Fender Rumble Studio 40 for recording

Your Studio 40 is its own audio interface, and it works great for home recording by just plugging in the USB. Fender doesn't give a lot of guidance in the old manual for how this works, but start by plugging into your computer, and the rest is pretty straightforward.
 
I´ve been recording using the USB out directly to an Android tablet using the BandLab App. No need to install any driver.
I have attached a sample audio file I recorded just to demonstrate. The USB gain was set to 10 dB and I’ve used a jazz bass. Mixing audio tracks is also possible and you can listen to the backup tracks along while recording.
 
Sorry to hijack a thread, but saves me starting another with the exact same title.

Can anyone comment on the quality of the amp modelling within the Studio 40?

I'm not looking for a practise amp. I'm looking to upgrade from my POD HD, specifically wanting high quality SVT modelling that I can use to record. USB recording is an option, but I would have outboard I would prefer to patch through. I would record exclusively via DI.

If the Rumble is an upgrade to the modelling algorithms within the POD HD, i'll definitely give it a look.
