Do any of you know of any good sites that contain digital

>Implementations - no, but there are many great research papers and articles from which, if you have the math background, you should be able to implement your own models. That's how I started. I read numerous papers published through DAFX, CCRMA, and others, and played around with numerical models and spreadsheets before ever writing a line of code. NOTE: implementing accurate and quality sounding DSP guitar effects is no trivial matter and requires thorough knowledge of DSP concepts and a lot of experience to translate into working models. Here's a few sites that have good research papers:

https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~mejane/pubs97html.html

David T. Yeh and Julius O. Smith, both from Stanford U's CCRMA have published some really great stuff. Check out:

https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~dtyeh/papers/yeh06_dafx.pdf
https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~dtyeh/papers/yeh07_dafx_distortion.pdf
https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/pasp/

From there, you should be able to find other links.

Good Luck!
