Thoughts on External Soundcards

[The Ulnarian]

WIll they significantly improve my sound if my previous setup involved running my Digitech RP100 fx processor directly into my computers internal soundcard via the computers 1/4" microphone jack?

Hi Ulnarian;
Short answer is yes.
why is because you said your stock PCz internal sound, and they are low quality.

If you have a laptop then you might want to go with a
