Flat frequency response is for the scientists. The recording engineer tries to please the musician they record, which is about sound. Mic makers make mic response based on the sound.  Mics are often characterized by instrument. Most difficult is human voice, for that Neumann.

I think you should look at this like a tool set. Table look up is one tool that you can use as it iterative function evaluation. What tools you use depends on circumstances. On the PC platform you have big caches, lots of memory and real fast CPU clocks. If you go FPGA clock rate goes down as

In terms of computational complexity, most of the complexity is in modelling, tuning the parameters to fit data. However, once you're done with this offline task, running the result should not be that heavy. That process should be real-time on new CPUs. Your latency should then be just the

If you modelled the system for all cases, that would make your task much more complicated. It would be much simpler to model sweet spots. Perhaps fix the guitar that sends in inputs. Narrow the range of the amps and the EQs. Even tune to playing styles of guitarists. All these steps help
