i want it to record with and to use as a front end for my amp, bacause at the moment i am limited to about 3 differant good sounds, its just going to go in the chain because i dont have a effects loop, guitar--pod 2.0--amp

im not sure if i will get a spider later on, i just want something cheap with a effects loop and a bit more power than i have now i think 50w should be more than enough for me but i dont need that yet. its basically a good poweramp section i will need if i get the pod, maybe a vavle amp dunno ill see what i can afford after my birthday

thnx for the advice on the spider tho silver
