I have one of Fender's Mustang amps, and one feature I really love is that it has a built in audio interface. It sits on my desk and is constantly plugged in to my machine, so if I'm ever noodling and want to start recording in GarageBand I can have a track going in like 30 seconds.

It's really nice to have an interface that doesn't require me to try to route audio through my computer. It just works exactly like a (slightly complicated) regular amp all the time, and behaves exactly the same while recording as it does when it's not.

It's got all kinds of built in amp sims and effects, but I play it on the same setting about 95% of the time (I've never been much for tone chasing). But it also has a built in looper, which I use all the time.

I really love the thing, great piece of hardware. It's got some warts but nothing I can't work around.
