UX2, the Lowest Noise for the Clearest Recordings
UX2 boasts the lowest noise for recording guitar, 12dB more dynamic range than similar interfaces, for clear and dynamic recordings. Plus, exclusive Line 6 ToneDirect(TM) monitoring virtually eliminates latency allowing you to record with amp and effect modeling and without sacrificing tone or feel.

Versatile and powerful, UX2 boasts a comprehensive I/O featuring two 1/4-inch guitar inputs (normal or pad), two balanced XLR inputs with high-quality mic preamps, phantom power and trim knobs, a 1/4-inch stereo monitor input, two 1/4-inch line inputs, two balanced 1/4-inch line outputs, S/PDIF digital output, a 1/4-inch stereo headphone output with level control and a pair of assignable VU meters for a truly pro recording experience.

Public Service Announcement: Latency Kills.
Recording with latency is like driving with your eyes closed. Exclusive to Line 6, ToneDirect monitoring allows you to record and monitor a fully processed 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 heard in your monitoring signal and makes recording almost impossible. With a POD Studio UX2 interface, latency is something you'll never have to deal with.

Start Recording Right Out of the Box
POD Studio UX2 includes POD Farm plug-in, Ableton(R) Live Lite Line 6 Studio Edition 16-track recording software ideal for guitarists, and award-winning Reason Adapted production software featuring a sought-after sequencer and tons of stunningly lifelike instruments. This collection of studio-standard hardware and software provides instant pro recording, right out of the box.

Line 6 POD Studio UX2 USB Computer Recording Interface Reviews

13 People rated this product :
           8 out of 10
           9 out of 10
"Versatile and worth the money!"
Feature:
Well, in theory you could record with just this bundle but in reality you need to also invest in good recording software. I use a PC so I swear by Sonar.

Quality:
The UX2 interface is plastic and it's light but I haven't had any problems with it and I've been using it a lot in the past year.

Value:
I love this product and would buy it again in a heartbeat. It's pretty easy to use and if you're good with computers, you'll love all the options!

Desirability:
The analog VU meters are sexy but some might be turned off by the plastic construction. Not the best made USB audio interface but you're not going to find more features and value for anywhere close to this price

Sound:
The UX2/Pod Farm bundle gives you a ton of guitar, bass and vocal sounds in one box but be prepared to tweak presets in order to get the best results. After a while I was able to find some great amp models that gave me the sounds I was after. I could dial up a sound similar to Early Van Halen and also the cleanest of Fender shimmering amps. I really found that the sound changed greatly depending on which guitars I used so it didn't just strip every instrument of its individuality.

Ease of Use:
Setup was easy but if you're not good with computers it may take you a bit longer. Tweaking the sounds will take a while but with Pod Farm's visual interface you'll find it a breeze.

Support:
Go to Line 6's forums and you'll always find helpful people there to help you with any problem you might have. There are plenty of Line 6 people there too. I usually don't even have to wait a full day before someone answers my questions.

Overall:
I use the UX2 and GearBox software all the time and it makes creating music easy. Now that I've upgraded to the Pod Farm, it's even easier to dial up great sound. Control freaks will love the amount of control over every aspect of their tone but it's still easy to dial in a great sound.

Say away if you use Windows 7. The drivers a still in "beta" and many owners are having "severe" issues. See this forum for more: http://line6.com/community/groups/windows-7-public-beta-group
