thanks, I like your drawing skills ;)

I've a little amp for my guitar, also with a phone input option... can I 
use the art tube mp also for that one, guitar (input) and phone? The 
preamp will make the sound maybe better, or doesn't make that sense?

And my guitar amp has not an master channel... can I use the art tube 
mp, to use for example rakkarack with my amp?
