If you're only going to record a miked acoustic guitar, you won't need all the effects the V-amp has so you might be better of with some other preamp I guess. If you're considering to also record electric guitar and bass I'd definitely recommend te V-amp 2.
the behringer v-amp 2 looks good for me. how much is it?
also, i am j/w, can you use an amp for a preamp? b/c from what i gather all a preamp does is get the signal up to line to record, right? can an amp do that?

Yes, most amps have a line out that can be used to record. Nine out of ten this will sound like crap, with a lot of noice and/or distorted, YMMV. You'd definetly want to get a preamp.
As I said, if you're gonna record electric guitar you’ll want something like the V-amp2 or the Line6 Pod. If you only want to record vocals and clean (acoustic) guitar, you’ll probably be better of with a preamp like the DPM-3 as maestro_dmc suggests.
