Distortions, especially, have often sounded artificial when created digitally. Historically, digital guitar FX have frequently failed to achieve the sound quality of their analog predecessors. The question of whether it will sound good is possibly your number one concern. The idea of using a computer as a guitar FX processor can certainly be a daunting thought if you haven’t investigated the possibility before, and you’ll likely have some questions like: What software should I use? What hardware do I need? And will it really sound as good? These more advanced applications will have to await explanation in future blog posts, but following the information in this post, you will easily be able to set your computer up to run a few guitar effects, and set them to be switched on and off with a foot-controller. Perhaps you’re even interested in taking your setup beyond guitar-only territory and syncing a virtual drum machine up to your looper, and having a play with some software synthesizers while you’re at it. Or you want to store a number of “presets” for different songs, to avoid having to memorise and quickly recall the correct positions for all those hardware knobs.

Or maybe you want to be able to change the order in which your effects are connected to each other, quickly and without messing around with patch cables. Maybe you want a more compact setup for when you go on tour.
Not only will it probably be cheaper than a traditional hardware-based setup, it will also be smaller, lighter, and far more customisable. Have you ever thought of using your computer as a live guitar FX setup? Depending on what you want to do musically, this approach can have tremendous advantages.
