Well, I love this thing, but I do not find very interesting to Gnrale way to say that everyone is not stupid and we made a wise choice in paying a testicle that is not in dfinitive, a card with some components and a lovely bote around. So I'll murder the product, no, just kidding, but ...
When one reads the global characteristics are believed to have the ultimate weapon case of guitarist, versatile tool dream: multi-effects, sound card, prampli his usb2 card. This is partly true. partly ...

USE

The departure of driver I had was bugg agaants recording clicks on computer. The update has considerably amlior things but it happens time before I m'nerve after the sav Digidesign is haughty and inefficient in France.
Latency is poor compared ddie a sound card, one is forced to use pro tools or lose a lot of functionalities, between the microphone is of good quality but nothing is pr seen to fully exploit both singing that cab back (all the same they could integrate a small strip chanel dsp, gender compression, qua, reverb). The display screen is not very legible on stage, it is small and not enough contrast it could also leave the choice of color. The menu navigation is more intuitive. the buttons are what is increasingly fragile and the roadies refuse to embark without closed rack.
Fortunately the quality of the sound is excellent, as well as the effects simulations. the effects are really very good and if you add your own pedals in the loop is nice (not, in fact, kill his mother).
Blackstar head on with a combo Orange I blues sounds and hard crdibles for the Mtal feasible for cleans it is better to do without.
The reverbs are not at the top but quite well chosen to do a lot of things, it is far from a 96 cfm add that I prefer in the rack all the same.

SOUND QUALITY

Install long enough for pro tools is necessary. I CONSIDERED this as an unnecessary burden and annoys me. This is a Manire make the captive customer of a system. No VST to pilot the craft so.
Moreover, the Asio driver is very limited (Asio 4all is more stable). latency is 12ms bug (Vista 32-bit), I can not remove the direct monitoring and when I save I both sound and recorded between that of is le.
In pro tools is the ball. The configuration of sets is the Manire a Guitar Rig, it lacks a mixer for ddie among outlets in the rack and routing to enjoy some effects for singing.

In use live is Great, he ame to an effects loop to paste your pedals with rglages of appropriate levels. With a good crankset control is performed miracles, too bad there is no built-multi sampler.

NOTICE GLOBAL

The quality of sound and simulations greatly improves the automatic management of system level (pompously call Ziiii true!).

Home studio is more convincing than all the software of the market that said, was unable ankle a micro base before a chti amp on a basic cab but everyone has how to shake the walls of his closet or let hang cables and gear everywhere.

On stage it's really nice and convenient but fragile and unmanageable without a good command crankset that much mastery. I tried for a pro boyfriend, piloting twelve o'clock 8 via control pedals, it's a daunting experience, I Flipp two hours the idea that plant in my configs and have 136 db clicks in the room. After a while we rpet o cal is built-in the running, it's deadly. They call me to set up the same set. I can not afford to have a home to toy, damage.

In the end I would say that I was expecting to have a great sound card, I prfr buy a sound card ddie, I have a real esprais between micro, j 'finally uses DBX, I esprais more toffes reverbs, I add my PCM 96. The final addition is about 3000 but I'm happy all the same.

If you merely pro tools, if your girlfriend refuses to see your stack clutter the room, if you make the scene but you do not mind investing in a solid rack and control crankset, this stuff modestly the best of all that is available now (that's my opinion and it is not modest because I'm not modest, in fact I dteste the given name). Of course, as all that is low on software and electronics today the next year it will be a crap without a name.
