Thanks Mac,
You're probably right about the midi, although I have a USB port which connects to the computer to download recent patches from Digitech. The Digitech 1000 Workstation is just what you said, a multi-effects guitar workstation. I still haven't had time to look at my owners manual but since I couldn't record directly into BB via midi, I'll have to assume for the present you are right. I will read my manual and let you know shortly. As far as my guitar (gear) situation goes, I have several, as most guitarist do. I have a 2006 Telecaster, a 1995 Stratocaster, a 1964 Gibson 330, a 1965 Venture's Mosrite, and a 1976 Ovation accoustic. I tend to keep guitars a long time. None of them have the Roland midi pick-up you were talking about but I've been thinking hard about the newer Stratocaster with that pick-up. Might be a wise investment and work well with BB.
