The line-6 POD devices work with Vista 64 (I'm using one myself, UX2) but one guy I know is having a problem getting it to run in VST mode in Windows7; that is using it to re-amp a dry recorded signal. It works fine in application mode. The GX takes a quarter inch input, the UX models have a bit more as you go up in number and price.
The m-audio fasttrack is an equally popular alternative, and I also only know one guy that had trouble with it: GMC user Bnosam, if you want to PM him and ask about his feelings towards m-audio. I assume these also have more inputs/outputs as you go higher in price/model. Not sure. There's also a behringer "guitar link" that seems to have mixed reviews as well. This one takes only the quarter inch jack, no XLR or fanciness. Also quite lower in price. -------------------- ::jafomatic

OK, Think I'm gonna go with that UX2, it looks pretty good for the money.

I think you can get better devices then UX2 mate. UX2 is only 2 channel interface although it tends to look like it has 4 channels. And it has a bit latency. If you tell me whats your budget I will be happy to give some suggestions.

The problem with Line 6 POD Studio models is that you are limited to their own modeling software POD Farm. Because of the latency, other modeling software is running poorly. Also, POD Studio UX1 is better option since it also has two channels and it is cheaper device.
Guitar Rig Session might be worth checking out, it comes with a much nicer bundle including Cubase LE 4, KORE PLAYER, and the KORE SOUNDPACK POP DRUMS. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I don't feel any latency with my UX2. In fact, the low (none?) latency monitoring is one of the biggest selling features.
Let's also be clear about the number of channels available to the audio workstation, and the number visible in podfarm. Podfarm will process 2 at a time (balanced xlr or their standard line-in) and either one of the Instrument or PAD. However: the other 4-6 inputs are still available at all times in the workstation for sources that don't need to go through podfarm or to simply record more dry signals if you prefer to reamp with podfarm or some other plugin. -------------------- ::jafomatic

I wasn't aware of the UX2 ability to send 6 streams of audio into DAW. Thanks for clarification Jafo. Low latency monitoring is applied only to POD Farm tho, If other modelers are used I found the device managing barely to keep one session of guitar rig opened on separate FX track. Direct DAW monitoring has around 50ms of latency which is too much. However, if only POD Farm is used, the device works great. I've used UX1 for quite some time, and it served me well. It has only 2 inputs, and it can process them at once creating 2 channel stream. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Ahh, yes that's probably true that only the monitoring of the 1-2 signals from podfarm are low/no latency. I didn't consider that. It may still serve this particular user's needs if he doesn't like the other options but that's a good point; anything else going only through the DAW is at the mercy of standard ASIO latency.

Thanks for this discussion Jafo now I can try to give a more defined answer to Adam:
- if you plan to use POD Farm and nothing else, and want 2 inputs, get the UX1 - if you plan to use different guitar modeling software products then you must tell us if you want USB or PCI version, how many inputs, do you already own some modeling software (since it must fit into the budget..) -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
