quarry. sounds to me like you have an impedence mismatch between
the guitar and the 002. ie..i dont think you should be plugging your guitar directly into the 002. unless it specifically says guitar input on the 002.
what you need to do is try this....
guitar>>>>direct box or something like a guitar fx box or emulator (eg..
vamp, jstation digitech rp 50) >>>>002 input.
in summary one shouldnt plug guitars into sound card devices unless there is a specific input that says guitar input.peace.

yes you can, you use the digi002's pre's and go in and use a plugin like amplitube...

you very well should be able to do that but thanks for the advice
