Note that only one instrument input channel is available, but if you were to use a DI box into the other's channel's mic input or line input, I see no reason not to use two sets of guitar amp models at the same time, or one guitar and one bass. The slightly more expensive UX2 provides two front-panel instrument jacks (one normal, one padded down for high-output guitars) as well as two balanced XLR mic inputs with globally switchable 48 Volt phantom power.

Handling this at driver level gets around the USB bandwidth limitation and allows simultaneous I/O while recording at 96k. The Toneport still operates at 44.1k or 48k, but the driver will sample-rate convert up to 96k so you can use the device to work on projects created at 96k. There's also a 96kHz mode that uses sample-rate conversion.

When you install the Gearbox software that comes with the unit, you get drivers supported by ASIO, WDM and Mac OS X Core Audio. It works fine as the sole interface in a computer setup, providing you only need two inputs and two outputs, and the output level control is ideally placed for setting the level of connected active monitors or headphones. The UX1 and (above) the UX2.As an interface, the UX1 normally operates at 24-bit, 44.1kHz or 48kHz.

It's important to switch off software monitoring in your audio host software when recording, otherwise you'll hear both the near-zero-latency version of what you're singing or playing plus the DAW version delayed by whatever latency your audio drivers are set to. This is important because the included software will only run with the UX1 connected, and the near-zero-latency monitored signal always emerges from the UX1, even if you have routed the rest of your sequencer audio through a different interface. There are rotary controls for mic gain and output level and there's also a stereo jack monitor input so that you can combine the output of your computer with that of the UX1 if you happen to be running an additional soundcard or interface under those operating systems that allow it. A single headphone out is also included, but there's no phantom power for the mic input. The cheaper UX1 has stereo line ins and unbalanced line outs on quarter-inch jacks, one XLR balanced mic input and one high-impedance instrument input jack. However, as with all USB interfaces, it's best to connect the interface to a dedicated USB port rather than a hub. Both use USB connectivity and draw their power from the USB buss so there's no need for an additional PSU. What's different is that the UX2 has more connectivity options and features a nice pair of frog-eye meters, as well as phantom powering for capacitor microphones. The benefit is that you can hear your effected input signal with no perceptible latency when recording, regardless of how large a buffer size you set in the host application.īoth packages come with exactly the same Gearbox software (as well as a cut-down version of Ableton's Live 4 loop-based sequencer) and offer the same sound quality. The modelling effects on offer here are not plug-ins, but operate directly on the input source before the host application. In each case, you get a two-in, two-out USB audio interface with mic, line and instrument inputs and a suite of amp and effect modelling software derived from the Pod XT and Bass Pod XT, plus some newly added vocal preamp models. Line 6's Toneport UX1 and UX2 are computer recording interfaces aimed at the guitarist or bassist who might also want to record vocals and other instruments. Line 6's latest products are USB boxes that turn your computer into a low-latency amp-modelling system.
