I'm using a Johnson but I think these are not available anymore. I choose this one mainly for 2 reasons: it sounded as good for bass than for guitar and the accouistic simulation was almost convincing. > > 2) I'd like to minimise the amount of equipment I have to haul.

(At this point, special kudos to Per > Boysen, whose work with the software has been absolutely stunning.) take care of one thing: the signal path should end with the looper for maximum flexibility. Some amps with all the effects included are great but if there is no effect loop, you are stuck. Same goes for the laptop. Do you plan to put it in the send of your mixer? Or perhaps just using a guitar and the laptop: guitar > virtual FX > virtul amp > virtual looper > PA.
