Wow, great info! A few more questions if you don't mind pestering him some more: Will the modeling amplifier do more things than my POD will, or is the same thing in amplifier form? Because if not, I've already got amp modeling covered. And of the two (Line6 vs Roland), which has the better guitar modeling, since that's what I'm mainly interested in? The last thing is how does the Variaxe play as a guitar? I'm not terribly picky since I haven't honed my electric chops yet, but I don't want to be playing on a Squire or anything . . .

Oh, and I'm very proud to say that the Line 6 models the Martin D-28 . . .my guitar! It just feels good to know I'm playing a "classic".

One cool thing about the Roland is I could play my Martin for all my alternate tunings. Of course, if I were to use the Variaxe I could just use the D-28 setting for my acoustic stuff (though that feel be really wierd) and keep my D-28 tuned down for my "alternate tuning" songs.
