Reading ... its a Full Interface with Pro Tools, does it work with Reaper and others?
Mic Preamp for Vocals and micing instruments....nice.
DI with True-Z impedance in addition to other stuff....the DI alone can cost $100+
that's a lot of gear in the box.
Things I've figured out in 24 hours:
1. Yep, works with whatever. (cubase reaper etc...) Has Asio driver support.
2. Given I bought it used, I didn't get pro tools. That's totally fine with me because I wouldn't use it anyway. I imagine that played into the price though.
3. Yeah the price was totally worth it IMO however...
4. The fx options in this unit (the distortions, modulations, delays, and reverbs) kind of suck but...
5. Unlike other guitar units this one actually takes pedals really well and the the stereo FX send and return can be moved around in the FX chain. I connected a stereo chorus and stereo reverb into the fx loop and it was pretty dang good.
6. The amp simulation is actually pretty good for a 9 year old device. I was honestly surprised, I just picked this up for scratch tracks but it might make it onto some recordings when it comes to clean tones.
7. The noise gate is 100% trash. Running an ISP decimator out front is considerably better.
8. If you ever consider buying one make sure it has firmware version 2 at minimum. Older versions actually cost money to upgrade and the upgrade adds functionality (additional amps etc...)
I'm actually running it via S/Pdif into my audio interface. I only have the USB port connected to use the control software as it's easier than menu diving on the device itself.
