Good but really basic

Good for jamming with your pc in a casual situation. I would not buy it everyday use or recording

Very good features for the price

It's not a PRO interface, of course, but when I bought it I wanted a very cheap and portable option for a guitar interface, mainly because since I had a laptop with PodFarm I didn't want to spend in a guitar amp.

It's actually almost perfect for that task!

Pretty good value for the money. Latency is decent, although it doesn't want to go below a certain latency (sound drops completely). But I guess it might be I need more power in the laptop. The drivers could probably be updated a bit, as they might be the biggest bottleneck, rather than the hardware itself. Very good that you can switch between HI and Low Gain.

An incredible value portable interface

I bought this as a cheap on-the-road alternative for my RME Babyface, since I do a lot of traveling for my job. This unit is very light and portable, and seems robust enough to withstand normal use, though I wouldn't throw it around too much. The features are just right, everything you need to record guitar/bass or just play it over your PC. The sound quality is great (though direct guitar signal is not really a very demanding source), and the latency can be brought down to very usable levels with ASIO drivers.

Another thing I like about it is that the D/A converters and headphone amp on it is much, much superior to the ones built in on my laptop, so I also use it a lot to listen to music over my headphones, and in a pinch even for some mixing.

I would highly recommend this product for any guitarist/basist wanting to do some basic instrument recording (in my opinion a very helpful tool for practicing), and for anyone who, like me, needs a cheap, simple and very portable audio interface.
