This will do fine for what I need it for. I use Garageband to record and now I have some really awesome guitar sounds. The keyboard is handy but the only reason I am not giving 10 is that I expected the KB37 to have at least a few keyboard tones in gearbox. Strictly a controller and no real advantage over the ux2. I already have another keyboard so I probably could have gone with the ux2.

Sound
Tone Direct really works. No latency, even on a crappy laptop. Amp models and effects are sooooo good and infinitely tweakable. I don't have any add-on packs but you could add more tones. I use my amp as a monitor and it sounds better than anything I have ever used. MIDI keyboard is as good as what ever soundcard or plugins you have.

Features
This thing does it all. As soon as it was hooked up it did everything guitarwise that it says. The interface in Gearbox is very easy to use. You need to create your own user sounds if you want to access them because you can only change tone by clicking with the mouse or scrolling with a pedal or on the KB37 to the next tone. No big deal. I wish the assignable buttons could jump directly to the patch that I assign it. Maybe next time.

Ease of Use
Every patch is awesome and if you don't like it, make your own tone. Just install it plug it in and go.

Quality
Plastic case and keys are a little cheesy but it just sits on my desk… read more so that is no big deal.

Value
Other interfaces may cost the same and include far fewer features. You can by a POD for the same price. One guy I know bought a digital recording system for $800. He was certainly pissed when I told him that I paid $200 for my toneport which does the same stuff.

Manufacturer Support
Support only available in a discussion board. No phone support but my question was answered so it worked for me.

The Wow Factor
Maybe I don't get this question but I wanted it enough to buy it!
