Critic Reviews

Line 6 Toneport KB37

soundonsound.com

The Line 6 Toneport KB37 strikes a chord with guitarists seeking an all-in-one recording solution. This versatile gadget combines a keyboard controller, USB audio interface, and Pod-quality amp modeling, making it an enticing package for musicians. The gear shines with its near-zero latency monitoring, intuitive transport controls, and well-regarded audio interface quality. However, the absence of a hardware display for easy preset access and a paper manual might deter some users. Overall, the KB37 offers excellent value, especially for guitar players, though keyboardists might find its features appealing too.

Line 6 TonePort KB37 review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Line 6 TonePort KB37 is an intriguing tool for newcomers to digital recording, offering a decent keyboard, excellent sounds, and a robust audio interface. Its retro design and build quality are commendable, while the GearBox software provides a wealth of guitar tones. However, the lack of software plug-in functionality and a single velocity curve limit its versatility. Despite these drawbacks, the KB37 remains a solid choice for those seeking a compact and versatile recording solution.

Great for starting out

I found this second hand for around £70 - £80 I was looking for my first audio interface and was pretty suprised to find something even better. It has a midi keyboard, multiple input options and a pretty decent sound. The only downside was the audio output on the interface was really dodgy (Maybe just a second hand issue) it will take a few minutes to get it to balance the sound left and right and will not match the knob position. That was the only reason I had to upgrade to a new interface. overall though amazing
