I can’t believe I haven’t don’t something about this yet, but now that it’s only $299, I would highly suggest looking into it.  I have a kidney shaped Line 6 PODxt that I have bought additional modeling packs for and love to death.  It’s extremely versatile and the only thing it’s really missing is a recording interface.  Now there is the Toneport UX-8 with 8 mic pre-amps, 2 guitar/bass inputs, 8 line inputs unbalanced, 8 line outputs balanced, and two 1/4″ headphone outputs.  Comes with all of the PODxt amps, cabs and now includes vocal modeling tools as well to get great professional quality vocal tone.  Line 6 builds quality stuff, I would highly recommend!
