I am planning to buy the line 6 ux2 with farm, but if I plug it in and the signal goes to my pc, the sound will come out of my speakers. is there also an option that it goes to my amp ( Ux2 acts as stompbox ). ? Grtz Marc UX2 is really not made for this mate. Not that you cannot connect it (you can, just connect line outs from UX2, to the amp's input). However, the sound won't be that good, because main outputs from UX2 are line outputs with increased voltage that need to be connected to guitar's amp input with lower voltage, which can affect some frequencies being rolled off. Besides, UX2 needs a speaker that has flat response. Guitar amp/speaker is the system that has narrowed sound range/response. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

yeah, definitely. Get a pair of great speakers to get the most loyal amp simulation sound out of the UX2

so if I would play live, id better plug it directly in to the pa system. It depends what kind of advice you have and other factors which makes it a bit risky: UX2 is mainly usb audio interface, and it uses CPU processin, which means the sound is affected by computer a lot. When pushing the volume on the PA system, you will hear a LOT of these noises from computer, which will not be pleasant. If you had a processor unit that does modelling, like POD X3, POD HD, GT10, or other better units, yes, you can plug it straight into PA system. This is because cabinet simulators on those processors narrow down the sound range and create the sound as you would mic the amp. In that case it would be best to use it on a flat response speaker system, and PA is that kind of system (even bass, even mids, even treble). Guitar speaker is not so even, so it may not sound as good. There is other important thing, the variety of gear. Some PA systems are terrible, so the sound will be - terrible. Some amps can overdrive, like Marshalls, so if you plug it there, you will add lots of mids, remove some bass, and distort the emulation. However, some amps, like Hiwatt or Roland, will have clean tone with more even response, so those simulators will sound a bit better there. It all depends what you find on spot, what kind of gear. It also depends on the person and what kind of experience he has with connecting all this gear together. When you have the experience, you must trust your tone tech as well, so he can make proper adjustments on the mixer of the PA. So couple of factors to consider.. If you ask me, most easiest way to connect is: 1. If you have clean amp (fender, roland, hiwatt) - connect to amp 2. if you have crunchy amp (marshall, higain amps) - connect to PA (if PA and tone tech is good, and if you have proper monitoring to hear yourself) -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
