I'm actually using a rather simple "recording-rig", if I'm allowed to call it that. The signal-chain pretty much just looks like this:

Fender Mustang II v.2 Amplifier -> Mini-USB-to-USB cable -> Fender Universal ASIO Driver -> Ableton Live 8 Lite Fender Edition

That's it. I use nothing else in my recording-rig (aside from the obvious guitars and pedals, but they're not part of the recording-chain). The Inputs are, by default, set to 1/2 (Stereo), 1 (Mono) and 2 (Mono), and I haven't really touched that. The Outputs are set to the same, and again, I haven't touched that (maybe I should try using Channel 1 for Input and Channel 2 for Output... Sure, I'd be recording in Mono, but maybe then I'd be able to hear the changes in MIDI-tracks as I go... Not sure about that, but it might fix one problem I'm facing...).

I think the program says there's a latency of about 30ms. That really shouldn't be enough to warrant a 16th-note latency on my playing. It could, of course, be that I just don't come in right on the beat. If that's the case, recording stuff and moving the guitar-tracks a 16th-note forward would solve the issue until my timing improves.
