Description
This Line 6 POD Studio UX1 package includes the POD Farm plug-in and Reason Limited recording software, an ideal platform for recording guitarists. This collection of studio-standard hardware and software provides instant pro guitar recording right out of the box.
NOTE: As of April 2010, if you order this product, you'll automatically be upgraded to POD Farm 2.0.
The Line 6 POD Studio UX1 boasts extremely low noise for recording guitar plus 12dB more dynamic range than similar interfaces, for clear and dynamic recordings. The exclusive Line 6 ToneDirect monitoring eliminates latency and allows you to record with amp and effect modeling without sacrificing tone or feel.
Compact and powerful, the Line 6 UX1 recording interface features a 1/4" guitar input, a balanced XLR input with high-quality mic preamp, a pair of 1/4" line inputs, a 1/4" stereo monitor input, and a pair of 1/4" analog outs for a truly professional recording experience.
Public Service Announcement: Latency Kills
Recording with latency is like driving with your eyes closed. Line 6's ToneDirect monitoring allows you to record and monitor a fully processed guitar tone while virtually eliminating latency and taking all the guesswork out of recording great-sounding tracks.
What's latency? Latency is the delay caused by the time it takes your guitar signal to travel all the way through your hardware interface, through your computer's processor, through your plug-in software, back through your hardware interface, and out of your speakers or headphones. This delay is significant in your monitoring signal and makes recording almost impossible. With a Line 6 POD Studio UX1 interface, latency is something you'll never have to deal with.

Very decent audio interface.
Bought it over 15 years ago. Still working. Great software (POD Farm). The only thing it's missing is phantom power.

You need to buy a phantom power supply, then you can use condenser microphones with this!
