Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Overall it is pretty impressive for a low budget studio. Here's some pros and cons:Pros
- comes with PodFarm software (big variety of effects and amp models)
- comes with RiffWorks (drum machine and recorder)
- comes with some other software too ;)
- lets you get idea of how a wide variety of effects sounds
Cons
- can be a little tricky to set up and register
- tech support is a little weak (they incorrectly say it replaces your soundcard)
- the quality of the effects is about an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 (clean sounds are great, but distortions and delays sound cheap)
Notes: it may replace your sound card, but only if you set it up that way. I think it's bad for the tech support people to use that phrase, because it does NOT have to replace it. For example, on my BGears Enspirer (the setup was a bit tricky) but you actually can hear sound from computer speakers and the signal out at the same time. In fact, thats how you use RiffWorks! I just think their tech support forum is geared towards the most common hardware, but it's wrong to claim "the UX1 replaces your sound card".
Also, about the effects, any of the clean effects sound pretty good. But with any heavy distortion it gets muddy and just doesn't sound quite like a Marshall. ;) And with the digital delay effects, they are pretty cheap really, eventhough they look fancy. It's easy to muddy them up when you mix much in. Even on a high end PC, I give the clean effects a 9 out of 10. The distortion is about a 7/10, and delay is about 6/10. Overall it's pretty fun though (esp for the price!), but it just not sound the same as high end stuff. ;)
