I would use Native Instruments' Guitar Rig wich would give you a maximum of flexibility. If you practice just get some high quality headphones and the soundquality will be awsome. It also works on linux using FST and wine. On 8/9/06, Peter Finnegan <petespin@xxxxxxx> wrote:

I have a the V-amp pro which I use for Bass and Guitar. I run my bass through a patch with the tube pre-amp and a little bit of compression, and I am quite happy with it. If I have a gig where I can run direct through a PA, it sounds great (and beats hauling a ton of gear). Peter
