others rant on http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4956 ).
The most needed features of an amp simulator plugin would be
1 the amp simulator itself :-), perhaps with a choice of a few models.
2 an input volume knob, aka "drive"
3 basic tone controls. Either just a simple tone control, or perhaps one for bass, mid and treble
4 cabinet simulation - very important in order to sound like an actual guitar amp
5 all other plugins, reverbs, delays, phasers, flangers, autowhas and effects we can whip up
Of these, no. 1 and 4 can be combined. After all, they're both about changing the input signal. No. 3 could be of relatively simple layout. No. 5 is just a bonus, and not really that important (although cool).
