5 out of 10
Feature:
The accessories, like the included Audacity recording program DO NOT work with this unit, you must use the Behringer ASIO and audcity wil not, is not allowed to accept it
Quality:
It's ok for the price, plastic like everything else these days and I have a hard time keeping the jack cord plugged in.
Value:
This is probably a good value if ALL you want is the ability to play using your computer instead of an amp beyond that forget it.
Desirability:
Like
I said if all you want is to practice using your computer as an amp it's fine, that is all it does, if you want to record look elsewhere and expect to spend a grand or more before your done, as well as investing weeks or months or longer just learning how to use everything.
Sound:
The combo amps give you multiple hoices for sound, you get one of the 3 for free, buy the others for $15 each but beware that this is ONLY a one person practice tool
Ease of Use:
It either works out of the box or you spend a lot of time trying to figure it out, the so called manual leaves a lot to be desired
Support:
In a week of asking for help I got one auto response which was download and read the iaxe owners manual. wrote back three times and am still waiting almost a week later
Overall:
As a practice tool it's probably great, but as a means for recording your tunes forget it, it doesn't really do that, certainly not the way you would hope for.

Feature:
Pretty bare bones. Comes with 3 "Guitar Combos" based on Native Instruments Guitar Rig, but you can only select one to keep. Also, contrary to the documentation you cannot use the Guitar Combo as a VST plug-in to another audio application like the free Audicity tool that is supplied. The software also does not let you route the output to your soundcard/computer speakers. You have to physically connect the headphone output which leads to the high pitched tone problem I metioned in the sound rating I gave it.
Quality:
The unit itself seems to be made well.
Value:
Its the least expensive one out there. You get what you pay for.
Desirability:
Eh.
Sound:
The unit works well on the input side, but I agree with another reviewer, the input level seems a little low. On the output side, it works OK with headphones, but emits a high pitched tone in the background when plugged into speakers for monitoring without headphones. Thankfully, the recorded sound is fine.
Ease of Use:
This is fairly easy to use, however the Windows drivers are difficut to uninstall (it makes you physically disconnect ALL of your USB devices then reboot your computer).
Support:
The jury's still out. I have a request in about the high-pitched tone I get while running it into computer speakers. We'll see if they respond.
Overall:
I'm already searching for another product, though I haven't yet given up on this.
