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.

Feature:
came with crappy software. crappy drivers. nearly crashed my computer. downloaded necassary stuff online, got it working, but corrupted other stuff on my computer that normally works fine. crap.

Quality:
cheap plastic. gets lost easily, probably broken easy too. mines not broken yet, but then again, the hammer's still in the drawer

Value:
don't buy it. I've never returned anything to a music store, but i think i just might return this one. like i said, corrupted my computer, and eventually the unit stopped working all together. i've burned a lot of money on crappy items in my day, but this one takes the cake in my opinion.

Desirability:
it could easier be mistaken for an hairless albino mouse.. save the time and get a real mouse that eats and stuff

Sound:
sounds comes in, only with line levels though. if you try to run a mic through it you'll have to boost the heck out of the signal

Ease of Use:
i went to school for this stuff and it took me three days to get a signal.

Support:
didn't even bother. I deemed it crap and all the live support in the world wouldn't change that

Overall:
overall like i said, i went to school for this stuff. i can build and run a studio from the ground up, and if you're panning on buying this unit, you might as well take two twenties and set them on fire. peace

Feature:
The product doesnt do what it says it does, you cannot use the amp models to record through audacity. I have spent weeks trying to fix all the problems.

Quality:
You get what you pay for

Value:
The product is pointless

Sound:
The sound of this product is terrible, there is alot of altering required to avoid getting a high pitched noise over everything else. And even then the amp models arent great.

Ease of Use:
Dont bother

Support:
I havent tried to contact them

Overall:
I was not satisfied with the product and would not recommend it to anyone.
