hd300 straight to laptop setup ko. just tweaked some stuff. loving the deep edit parameters like bias and sag. really alters the feel of the amps. it pays to research the amps themselves. ive recently begun exploring the lower gain models. the hd300 is enough for me and my studio. im not really that into effects and routing options anyway. all amp models are the same on all three pods so if amps lang habol mo, hd300 would suffice.
