To recognize the USB device in windows before installing any drivers and Roll (gutar link lights (blue LED) and is functional in just 5 minutes

Not at this time
- The general configuration is easy?
I got so yes
- The manual is clear and sufficient?
Manual included but there are minimal in PDF everything you need in the various directories on the CD, details of which configuration to use the guitar link with Kristal, Audacity and Guitar CCombo. I read them after installation and the first trial (that is not how everyone does) If a concern, I think everything is there to get by

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable? YES
- Are they often updated? Not needed
- What software do you use most often? Guitar Combo + Guitar Rig demo for now
- What you get lag? is my unknown, it shows 40 ms but I do not actually receive any but compared to my guitar without using link (direct or sound card apparently get 12 ms but where the sound is distant and uncertain ... I get along well so I'm not the head with it
- How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...
not concerned

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it? 2 days
- What is so special that you like most and least? Very simple, plug'n'play.
I liked more details on the possibilities of connection to listen (outside of the headphone)
- Have you tried many other models before buying it? not
- How would you rate the quality / price? excellent, the interface comes with a version of guitar combo to choose from for a price lower than the same guitar combo (59 euros a link with guitar guitar combo against 69 euros I think for a guitar combo)
- With experience, you do again this choice?
For starters, I am the perfect tool so yes
