Decisions, decisions....

So I need some help. In my own recordings I'd like a really in your face guitar sound. The deal is, I'm using a Mbox 2 Mini. My questing is, are the Mbox minis pre amps weak enough where you get a lesser guitar tone then you would with another piece of equipment? If so, (which It probably is) what do you think I should do? Save for a Mbox 2 pro? Sell LE and go for another DAW? I'm just try to get the best sounding records I can produce. Any suggestions would be great.

-Thanks

P.S If anyone needs to hear a clip of what I've been doing with the mbox, just let me know and I'll get some clips up.

The mbox mini is completely capable of recording killer guitar tones... if you're having trouble getting good tone, chances are that its your lacking ability over the inferiority of the hardware...

While a API preamp is going to offer an improvement, chances are it's not the mbox preamps holding you back dude. Source quality and mic choice & positioning are like 90% of your recorded guitar tone.
