 Great product, disappointing "demo" recording software thoughJul 24, 2008
This product had me drooling for weeks for good reason. The Toneport UX2 is like turning your personal computer into a musical candy shop via the Gearbox software. Seriously, you can chose virtually any major band/artist and the tones are amazing. The potential is unlimited and this truly lives up to Line 6's high versatility standards.
Comes with a tuner and metronome, which are both very impressive. I hooked my electric guitar up to this Toneport along with a vocal microphone and have the output going to my Fender FM 65R amp. The tones are spot on.
The Gearbox software is very user friendly and allows you to adjust to your musical taste buds content. The only reason this product did not score higher from me is because of the packaged recording software. Toneport UX2 comes with a Live Lite 5 Line 6 Edition recording that only allows a "demo" that does not let you save your work. The upgrade to a full version of the Live 5 recording software is about $300+.
Overall, this is a very quality product and I highly recommend it even though I was unaware that the Lite version recording software was so powerful yet unable to import or save work. :-(
I love my Toneport UX2 so far and will continue to use it to hone my musical skills and create my own masterpieces and/or walk in the shoes of the master musicians before me.
I love itApr 04, 2008
I use mine primarily to record bass guitar and electric guitar (using Ableton Live as my DAW). The UX2 is perfect for me, and I'm surprised how much I like the GearBox software. I'm able to dial up great sounds for my basses and guitars. The array of amps, cabs, and effects is varied and powerful, and there are some nice practice features, like the built-in tuner, metronome, and audio player (for playing along with mp3s or wavs). The best thing, though, is the "ToneDirect" monitoring. You can monitor straight off the headphone jack of the UX2, which cuts out most latency issues.
The only thing I'd really like to see for it would be a dedicated foot controller of some sort. You can make it work with some third-party MIDI controllers, but it is, from what I read, a little tricky. If Line6 made one for it, I'd be happy to buy it.
I wrote a full review of it over at [...]. You can check that out for more details.
Universal Solution!Jan 18, 2008
I used to use this to record with my band about a year and a half ago, and I recently moved to a new town. I had to buy one for myself to use while I'm here. I use this to connect my laptop to my PA system and re-record my songs. Gearbox is a great program and it allows you to get almost any sound you want. Set up was as simple as run the CD, and plug it in! Great buy, shipped in half the time it said it would, and Amazon has the cheapest prices I've seen.

My order for the Toneport UX2Jan 18, 2008
I was very pleased with my order. It was for a Christmas present that I ordered the week before the big day and it arrived on time, as promised, and so far is working well. I would definitely order from this seller again.

Amazing power in a small packageSep 10, 2007
I purchased the UX2 to replace my M-Audio MobilePre USB and I was quite amazed with the increase in quality of my recordings. The effects and emulators that are built in are very nice and transfer quite well onto your recordings. I'm using the UX2 with GarageBand on a Mac and I'm very happy with the setup. My only complaint is that the UX2/GearBox effects cannot be used directly within GarageBand so I'm unable to tweak effects once I've recorded my take, they're part of the signal and cannot be edited.
Overall you'll be very happy with this product!
