4.0 out of 5 stars Good but buy the one with red if you can find it., May 8, 2009

This review is from: Line 6 POD Studio GX (Electronics)

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.

I have owned this product for over six months now and I use it nearly every day. It has never given me a problem, and does indeed provide an very-low latency interface as described. The accompanying POD Farm software is easy to use, and provides high quality tones suitable for recording. Don't let the program's presets discourage you, most of them are lousy. But with a little tweaking and/or some research online, you will be quite satisfied.

I purchased the GX model because it was the simplest and cheapest model available. I have not been disappointed, nor have I wished it had additional features.

This little beast is so good I have'nt used my amp since. The presets are great you can play along to your favorite songs modeling the same amps and effects the original artists used.It comes with recording software(abelton live)and riffworks. The pod farm has all the amps and stomp boxes you need to have fun.

Musician's Friend had the best price plus I got another $30.00 off that by signing up for the Amazon.com credit card. This unit was worth every penny it cost.
