Not having a mic at the moment, I can't test this. But wondered if I could simply run one thru my Digitech modelling pedal into my PC? I know a mic works fine enough plugged into an amp, so the logic seems sound. (heheh "sound" I kill me!)

I'm aware of all the sonic drawbacks, just want to know if it's possible. I'm heading out today to get a midi controller for my s/w drums, so the mic purchase is not far off now. So long as it can sound half decent, I can hold off on an interface for now.
