Summary: Picky
Comment: Pros: Instrument-level input to a PC
Cons: Bundled software is worthless. Input is extremely quiet - almost to the point of uselessness.
Other: I suggest inputting this to FL Studio or some other ASIO-enabled studio software. To get anythign useful from it, I had to patch it in to FL Studio and plug a compressor AND a maximizer into the signal - but at that point there is really no dynamic range, and the only difference between a light pick and a good strong one is that the strong one clips (sounds like really cheap overdrive).
More Other: Not sure if this is ASIO or just FL Studio that was acting up, but it was only possible to output to a file or to speakers through the jamlab, rendering my nice expensive soundcard idle.

Summary: A great, versatile practice tool
Comment: I purchased this on sale from Musician's Friend for 25 bucks a few months ago, and it's proven to be a great practice tool. I just picked up the guitar again after not playing for years. It's so convenient to be able to just plug into the computer without wrestling with setting up an amp. The virtual effects stack is very nice. The presets are decent, and all of the indiviual effects can be strung together and tweaked for your own patches as you see fit. The track-playback facility is great, allowing me to play along with MP3 or WAV files, and slow them down as much as I like (without affecting pitch) to make mimicing them easier. Some users may play through headphones plugged into the interface, but I use an extension with male headphone plugs at both ends, and plug it into my Creative soundcard's line-in jack. The sound through my 2+1 computer speakers is quite good. The interface driver and G-Sound application are installed separately, and both work fine for me on Windows XP Pro. Check for online updates. You might be able to argue whether it's worth the full price, but if you can get it on sale, I think it's great.

Summary: Killed my computers sound when removed
Comment: After spending nearly an hour getting it to run I decided it wasn't worth it and removed the software and hardware.
Now my computer has no sound at all and I've even reloaded the orignal drivers. I would recommend this product only to people you don't like. I've had viruses do less damage.

Summary: This product worked two times out of ten.
Comment: I tried so many times to get this stupid device to work that I got ballistic. I sent two requests for support to the companies website but never received a single response.
This is one of the worst products I've ever received, and I strongly suggest that anyone stear of this company for any products.

Summary: garbage
Comment: cannot get this thing to work at all. the instructions are useless. am I missing something here? I'm echoing the previous reviewer. I'm not unfamiliar with computers and build my own. the website equally useless, I'm afraid. rma, uninstall, there.
Interesting, I had tried to plug this into a powered hub which shared several devices, including a Belkin UPS. Plugged this in and immediately the ups shut off the power. Upon restarting, now the PC cannot recognize the ups(but all my other usb stuff OK)....uninstall, reinstall, keep getting the dreaded "unrecognized device" for the ups-usb, which evidently means in my case that the ups' usb interface is fried, evidently. I had tried to use this before and two different mobos showed stange behaviour with the usb interface ultimately requiring board replacement, and now I'm beginning to think that maybe it was this device, as before I had plugged it into the case front usb, which plugs directly into the motherboard and near the south bridge.
