Ask Santa for one of those cheap guitar/amp starter combos. They go for like 100 quid, even
Argos are doing them now. And skanks and reggae guitar in general are a piece of piss.

Auan & two oh one - you seriously need to get girlfriends. All you seem to do is make jokes out of everyones questions!
Why not be helpful and put the guy in the right direction.
You both seem to know a lot about music production, why not use these skills and help others.
It just seems a little childish to me.
bebop guitar rig is is good, but you would be best getting some sample packs, have a search around.

I seem to have low tolerance for posts that seem to be typed by an illiterate chimp hitting a keyboard with a broom...
1) Read up on some Reggae forums to see what pedals to put guitar through. Replicate it with your ingenuity and some software.
or
2) Simply listen to what is happening in your favourite records and figure out how to replicate it. This takes more knowledge and experience, but is well, well worth it. You get it wrong and discover a lot on the way.
or
3) Buy/borrow a guitar, if you don't have one. Learn to do it for real (Unthinkable, eh?)
or
4) Or, just don't bother learning, be a hack and sample somebody else's hard work. Get your fave record and nick the bits that get you excited.
Four answers for the price of one. No magic plug in called skankamatic3000, I'm afraid.

Damn man, that was really arrogant. Calling the guy chimp and all that just for asking a very simple question.
This forum was created for questions, right?
As for dem skank's. Well, have you tried Slayer/ and something like guitar amp 2? That could give you some results.

Someone did ask exactly the same questions a few weeks back - if you can find that post there's major and minor skanks for all chromatic keys which you can just load up into your sampler and skank away to your hearts content. Think it's in the sample packs at
www.versionist.com if I remember right.
2Oh1's answer is a bit (well very) sarky, but is mostly good advice as you'll discover hopefully as you continue to produce.
At least you didn't ask about wobble

No, I called him a chimp because the writing was willfully terrible and made my head hurt.

I swear people are getting more illiterate by the year and I'm very, very scared.
And as Shonky said, big ups for not asking about wobble (Although he did ask about bassline in another thread)
There needs to be more Skank and less identikit Wobble.
Get skanking and ignore me. I'm old and grumpy.

find a clean guitar. load into sampler of coice. make layer a few notes to make a chord. compress. equalize. add delay and reverb to taste.
voila....skanking time.
same approach works with keyboard and organ samples.
fuck a vst, make your own sounds.
