Hello Hermann,

What is actually the difference between guitarix and gx_head? Or is 
gx_head basically Guitarix 0.12 ? And can't thank you enough for 
guitarix/gx_head, all I need is to plug in my guitar into my soundcard, 
fire up guitarix/gx_head and off I go. No more Line6 Pod (it's gathering 
dust here), no more NI Guitar Rig (I can get better sounds from 
guitarix, have to admit though haven't used Guitar Rig in like 2 years) 
just pure tone :)

Best,

Jeremy
