(More customer reviews)I purchased the Guitar Port XT to try to eliminate a lot of the pedals I have in my set up while also getting a few more effects that I do not have. That was kind of a hit and miss affair. The effects built in are good. They are also highly tweekable so you can get just about any sound you want. You can't change effects on the fly, so you'd still need rack effects to accomplish that. But, for most of my purposes, I just need a distortion or overdrive attached after the line out along with a wah, envelope filer, and maybe a flanger (since there isn't one in the software).
As far as the software is concerned, it's OK but not wonderful. It's a bit of a chore to set up your own sound and even to find a preset. The former should be a chore, but the latter is a bit of a disappointment. It needs more settings available from the downloads, maybe even setting downloadable from a community blog. There may be one, but I don't know about it. I've been cheating and I've been going to Boss's website to look up other effect settings, though a lot of the effect settings there are similar to the ones in the software.
Bottom line is that it's worth the $100. If you can drag a computer to your gig and don't change effects much, this will do an admirable job. It's an interesting an fun tool if not a little limited.
