Beaaxe « PERFECT! »
Published on 05/11/13 at 15:40My choice was based on a semi-pro or pro enregsitrement desire for a ridiculously low price and ease of use.
I use it with studio monitors and I can say that the simulation of a real amp is breathtaking. I also use a Jackson RR3 with Seymour Duncan.
The coupled Podfarm software works with zero latency on my old Compaq presario CQ-61.
UTILIZATION
It is very easy to use. It installs Podfarm which provides access to many guitar amps, bass, effects pedals, compressor, EQ, reverb, speakers etc., are installed with line6 monkey that summarizes what you have installed and if an update is available and line6 license manager that allows you to check the compliance of your device and install additional packages without doing anything! Everything is done automatically!
Level latency here I am 190ms. It is huge but it is possible that my pc is not powerful enough. This does not affect the sound however.
The sound card itself has two instrument inputs 6.35, two mic inputs with phantom power, a USB port and outputs 6.35. Presets in Podfarm are also great for guitar and bass for voice. Reverb and other effects are there to give a voice perfect for recording sound. You can record a voice and an instrument not simultaneously but not both instruments. Too bad I say.
GETTING STARTED
Installation, as I said, very simple. Everything is guided with line 6 monkey and line 6 license manager. You just have to let yourself be guided without any difficulty.
The documentation is clear
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year I would say. I used to think about buying a sound card to get a cleaner for my enresitrements sound. I came across this one and I must say that I am still under the spell.
I recently bought a new pack with other amp models. I just needed to get my credit card code and launch line 6 license manager to accept the installation of the new package. In two seconds it was done.
The value for money is immbattable. Line 6 are really the kings of the amp simulation.
