PreSonus Studio 24c - "Easy to use, install and with excellent sound/dependability & $1000 worth of software"
Well, I was using the Stealth Pedal (IK Multimedia) as an interface, and then it no longer was supported. Then I turned to the Line 6 Tone Port UX8, and although those drivers worked (in Windows 10),…

reFX Nexus 2 - "Sounds good, but..."
Used it for several tracks. It definitely sounds good, but if you're a sound designer, sadly it's not a tool for you. I had occasional CPU spikes. Maybe that was because of my laptop. Anyways, I love…
nUX Fireman (NDS-5) - "Amp-Like Distortion with Dual Channels"
