I have a guitar with a built in pre amp that Ive loved lately.

I want to plug this into Bias FX 2, or really any modeling software.

it sounds like shit because Im going from the built into pre amp out the quarter inch to the modeling software

do you think screwing around with an EQ or something as the first pedal in a chain could help fix this? Do you have any suggestions other than using my normal guitar without a built in pre amp?

I have a Roland Cube 80x and a bunch of Ibanez guitars, but none of those issues. Try getting a Cube 80x, or an Ibanez RG or Prestige.

Any time Ive had Boss pedals hooked-up, Ive plugged the guitar into them, and then them into the amp.

Are you sure you're not piquing the hell out of the signal? Do you have an audio interface for hooking the guitar up to the PC? Without one, the PC probably isn't going to be able to handle it well.

Im using an iRig and an iPad with a Traveller guitar, their newest EG. It sounded like crap through my POD HD500 also and sounds meh through my THR5 But not awful. Im going on vacation and may bring it to try through my peavey bandit at my parents since you can bypass the amp and plug straight into the cabinet section. Theres a headphone jack on the guitar and it sounds great through that at least.

It really could just be piquing, thinking about it. Know a solution that could work with this guitar? Maybe a volume pedal, or am I thinking about this wrong?

Modeling has gotten really good recently...and even a 1 watt tube is too loud for an apartment. I have a THR5 I like when I want to use a real amp.

I can use my normal guitar and get a setup that sounds great.

Nothing sounds quite as good as the ol' fashioned way. Make sure nothing's grounded either so you get that authentic annoying HUMMMMMMM when you're not actively playing or when you face the amp. While we're at it be sure to keep your snare drums' snares tight when recording your bass tracks too!

I own one of these little guys because I too live below another family:

They have a lot of pop for their size.
