I am completely and totally beside myself.  

1st off, I have decided that I need a floorboard for the guitar.  Its a combo of latency, and cpu ( that I am running out of ), and I'm still not happy with these native amp sims.

What I can not, for the life me figure out, is why these floor boards, many of which are also audio interfaces, do not allow you to use them as VST and allow for re-amping.

Why would that have been so difficult to engineer?   I think its total crap btw!!!   I would by a GT100, and spend the $ if I knew I was getting the functionality of, "also a vst."  But for the hassle of it all, I might as well just go with a G5.  Because I solve my cpu and latency problem.

I will probably still be unhappy in terms of, "amp sim."

How about splitting the guitar signal before the fx unit, and sending one feed to your interface? Record that dry guitar sound at the same time as you record the outputs of the fx unit (won't be able to use the built-in USB on the fx unit though...).

Then if you need to change anything send the dry guitar track back through the fx unit (as an external hardware send - in effect re-amping it) then back into Sonar.

That's an interesting solution..  To say the least.
