erm..if u dun need a usb input to ur com to record songs...i will suggest u to buy the G2..instead of G2.1u...the distortion wise..it pretty decent...alot of diff kind of drive r there for u to chose..from the high gain mesa/boogie distortion to the metal zone...its up to u to explore and change around the setting with it...i jus use it for a couple of hrs..and im damn in love with it
