That's a great idea. I sometimes practice without an amp. But it's a big difference playing through an amp, it's like adding a whole extra instrument into the mix. So it's an absolutely necessary part of the process to learn to play with the amp.

I installed the latest firmware patch . . .

I tried these tones and wow....My amp has come alive. I wonder if the old FW of my amp was somehow corrupted? Anyway, happy days....

[p]Good deal! Keep practicing!
