Behringer UCG102 5-stars Reviews

Great value for the price

I had some doubts because so many people reported issues with usage with Windows 10. I founded no issues whatsoever. It runs right out of the box, plug and play. All I had to do is to install newest ASIO4all driver from the official manufacturer's page. Currently in beta but working fine. It's easy to connect to you favorite DAW software like Reaper and to record or monitor from multiple devices. For example I use PC USB headset not output on the device itself and it's great. No latency no nothing. You can set up as many of the output devices as you wish in ASIO, you just need to open advanced settings.

Product is made of plastic but it feels very sturdy. For home usage and hobby players, more than sufficient in my opinion.

There is only one thing that bothers me and that's the background noise from the device. You can hear humming/hissing noise all the time. This is easily fixed in the amp simulation or DAW software by applying noise reduction or noise gate effect at the start of the signal chain.

All in all, I'm more than happy with the purchase and can recommend the product to all amateur, hobby players for home usage.

More than satisfactory

Always in the pocket, it is the simplest solution and not least efficient to always have the possibility of using audio software.

I would never part with it

Brilliant peice of kit

After months and months of struggling using a microphone or a rocksmith cable I decided to try this behringer to record my guitars on my pc. I have to say for the price I was quite doubtful as to the quality and upon opening the box and feeling the cheap plasticy feel of it I wasn't further disheartened.

This soon dissipated after installation was complete. I ran the demo of one of the guitar amp packages and was instantly blown away. The preset was on English Punk and boy it was perfect.

I read one review saying how somebody struggled fitting their headphones and guitar lead in at the same time, I can see that this could be an issue for those with the larger jacks but luckily mine are quite small and fitting with room to spare.

My only downside was I bought this hoping it would be able to record a bass guitar but it really, really can't. All that comes out is squeaks, buzz and hum in varying displeasing levels. Even after 10 minutes of fiddling with every setting you can think of still no joy.

All in all an absolute great piece of kit but don't get it if you want to record your bass guitar.

Behringer UCG102

The UCG102 connects a guitar to a computer, PC or Mac (or an iPad) turning it into an amp and recording studio. Its fairly sturdy and you cannot you guitar straight into it with its regular jack (1/4") as well headphones, with the same size jack - so you may need an adaptor. On one side of the Guitar Link there?s a volume level dial which controls volume to the headphones. The other side has a switch to move from Hi to Lo recording levels.

It connects via USB and provides a reasonable sound for home use or amateur recording once you setup the various controls/drivers for sound on the PC. Just watch to minimise the latency to avoid 'delays', that will depend on your computer hardware.

Bundled software comes from Native Instruments thart can mimic effects pedals, amps and records music. Specifically for the amp you can try various modeled sounds from Amp systems that look something like Fender, Vox and Marshall. Included is a licence for one of these, I got the one for 'Vox'. The included recording software is of an introductory level, so you are probbaly better off using the better and popular Audacity. I have to be honest in that so far I have just used it for the amp sounds with headphones for quiet practice anywhere around the house - it beats those cheap little amps that plug into the guitar.

Behringer UCG102 electric guitar/computer interface

Bought same to use with Jamvox 3 software which now is only offered without an interface and as I did not have a clue what interface to get I took a chance on the Behringer UCG102. On first trying to install on a windows 8.1 notebook the interface would not work, the included guitar combos software with the UCG drivers was a nightmare to install but after a couple of days reading up on various websites found that the computer soundcard software has to be updated to comply with windows updates. Once this was done the sound of the guitar through the headphones using the guitar combos amps was magical. The interface works well with the jamvox system so well pleased
