Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I bought this so I could record while travelling because bringing my full size interface isn't sensible and this will fit in my guitar case. I will say I'm quite impressed the sound quality and the options. My expectations weren't extremely high, but it actually comes very close to the quality I get out of my much more expensive full size interface.The preamp options are also excellent, the Valve setting really warms up the sound of direct guitar and I think I will be able to get better than demo quality recordings with it. I haven't put it through it's paces on vocals yet but I think it will replace my other interface for guitar tracking. For $60 it really is a good buy and zZounds was super fast with the shipping
