Been playing with my little Toneport GX on a cheap laptop for the first time today.. nice little box... would almost fit in your pocket.. maybe a LARGE pocket. Has a clip on the back of it to hang it on your hip or guitar strap.. I dunno why, you would need a heck of a long USB cable...

Gearbox software worked fine under Vista ... and a pretty neat little setup..
Line6 Monkey configured it all up.. updated software.. pretty slick..

I did have a problem figuring how to make the browser window bigger in gearbox (to lazy to read docs) but that was it. Loading tones..getting tones offline/online.. went smoothe....

For the 70 bucks and at first glance and use..it's a winner..

One thing that's wierd.. you use your headphones.. sound does not come thru the computer speakers at all when first configured..

But yes.. it does record into audacity etc just fine..

I assume there is a work around to get this to the computer speakers.
Just have yet to look into it..

For a small silent setup.. Guitar,laptop, good headphones and toneport GX would be hard to beat...guitar case and laptop case and your set.
