I am fairly new to using amp simulators for guitars, I was trying to figure out the best setup I could have for practicing at home and for jamming sessions. I will list down my requirements of the setup in order.

1. I am able to get out good sound at both lower volumes for home practice and high enough to hold it's own while playing with a drummer
2. The sound through the speakers are not distorted by any of the setup
3. Low latency

Based on the requirements and a little looking around the net , I was contemplating the following setup.

1. Guitar to an audio interface like focusrite 2i2 or Behringer UM2
2. The audio interface through the usb into the ipad/pc
3. The audio interface through rca cables to a studio monitor like epronus 4.5

Can the above be a upgrade over my current setup of plugging in an aux cable from my ipad to an amplifier on clean channel ? Will the difference in sound be worth it to invest the extra money into all the equipments ?
