So here's what I did; Toshiba nb305 netbook + line6 pod farm 2 with UX2 interface + line6 shortboard MKII == Aweeeesome. You have to set the buffer size reasonably high to get it to work flawlessly, but tbh I don't even notice the latency, and you can get such a clear tone from it at low volume and at high volume, and it weighs next to nothing. You have to take the UX2 as well, but still, a lot smaller/lighter than an amp! Obviously, you need a PA to run it into, but if your practice room has one then it's fine. I also just then monitor myself with headphones so I can hear myself properly. Been using it at practices, and it works brilliantly. -Adam You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

So far it's actually been really reliable. It's running win7 home (i upgraded from starter that it came with) and it hasn't crashed or anything at all. Used it for several hours during a few practice sessions and there were no problems at all. I guess you'd just have to be careful to keep your machine clean of applications that you dont need that might cause performance to drop or clash with the pod farm software in some way. Just so suprised it runs so well on a little netbook, it's only 10", it's a tiny little thing. -Adam You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
