Re: OT:guitar-X-s/pdif

thanks guys...
being more specific:

battery, hitting a conical s/pdif, and hi-z for gt./bass input.

other option, would be to get one of those line6,m-audio,behringer,...
tiny usb ports.

does anybody have experience with guitar oriented usb interfaces?

thanks again,
raul.
