Sansamp GT-2 should also be in the shortlist, though it doesn't have effects, but sound great.
yes!

i have quite a bit of experience with sansamp gear now, feel free to message me about it anyone.

I'm probably being a bit thick now, but you can't actually use the GT-2 as an amp substitute/headphone amp can you?  Don't you have to run it through an amp (or "something")?

Nope, it has cab sims and gives ready to use fullrange tones.

I was thinking from the point of view of using the GT-2 as a standalone practice/headphone amp.

Isn't it designed to go into - maybe not an amp - but a mixer, perhaps even a hi-fi?  I thought the output level wasn't really high enough to work with headphones?

(Sorry for asking the same question twice)

Ops, you're right. I was thinking to go to the mixer indeed (run all my FRFR units through the mixer for headphones anyways). That might bea bummer for the OP.

Thank you, I am pretty sure I will need some help along the way.

If you have any Mark IV, Uber, Recto and Cornford patches I would appreciate that.

I have just ordered myself a cable so I can connect up to my pc

I hope it will do the job.

I'll post you my FRFR metal patches later. My Favs are in fact Recto Red and the Ueber. Everytime I play with the VH4 I really like it, but I didn't yet manage to create a patch with it that sits well in the mix.

congrats on the axe fx. i do recomend you get some new headphones though. im using some grado sr-80s which are great worth looking at i think (depending on your budget). for the kind of stuff you want to do with them i think open back headphones would be better...
