I guess I'm just enamored of the "one box" idea. When I mounted the rolls preamp in my computer, high-gain guitar settings gave unacceptable amounts of noise. It was the interaction of the preamp and the computer. While the pickups can cause some problems in proximity to a computer, that hasn't been a big problem for me. I'd love to have an amp that ran mobius and my guitar amp sims. You could just turn the power on and start playing anywhere. Imagine it had a battery. I'd love it.
