This may not be a good match for you. Audacity doesn’t apply effects or filters in real time. The best you can do is record yourself plain and then apply effects later. We can tell you how to do that. Describe your computer.
Koz
I think the cheapest way is “a guitar to USB interface”
Like Koz said , you’ll need software other than Audacity to apply effects in real-time , (i.e. where you hear the effect as you play).
I think worth mentioning that several forum users have reported problems with very cheap unbranded (and ‘knock-off’ clones) guitar interfaces of this type. From what we hear, the branded ones work OK (and are still inexpensive even if not as cheap).
