Re: Guitar Rig 2 as looper or looper feed?

["Art Simon" <simart@gmail.com>]

If you like your audio interface and have a midi foot controller you
are happy with, it wouldn't hurt to check out Green Machine, my
favorite VST guitar amp simulator. I prefer the sound to Guitar Rig,
but sound is very subjective and I'm not particularly interested in
emulating any particular amp. I think the demo works without any
restrictions for 30 days.

I'm currently using a Line6 TonePort. Since it's doing the amp
simulation outboard of the computer, it's a bit more CPU friendly.

I don't have any experience with the Guitar Rig foot controller, just
the demo software.
