Re: Got a TonePort
The software interface is definitely the breakout star here. I never played with a GuitarPort, so I don't know how much is being borrowed from that, but with the small complaint of not having TOTAL control over the ordering of effects (many effects have a pre or post-amp option, but beyond that, they are where they are) the interface is nearly flawless.
When I bought my first V-amp (later stolen and replaced) I tested a 1st-gen Pod and a Johnson J-station and found that I actually preferred the V-amp's models to those, particularly for clean and slightly dirty stuff. It's been interesting to play with the Line6 versions of the amp models that I use most often in my V-amp. In most cases, there is no clear winner, but cool variations on a theme between the V-amp and the TonePort's XT models.
As for the hardware itself, It's so nice to be able to plug directly into a single unit sitting on my desk, rather than chaining a modeller or mic-pre into an outboard soundcard (my previous set-up).
