I mean, both softwares has guitar amps and stompbox effects. The point of the buttons that are pressed by the feet (as shown in the Image above) is to activate the effects, which really can be useful, seeing as you can turn it on or off during play. If this interface was Firewire 800 (or even 3200 ready), that would be sweet (although that would jack up the price).<br><br>Dang, why am I "Anonymous!" this sucks........:(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anonymous]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2009 10:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apogee debuts GiO USB guitar interface and controller for Macs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/apogee-debuts-gio-usb-guitar-interface-and-controller-for-macs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/24/apogee-debuts-gio-usb-guitar-interface-and-controller-for-macs/</guid><description><![CDATA[ok that's what i though "anonymous" but don't software like Amplitube (outstanding i use it) and guitar rig have these with included and rather well respected effects at less or the same price.
