I am about to purchase the M20D at the $599 price point. The only thing holding me back is the limited PC to M20D digital to analog playback. I want to run a click track and backing tracks from PC/Mac but the M20D seems to only have 2 channels on USB for that? Any thoughts or experience with simultaneous backing track playback and recording with the M20D?

The challenge here is that when you adjust for the volume you would have to save to an available user bank patch. There are only 3 User banks or 12 patch locations which is NOT a lot. There are 7 PERFORMANCE banks that are supposed to be directly playable on "Ready to Rock Mode" but the volumes between rhythm and clean tones are so far apart. Solo tone volumes are also so high that you cannot just step on the patch switch and immediately play. You would have to either play with the volume pedal or your guitar volume knob to hit the right volume level/amount from the previous patch of the same bank. Can Line6 techs at least evaluate the volume for Performance bank patches. If the volumes can be normalized/equalized for "Ready to Rock" performance mode, we can free up the user banks for real user configured tones.
