Hi Bobby, helping out young musicians (or old ones
) is much more important than visiting any forum! I don't know exactly how the effects processors in the G work, but I do know it is in real time and in my honest opinion they work quite well. That said, I do believe that recording as close to what you want as possible is always better, as the G probable is the culprit in any signal chain. Besides, there can or cannot be a logical explanation why one of the two options is better... experiment and experience always beat theory. That's why it's nice and useful to read other peoples experiences.
