This will keep me from having to purcahse a new portable stereo system to use as monitor playback, since my current stereo doesn't have a RCA inputs. However, someone told me the other day that I need to find out if the US 428 (or possibly the Mac?) will be able to amplify to the speakers. I don't know the answer. I am also open to other possible set up configurations since I haven't bougt anything yet.

I will print up your reply and bring it to the music store. Also, you are saying that that great Fender tone comes from the preamp right? (good to know) Also, I have both an 80 volt and 120 volt (or watt..I'm not an electrician) channel so when I record I can keep the power output down for less feedback and hum when I am recording. I am going to go on Fender's site and read about the fX loop capabilities. Keep the knowledge coming!
