I would definitely replace it if it's gone some day. Right now there is just no product like this that fits all the needs of an hobby home recorder on a budget and with small space.
Sound
All PODfarm sounds I have tried yet react absolutely natural. Normally I don't like the concept of digital amp simulations, but what the heck- this works. You can play through your HiFi speakers and it feels like an amp. No latency, good dynamics, response to guitar and picking volume. That's all very natural. Of course you don't get the take-no-prioners-punch from a stack but that's not the intention either. It's graet to play at home and to record. You need tons of euipment, experience and the right room to get a recording result like this with a real amp.
Features
good software package: POD farm with upgrade to POD farm 2 (I guess I like the old one a little better. but you can use both) Reason adapted is great Ableton live lite seems to be great - just the lite version but it works for simpler home recordings RiffWorks is a good tool to capture your ideas hassle-free
Ease of Use
just perfect, no AC Adpter, the power comes through the USB connection everything is handy
Quality
everything feels good. I'm no keyboarder but to mey the 37 keys feel allright. The 4 control knobs appear a little shaky, but I have used it for only 1 week now so I'm not sure if they will give up.
Value
unbeatable package
The Wow Factor
the whole Idea of an external USB sound interface combined with the control keyboard and all the inputs is just right.
