I feel obliged to declare that one of the items listed is mine. It is safe to do this because my item is a MIDI synthesizer module. It has no keys and, consequently, will be of no interest to you whatsoever.
Proper bargain.

The Jam origin search turned up a Midi Guitar 2 video which looks quite interesting. Presumably thats just plugging your guitar through an audio interface which is what I do now with Audacity and my zoom g3 pedal. That might be worth exploring.
I think for now ill maybe look at seeing what the best and lowest cost option is for producing the sounds I want through my guitar. I have an old Ibanez PF230 3 pick up (Les Paul), a Tanglewoood acoustic and an ancient Keller Spanish guitar with a decent pickup in it. Will it make much difference to the sound through one of these Electro Harmonix pedals or through the Midi Guitar 2 software or could you pretty much put anything through them?
That Roland XP50 that Digitalkettle is selling does sound like quite a bargain going by the comments. I think I would like to see one in the flesh though to see if I think I could get to grips with it. I bought my Rode Condenser mic off him, good bloke. That was a good price as well.
Anyway, much to think about. Thanks for all the suggestions. I think for now though Ill see what I can turn my guitar into and just cheat. As usual of course my budget is zero to not very much (well what I can get away with).
Or you could ask @HarrySeven how he is getting on with his beetle quantar.
If you have an Apple iPad or iPhone, consider Flux FX Play.

In the realm of the H7 obsolete gear collection, form outweighs functionality. Always!
The software route might be the way to go or at least try then. I have both my Zoom g3 and an M Audio interface and both a PC Tower and a decent laptop so presumably I dont need any other hardware? I wonder if there is a trial version.
If the G3 does not offer pick-sensitive Slow Attack, use a volume pedal or the guitar's volume pot(s) instead.
I was hoping I wouldnt have to learn how to use another DAW really.
The XP-50 spec includes a hardware MIDI sequencer. This would allow you to program drum and keyboard parts for hands-free replay, leaving you to play guitar and/or sing on top.
Various aspects of the Roland JV/XP instrument series may have been superseded some time ago but this does not necessarily prevent its sounds from sitting better in a mix than the newer, all-singing, all-dancing instruments.

Im sure its a fine piece of kit, I havent got £250 spare right now though unfortunately. Well I have precisely £0 spare as far as Mrs D is concerned otherwise I would snap your hand off on your piano. You never know.
I spent an hour or so playing with Midi Guitar 2. Well it took me most of that time just to get a sound out of it until I realised the interface was set to the wrong channel number. The default settings certainly sound nothing like the youtube videos thats for sure. The Piano sounds like some dodgy out of tune Saloon Piano from a bad western. Everything else very much sounds like a guitar. Trouble is it stops working after a couple of minutes with it being a demo.
On the plus side I did figure out how to plug it into to record in Audacity. It wouldnt record via the M Audio interface into Audacity and just recorded the basic guitar notes. This probably sounds bonkers but I just took the output from my M Audio headphone jack and plugged it into my zoom g3 pedal with all the effects off and then chose that as the recording device in audacity and it works. Not sure Ill stick with it though.
I could just do what I normally do and how I learned to use my Zoom G3, just sit down with a bottle of decent red and bash buttons and stuff until something good comes out of it. Or not.
Im trying to think what I can Flog so I can buy DK's Roland. Anyone want a 1970s 100w Marshall Combo (not working)?
