Hey everyone,

I know it sounds a little ridiculous but...

Does anybody know of a good external fx unit that can be controlled by USB, has 2*jack in and 2*jack out (say, for running a virus patch into the processor and rerouting it into the ext in ports in a multi setup), and is, erm, cheap?

I know, I know, it's kind of a stupid question, maybe a little over specific, like asking for a place that makes pizzas with marshmellows that are crispy but not TOO overcooked (ninja turtles reference)... I mean, I don't think I've ever even seen a USB controllable fx unit. But it'd be a dead handy way of controlling an fx box for a pc setup that has a midi daisy chain choking under a burden of sys ex, a supposedly near-top-notch 3ghz ht p4 processor maxed out by badly programmed vst plugins and a cheapass steinberg MI4 audio breakout box with only 4 lousy inputs... specific eh?

I don't know, I know I should probably accept failings of aforementioned setup and by a better audio interface, but my MI4 looks cool, is german (so matches virus) and has to be connected to my pc no matter what coz it acts as the friggin' copy protect dongle to my copy of cubase sl2.0. So, fx units?

cheers, t.
