I recently discovered "Guitar 2 Midi" (standalone or vst) works much better than any of the hex pickups (fishman, roland, etc) I've used before, and I can use it on any stock guitar without having to mount an ugly hex pickup! Just plug a laptop via USB into your FX III, drop the Guitar to 2 Midi into your favorite DAW (with the FX III set as your audio interface), and use your soft synths (Omnisphere!!!). Yes, your current rig + laptop can give you full midi guitar synth capabilities.
Use input 5 for the DI, and return out 7/8. In your Axe FX III preset, use the "In USB" block to return the signal. This will allow you to mix or switch between your Axe preset sound and what ever synth sound you are using.
On my system (Win 10 laptop using Reaper), 256 samples (buffer) is as low as I can go without audio issues. This gives about 8 ms latency for the total system. Not ideal, but workable. Hopefully with some tweaking I can get drop it to 128 samples and around 4 ms latency. Anyone else tried this?
