Honestly, Garageband has you covered with virtual amps and pedals. There is a massive selection that are all totally adjustable and customisable. It is the best substitute to actually having a band to play with. Setup some drums, lay down bass and rhythm then just solo like an asshole for hours. GB never gets bored or drops a beat. For the price of the interface its an amazing piece of software. Plus you can spend and extra $5 and get extra virtual drummers or more loops or whatever. I've been using music making software since the Amiga 2000 and GB is hands down the best IMO. Sure Pro Tools might be industry standard, pro level, but it simply doesn't do half of what GB does for free. Its actually the main reason I still use a mac as a work station.
EDIT: This is what I have - its plug and play, little bit of fiddling to get multitrack to work

A mate I collaborate with in Sydney has one of these - its pretty much idiot proof

And here is a track I whipped up in it. 15-20mins work largely improvised, its great as you can loop back over sections and do a bunch of takes until you are happy.
