    If you practice in the same room as your computer and don't need to take the modeler other places or plug into an amp, then get a toneport GX. I have one and rarely turn my amp on anymore, especially since I have to wear headphones at night while my family is asleep. It is easy to dial in tones and recall saved tones, easy to record with, sounds great, and the Guitarport online lessons are interesting.

    Jasongins - this is pretty much my line of thinking. My PC is in the corner of my living room where I do most of my playing, late at night when family is in bed. Im also hoping my work IT might let me install it on my work laptop so i can use it on my lunchtime jams at work (got some powered speakers ready!) so I dont have to keep lugging an amp in. Sadly I still have a CRT monitor so will have a hum problem but I'll probably be able to live with that (and play a bit further away). I am definitely leaning towards the GX at the moment!

    I also seriously though about selling the AD30 and getting one of the Superchamp XD's in your sig. Seems a superb amp!

    I fully agree With Tone 2 the Bone, I also have a POD 2.0 and I'm vey happy with it. It's very straightforward to get a great sound without searching too long and the noise level for recording is really acceptable ! I plug in and send the signal with stereo cable to my Pro Tools mBox interface Works great !

    I got a toneport GX in the end. Didnt get on with the pocket pod controls and it felt all cheap and breakable. Plus the toneport was only £49. Not installed yet, day off work tomorrow so will play then..
