Hi guys, this is what I'm trying to achieve.
electric guitar into pc.... get required sound using software amp modelling, guitar rig or pod farm...then out of pc into/out of amp.
Is it doable? easy tricky hard?
Going into pc is possible I know, its the coming out of pc and through my amp that my question really relates to.
thanks
Dave

I'm no sound engineer or electrician (far from it!) but I can't see why it wouldn't work.
I'd replace the pc speakers with the amp using suitable cabling.
Are you introducing the amp simply for extra volume because I'm thinking the pc/audio interface should have plenty of distortion and other tricks available to it, thereby making the amp superfluous to requirements.
Good luck

I guess I was really thinking about not overloading my pc speakers. It's only for bedroom 'twanging', nothing serious....

Well, first of all I just plugged the cable in and waited to play.....pc recognised cable and said it had installed drivers and it was ready.
I didn't realise I needed to launch an audio recording prog....duh!
Anyway, after being told that by the seller, I did just that ( I tried audacity, kristal, reaper,) all to no avail.Apparently there is a light on the usb plug that lights up when a signal is passing through it...not a flicker.
Seller was very good, tried to talk me through stuff, but nothing worked, and said to send it back for a refund. Havn't sent it yet tho, so any last minute suggestions would be very welcome.
thanks
Dave
