How can I record my guitar with the T.BONE USB-1G?

[teza]

Hi,
I'm using a usb soundcard, a Fast track, in wich you plug you guitar to 
record in Ardour. Works just fine.

You won't see you usb card or plug in jack, but you have to connect the 
out connection port, to the in connection port to the soft you're using.

regards
Teza.
