Laptop as guitar rig

  • Existing Windows laptop running Reaper and VST plugins
  • Cheap USB digital audio interface with MIDI
  • FCB1010 MIDI controller
  • 10 or 12" PA speakers like the Alto TSA210
Can probably get all this for like $500 (not including the laptop which people already have).  Pretty amazing.


I agree it’s getting more viable but I essentially gave up modeling and sending to a FRFR system in a live situation. Theoretically it should be great. I would get tones that sounded splendid in headphones and low volumes but when I got to the point where I had to compete with a band - it always sounded off and was difficult to hear. I started with one Alto 212, went stereo with 2, then went to Atomic CLRs. With Atomic I could cut through but kept getting comments that I sounded funny in several different bands from people who largely thought I was playing through an amp. I’ve gone back to a tube amp and pedals.
