Guys,
You may or may not be aware that Line6 put out a product called the "BackTrack" a year or two ago. They have dropped the street price to only $29.99!

The box is a very small little flash recorder with guitar input and output. It records everything you play at 24-bit 44.1kHz. You place it between your guitar and your amp. As you're playing and you come up with something good you press the MARK button. Then you put it in PLAY mode and it will loop what you just played. Which of course sounds like you're still playing through the amp!
The truly IMPORTANT use of this for me is while the recorder is playing back through my amp, I can make changes to the settings on my amp and move the mic around the speaker to capture the best sound for my REAL recording rig! As most of us are doing all of our recording by ourselves, this is a BIG help.
Same thing for live performance! When all of the band members aren't there for sound check, I can just play back a file I've recorded of them playing through their amp on stage. Then the sound guy can get the proper levels. I can do it for bass and acoustic too!
For $29 this is just too cool of a tool not to buy.
