I don't wire my guitar or bass directly into my Roland external USB sound 
thingy, though I probably could.  I run them through one of a couple cheap 
DSP amp simulators I have, I think made by Boss.  I was previously using a 
direct box or just plugging in and always ran into one problem or another.  
Noise, ground hum, bad levels, whatever.  It may be that the Roland thingy 
would eliminate those problems (previously I was also going straight into a 
PC sound card) but I guess I've gotten used to the imaginary amp thing.

I would say I'm more of a keyboardist who uses guitars for effect than an 
actual guitarist though, so maybe there are downsides I haven't thought of.
