Hard Sync is definitely the traditional method for guitar lead emulation.
Note that you only necessarily need one MOTM-300 to do it - I've used the
MOTM-320 LFO output as a sync source (but not yet while tweaking the wave
shape - I gotta try that!), but any audio (or even sub-audio) signal with
sufficient amplitude should (I think) work as a source (although using
exclusively MOTM gear is, of course, classier).

And adjustable sync is a feature of one of my other modulars that I haven't
yet had the chance to thoroughly investigate ... that might provide more
variation of timbre.

Additional guitar-emulation tricks might include running the MOTM-300
output into a -120 to fatten/beef up the signal or hooking up a CV pedal to
the -420 for wah pedal action. And a VC analog delay would be great for
adding flanging ...
