Reviewsbased on 1 reviewApogee GiO... Not perfect, but close.
by Matthew Wynn from Lancaster, PA USA
I use Mainstage 2 as my guitar rig (with most of my the sounds from Amplitube 3), and I needed a means of changing patches and adding stomp effects. I was trying to decide between the Apogee GiO and ... read more [+]IK Multimedia's StompIO. I decided to go with the GiO for a few reasons:November 27, 2010 Music Background: Hobbyist, Church Musician - It's made by Apogee, who is known for their high quality products and sound. - It's powered by the USB bus, so no extra power is required. - It cost less than the StompIO. - It's designed for use with Mainstage 2. Having had the GiO for several months now, I really do like it. The sound quality is excellent, it is built like a tank, relatively small (but big enough for stomping on) and switching sounds in Mainstage 2 is instantaneous. Some negatives about the product are the fact that there is only one input, and the output is an unbalanced headphone jack (so you'll probably need a direct box for connecting to a PA system). If Apogee were to create a version 2.0 of this product, I would recommend that they add a second input for connecting a microphone, balanced outputs, and I would prefer if the patch change stomps were more like the silver stomp buttons. Please note that if you are using Mainstage, it must be Mainstage 2. I was not able to get the GiO to work with Mainstage 1. Overall, I'm happy with the GiO, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a foot controller for Mainstage 2. It also works with Logic Pro and Garageband. I should also mention that Apogee's tech support was very responsive to my questions both before and after I purchased the GiO. close [-] Sweetwater Advice
Jason BaldwinIf you're a guitar player and use Logic, GarageBand or Mainstage 2, there is no reason why you shouldn't own an Apogee Gio. The build quality is rugged enough to take on the road, yet refined enough to match the aesthetics of your Mac and look professional in your studio. The dynamically lit stomp switches allow you to keep your hands on the guitar and focus on creativity, and playing the guitar, not the computer keyboard while in dimly light areas. Apogee Gio will streamline your recording and playing process whether in the studio or live on stage and have you sounding fantastic, it is after all legendary Apogee conversion. Also popular
