Line 6 GearBox Silver Bundle with Toneport D.I. USB Recording Interface Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In XP, this thing was great. I upgraded to Vista, and now the outputs have an unacceptable pop and crackle. The Line6 forums are all abuzz about this problem, and there is no solution yet.
I heartily apologize. There was no solution at Line6, but I eventually ran across a fix. Unsurprisingly, Vista is to blame, specifically the power profiles on Vista. The fault lay in the processor power-state transitions. This works ok on Vista on a laptop if you select the "Always On" power state. (Actually, there's an occasional pop even then; if you disable power state transitions in your BIOS, I think you can get rid of them.)
My apologies, and I revise my rating to four stars.

Line 6 Guitar Port XT USB Guitar Interface Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the Guitar Port XT to try to eliminate a lot of the pedals I have in my set up while also getting a few more effects that I do not have. That was kind of a hit and miss affair. The effects built in are good. They are also highly tweekable so you can get just about any sound you want. You can't change effects on the fly, so you'd still need rack effects to accomplish that. But, for most of my purposes, I just need a distortion or overdrive attached after the line out along with a wah, envelope filer, and maybe a flanger (since there isn't one in the software).
As far as the software is concerned, it's OK but not wonderful. It's a bit of a chore to set up your own sound and even to find a preset. The former should be a chore, but the latter is a bit of a disappointment. It needs more settings available from the downloads, maybe even setting downloadable from a community blog. There may be one, but I don't know about it. I've been cheating and I've been going to Boss's website to look up other effect settings, though a lot of the effect settings there are similar to the ones in the software.
Bottom line is that it's worth the $100. If you can drag a computer to your gig and don't change effects much, this will do an admirable job. It's an interesting an fun tool if not a little limited.

Line 6 POD Studio UX2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)there's no telling how much cash i've spent over the years looking to create a simple home recording setup. i'm a musician, not an engineer, not a computer geek either. in other words, i needed something that would be easy and sound awesome. line 6 POD studio UX2 is it. it's a box that sits on your desk, comes with ONE CORD and four different programs. that's it. without even installing any of the programs, my PC (running vista) and my mac both saw the UX2 and i was able to use it with my existing recording programs like acid and garage band. BUT once installing the software it came with, it became hours of childlike euphoria. "POD farm" has hundreds of cool effects for the guitar that you can play in REAL TIME, and record directly to acid with (also worked with audacity, a free program). another disk, "riff works", lets you play along with surprisingly great-sounding drum tracks, record layered guitar parts and construct a song (also lets you export as wav file when you're done). the other two disks, "abelton live lite" and "reason adapted" are basic versions of very expensive popular recording programs, so if you want to get a taste of how they work, they are also included. but what i was looking for above all else was SOUND QUALITY, and this box delivers many times over. completely satisfied.

Line 6 POD Studio GX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good unit. But it is the same as the Gx that has red on the front with is the older model. The hardware is the same this just has updated software podfarm. The rub is podfarm is a free download from the line 6 site. and the older version is $49 not $99. So search the net and see if you can find the older version. It's the same hardware and download the software for free from the line 6 site. And save your self $50.
Hardware wise it's great it's great and works perfect with All the amplitube products and Guitar Rig 3. I have them installed and use them and it works fine with no latency.
on quirky think is you have to plug a cord form the unit's headphone out to your laptop or computer mic input to get speakers to get sound and i've only figured out that way of using external speakers. i've yet to figure out how to just use the actual speakers that are attached to my laptop instead which would be cool.
