Also downloaded Voxengo Boogex.  Also wow.  Sounds very good, especially the clean sounds. I don't like it's amp overdrive as much, but again - I have stompers to fix that.  It only adds 6-7% to my CPU, which is amazing.  And it's free.  From reading a thread at Voxengo, the author says I can turn down the "tone, drive and phase" knobs and basically eliminate Boogex's preamp - so I *could* use this thing as a power/speaker modeler to round things off.  I haven't tried that yet cause I've been too enamored with these two toys! :)
 
see, I didn't even know this! Cool.

You gents have me considering going straight into the laptop with my dry guitar signal (again).  When this new laptop arrives (this week!!) I'm going to see if I can pull it off, and still use my growing Bidule setup, without any crackles.

that would be wonderful and liberatingn for you. I'm doing that now with just my laptop's stock soundcard and ASIOforAll friver, just as an interium solution before I  add the FW400, but I'll still be going direct into the laptop with the plain ol guitar signal. I was playing with my system tonight, and messing with the Boogex again...I just like that VST a lot....maybe even as good as the Roland MicoCube blackface simulation. Heck, with the FW400 going directly into my laptop and max/msp, and then into Boogex VST before going to all my max patches, that sound just might be acceptable to me. Who knows...time will tell.  I'm counting on all the comments from Kaiser and Per on the FW400 being totally true.
