amping computer effected guitar input/live reamping

[Dysanfel]

Your idea will work, but it sounds to me like lots of extra gear for not much more bang over a decent multi-effects processor.

The only big advantage I see in doing this is if you playing backing tracks from your computer and you want to automate you guitar FX as you play your set. But, since this isn't for stage....

Also, you have the added disadvantage of latency and your printing your effects which defeats one of the advantages of reamping to begin with. Unless I misread something...

Just my humble opinion.

Latency can be a killer...

yeah, I figure latency will be present but the sounds are more swell and slow attack sounds so I am not too concerned about that aspect..........

I wonder if the digitech rp 155 might do the trick? It seems to be USB 1.1 but is already set up to take audio into and out of the computer and put it through a guitar amp.

What do you all think would have better latency....the digitech or a cheap usb 2.0 interface?...probably the dedicated audio interface?

I do this all the time. It works great and you can print more amp tracks from the original take when you want to. What I really like is being able to separate nailing the perfect take from nailing the perfect tone. Latency isn't a huge issue if you have a mean enough machine, also you can make the DI/sim track louder for tracking monitoring and mix in the live tracks as needed.
