Between:
Between a jack for instrument (guitar at best) faade
Between a micro faade
Rear line 2 IN
1 IN Stereo Rear

Output:
headphone faade
2 Analog Out Rear

2 knob:
1 for the level of
1 for the output level.

All input / output jacks are 3.5.
The case does not PSE more than 400 g, it is the size of a small multi-purpose, one-piece plastic, care should be taken not to put his pack of beer on it too long.

Level connections, it&#39;s ultra intuitive.

I use a Dell Latitude D620 (CPU 2 GHz, 1 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD, XP Home Edition SP2), an Ibanez RG270, a ESP LTD MH400 and Cubase LE.
Micro level: I use a PG48.

The UX1 comes with Ableton Live 6 (Light version).

Most:
Easy connections
Design fun (even if we do not care royally)

The -:
Line 6 could have provided one or two jack adapters, they would have not cost more
T have FireWire version apprciable (and apprcie)
It would be cool to be able t use the wheel mouse for example increase the volume knobs to select an effect or navigate menus

UTILIZATION

The topic for the (s?) Toneport.

First:
Whoever says there is not Russia not his. The case comes with two CDs, on which it is written in bold characters in size 48 "INSTALL THIS FIRST BEFORE CONNECTING YOUR [...] HARDWARE" on the first and "" INSTALL THIS [... ] AFTER "... Line6 could hardly do better ...
Those who say that APRS has nr not work, because they have any branch can only APRS rflchir they went and read the manual, the people have that even blame them ...

Deuxio:
APRS installation, thought to date drivers and software ...

Good once everything is installed you can launch GearBox, a small interface to model his sound ...
The interface is as clear as if you had the stuff to you, knob, pedals, amp, cabinet, and while there are no worries RULES.
It is even indicate what the effect of a particular effect on rglage said.

There are roughly thirty merdo rglages "factories" but it is quite possible to save his own configurations, with a TAG INTERESTED Systm (by style, by type of effect, etc. .. .)

Finally, some interesting gadgets:
The possibility of prcharger SETTING THE guitarists "known" through the portal Line6.
Prsence a tuner.
Prsence a "Player" which allows for the loop, and acts to mitigate the sound of the guitars (or at least their frquences)
Pace box and not configurable dgueu

Line6 is available "Packs" allowing the agrmenter bte with new sounds ... The prices are quite exorbitant (a third of the bundle of UX1, it is not top issue proportions Line 6) ...

Most:
Ease of handling
Gearbox Interface enjoyable, not at all "gas factory", intuitive
The -:
The installation for those who are really not friends with the niceties of USB peripherals
Too bad updates from drivers / software are not automatically
The price of the add-ons

GETTING STARTED

Latency level, personal, I do not perois so I think it&#39;s good to this point of view

The sound is of good quality trs with all the subjective implications.
There are modlisations clbres amp (Mesa, Fender Tweed, Marshall JCM, Orange, etc.), on which modlisations Line6 has built its empire and reputable.
There are also modlisations effects (Rat, TS, Octave, etc.). Some will find them in bad quality and there prfreront the classic pedals.
Care must be taken not to plug the beast of a non self-powered hub and it will leave him almost intgralit resources pc (so exit to the encoding of video at the same time, or software a little greedy).

Personally, it happens that his "crack" a little, but that does not include registration.

Most:
Near-zero latency
The Line6 modlisations if you like

The -:
Obviously the configuration is advising underestimate the manufacturer
The Line6 modlisations if you do not like

OVERALL OPINION

I possde n&#39;tant for some months and not a fan of Line6 modlisations I&#39;ll sell it ...
It is obvious that the price for the UX1 is excellent but a little light for the big ambitious home studio.

The UX1 is excellent, certainly, but he&#39;ll have to find its own sound, settings, make his small kitchen.
The handling is quick, easy and intuitive for the guitarist.
The UX1 seems perfect to record some songs composed or trs with an honorable quality.
Finally, the interface / GearBox software offers full small gadget with which one can have fun for a while.

We regret that the installation is sometimes laborious and requires some prcautions.

The possibilities are almost unlimited, therefore, for a very reasonable budget.
If you want to ttonner in the home studio, here is a small safe peripherals except modlisations: we like it or not.
