Just what the title says.

I got mine a bit early this year because I've been such a good boy.




This is a hardware/firmware-based amp/effects modeler for guitar, and has a USB connection and editing software for Mac OS X. Plugs right into my Powerbook and works with GarageBand. I have to remember to be good more often.

I want one of those. I bought their "GuitarPort" USB device to use on my Windows music making machine (which runs software like ACID, Sonar, and Fruity Loops that don't have OS X versions). It was annoying because it required you to use an analog audio cable to route sound, but the tones were really fantastic. They also kept saying that support for OS X was being looked at, but it never happened. Then when the XT came out afterwards, I've longed for one ever since. With full OS X support, no need for the analog computer cable, and support for regular guitar cables had me sold on the idea. Unfortunately the price tag has kept me at bay for now. But congrats!

Thanks. GuitarPort is still not available for OS X, but Line 6 Edit and Monkey are. They are still supposedly considering porting GuitarPort, and there are quite a few people on their forums who are Mac users, so hopefully it'll happen. In the meantime, the edit software works well and seems very stable.

They had a price drop recently, too. I think you can find them for around $299 now.

I don't really have anything in mind that I want for Christmas.

Hey, no problem. You're a little too senior for my search picture. So, I guess we can continue it here.

I decided to go light this year. Not much I really needed. I could pay for most of what I wanted. But the thing I want the most is this poster I found:


It's an old WWII era poster that I saw in my History teacher's room a year ago. I picked out the framing and everything. I've wanted this for awhile.
Should go great with my Gadsden flag hanging from my wall.

I'm hoping to get the Sharp Actius MM20 I asked for.
