Cool jay!
if you need any help let me know. also join the forum and you can get alot of answers and help right away
i think you will be really happy. there is a guy on GS in the Ultra post who was very gun shy about the whole thing who absolutely loves it now. he plays for a living
anyway, good stuff!
you may know all this but here is the forum link
http://www.fractalaudio.com/forum/index.phpthe owner is on there and helps quite a bit, his name is Cliff
also the GUI is really nice now but you def want to make sure your MIDI device is compatible, and there are posts on that. i only use the gui now to control the unit
hope this helps some
the updates come pretty readily and so far ALL have improved the sound and the capabilities of the unit
alot of guys use it into an amp or PA and play live. many others, such as myself, just run it direct in the studio. it has improved my songs guitar sounds exponentially
