...and I've bought an UX1 Studio wink.gif

You see - it has both guitar AND mic preamps, plus it's outside of the computer, which is an additional pro (soundcard put into the computer sits in one big noisy place....). Plus this software - with this you are done with any latency, which is killing, when using some external VST effects.

Recording your amp with a mic requires you to have some nice rehearsal room, and with Toneport you can put your amps line out (or headphones out) into Toneport's in - and you're done smile.gif

Good soundcards don't pick up any relavant amount of noise from the PC. Speaking of the latency of the Toneport USB (Buffering) alone adds like 5ms in each direction. Which is ihmo already noticable. Another problem with the toneport is that it requires special drivers. These things aside, I think it's a good USB Guitar Interface.

Mandos, my recommendation would be to get a BOSS GT-10. I've got a Pod XT (which is very similar to the X3, which I've also tried). I prefer the sound of the GT-10, the ability to loop in a preamp (I've got an ENGL 530) or pedals is also great. The device is USB Audio class compliant which means it will just work plug & play with your computer, is able to control an external (pre)amp. It has got an integrated looper which is cool for jamming or creating patches. I'd strongly suggest you to check it out and spend some time with it. I didn't like it at first but after some fiddling I'm really enjoying it now.

I have UX1 Studio version and I can't see ANY latency. Before this I had to move my tracks for a couple of ms.

Any professional card brings the same drivers - ASIO model. Using any professional DAW software requires ASIO enabled sound source.

just a quick question, can i use the *.l6t for this also ?


Yes, they work on UX series - unless of course they use the gear you have installed in your POD software - so some will work and some will not.

You can't hear any latency because it is not audible through ToneDirect monitoring mate. But if you turn on monitoring from DAW there will be 15-30 latency, depending of sampling rate or the project.
