Is it possible to use Guitar Rig 4 with my Mustang IV amp?? Has anyone done this yet?? I'm curious as they give you Amplitube with it so I'm assuming Guitar Rig will work also??

How about Garage Band on my MacBook Pro??

I'd try it myself but my amp showed up the day before I left for Afghanistan and I'm just looking at all my possibilities when I return, thank, ahead of time for any info. :)

I wonder if you can set the amp to clean like a 65 Reverb with no effects and use Guitar Rig4 as the effects unit.

I normally plug my guitar into the Kontrol interface(6 stomps and a pedal) then connect to my MacBook Pro via USB and listen on the headphone out or connect it to my Champ 600.

I'm assuming I can just replace the Champ in the loop with the Mustang set on a clean amp but am wondering if I can use Fuse,Guitar Rig, and the Amplitube as plug-ins in Garage Band thereby utilizing all the software I have and not wasting anything.

I'm actually a fan of Guitar Rig and that is the best way to use GR or any other modelling software with your amp.

thanks Loren, I take it then I would plug my Kontrol unit into the amp like I did my Champ but where?? and will I need to run 4 cables as the IV is a stereo amp or am I looking at this wrong?

The manual says to do this

Connect the FX SEND jack(s) to the input(s) on your external effects device and connect the FX RETURN jack(s) to the output(s) on your effects device.

In this configuration the guitar would be plugged into the amp instead of the Kontrol unit like I usually do, correct?? and all effects would be controlled from the Kontrol unit(6 stomp/pedal)

thanks again for the help, Chris

Another question, if I'm hooked up with Guitar Rig4 as my effects as posted above will going to Mode 3 on my 4 button foot switch allow me to by-pass the GR4/Kontrol and return to Fuse running on my laptop?? or is this mode only used to cancel effects that are set up within Fuse??

It looks like there isn't a way to cancel the effects being routed through the FXSend/Return on the amp unless you just unplug the unit, Correct??

I'll have the Kontrol unit and the amp connected to my laptop via USB........ I'm seeing endless possibilities here, if I wasn't sure the amp would disappear or get trashed I'd have my wife ship it to me :lol:

The GR4/Kontrol and my Tele and my Strat plus my MacBook Pro have been my salvation over here I can tell you that :D
