SO long story short, found reaper while building up for a PT rig. It got really expensive and very involved very quickly. Headaches abounded. Then saw a small bit on Reaper. WOW so glad, and can't wait to get everything the way I want/need/like it. Spent a bit of time here, reading and getting reaper installed and (I think) working fairly well.
I'm definitely going to need to have some method via plug ins or external equip to allow quality guitar and bass tracks.
I would like to take any and all suggestions based on experience of other "Reapers".
Guitar Rig and Bias were the first two I began to look into. Bias seems to have it's issues with noise (?) and Guitar rig is a contender.
This new iRig Stompbox really caught my eye tonight. Y'all can check it out here if you like...

So please help out a fledgling user and share any and all advice and experience with what works for you as far as guitar tones and effects that are usable within Reaper, or as the item I mentioned above through USB.
I'm sure I'll be posting more questions and asking advice, soaking up all the knowledge I see here.
Peace and Good Happiness stuff...
