Herb,

You got me to do some spring cleaning in the studio and I am glad I did.

This is not your setup per se with that Spark amp (which I looked at) but it is similar.

I can do a lot of things (because I have a lot of instruments) but one thing I just did was run a line out of the Fender Super Champ XD, which has some cool amp sims, using a tweed amp, into the audio interface.

Then I opened up Amplitube and tried some Fender amp sims at a low gain with the incoming amp signal, chaining the real amp to the fake one. It sounds REALLY good. Basically two amps, but one is real (and tube) and the other is not. I can keep the amplitube amp or turn it off and just use the pedals.

There is MORE than enough here for me to find more sounds than I will ever use, considering I have pedal boards, and effects racks too.

So I kinda jimmy-rigged a version of what you have and it is fun. I look forward to messing with it. With the amp speaker unplugged I get to keep my wife as well.

Well, at least for the time being.
