Here are the photos I promised. Regarding my vsts, the only windows vsts I'm currently using are NI's B4 and GuitarRig. However, since I just discovered two native linux guitar rack processors, I may drop GR entirely. However, giving up the B4 would be difficult.
The Windows VSTs can work directly within Qtractor, or patched via jack using either FST or DSSI-VST. Either works well, but which ever you prefer. If I have a complex project, I generally load them directly into qtractor, as it gets confusing to manually reconnect all this stuff on a larger project (LASH might be of some help here eventually). Of course with Hydrogen, you have to use Jack, as I do not know any other way to patch it in.
Now for the pics. Please excuse my messy work area. I've not had much time to tiddy it up lately.
Photo 1 (EDIT: I mislabeled the amp, and it's actually 6x100 watts, not 5x100) It was custom built by a friend of mine a few years ago. It's also bridgeable to 2x300, but I see no reason to ever do that. Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4
