I sold my pod 2.0 ´cause i didn´t found the tone i was looking for...
But, i can´t say is not a good idea to grab a guitarport for 100 bucks...
I already have a firepod, so i don´t need a soundcard to plug a guitar, so... Am i paying for just plugins? The guitarport use any kind of hard to emule amps (like the pod) or is just a device tu plug the guitar (ad da convertion) and the rest is plug ins?
Any happy user of the guitarport or toneport?
 
The guitarport uses software emulations of amps, and the actual hardware is only for I/O. I'm pretty sure, anyway. I've never used one, but I think this is correct.
 
it uses software on the PC to load up a DSP chip in the box (via USB) with all kinds of app emulations. you can go online and download a ton of settings as well as create your own. you can use use it directly for sound input with its ASIO driver but that precludes using other ASIO drivers while doing so, OR you can use the audio output and record it like regular audio. it also comes with some tracking software that is simple and yet confusing at the same time so I don't bother using it...

I recommend recording a clean track as well as the emulation track so you can re-amp through it later if you want to change the effects or emulation settings.
 
I was told that using the guitarport you´re using a lot of recurses of your cpu... is that true?
It´s hard to believe that a 99 bucks unit can give you the SAME sounds that a PODXT... am i wrong?
