Great if you know what you're doing

from Canton, OH
The product was recommended by a friend. I first bought a Pod Studio GX. Then I upgraded to the UX1 within a year. I probably would've stuck with the GX a lot longer if the UX1 hadn't dropped so much in price. So besides the fact that it has XLR input, which the GX doesn't have, the price is my primary reason for buying the product.
It does what it says. It does take a little time to get familiar with the product and its interface. But once you get the hang of it, you realize how simple it is. To model your own tones, to download new ones, to upgrade your firmware and drivers... Piece of cake. The only thing that I've noticed can be a bit buggy on 64-bit platforms has to do with the ToneDirect driver(used to adjust latency, sample rate, etc.). And I typically only run into problems with that if I'm adjusting latency or sample rate, which I don't often do. Making adjustments to the drive can occasionally cause the driver to crash. Other running programs could be to blame for the issue, but I've not experimented with the issue as I've only experienced it two or three times.
The included software: Pod Farm, excellent. Ableton Live Lite, garbage. Use a real DAW. There was one other disc included, but as I recall it was just another useless piece of software.
Overall, good product. There are better products out there, but you're going to pay for them. With the UX1, you do get a little more than you pay for. As long as you're not paying full retail. =]

What's great about it: Great bang for your buck... At least at its current price.
What's not so great: Can be occasionally buggy, limited cust. support
I would recommend this to a friend!
