looks line a mean little machine... $300 musiciansfriend

Frankenstein! Where's the 3 megapixel webcam, and built-in GPS for finding your way to the gig?

I'm continually amazed at how many ways music equipment manufacturers can repackage the same old shit! I suppose it's all music-related, at least.

I'm sure it has its uses, and $300 looks good, as long as it doesn't suffer from MACJTPCS (M-Audio Cracker Jack Toy Plastic Construction Syndrome).

I somehow think it's stereo only, though...

obviously it's aimed at guitar players, and i doubt it has multiple outs. it looks rather rugged, but I have no idea howt Line 6 builds their kits. It would be nice to have the tube pre's if Line 6 is any good at making them. There is a "lot of the same" floating around there, and the only thing inventive this adds to the mix is the tube aspect and built in cabinet fx.

The assignable VU's are the only thing that interests me, kinda neat idea (provided they are accurate).

MACJTPCS!

Aint no tubes in that thing! Only modelling.

Based on the UX1 and UX2.Lots of people are OK with USB 1.1 audio interfaces, but lots of people also have problem with Line6's drivers.

I wish I could add the preamp models to my PodXT tho'...
