Best stuff!

by Mike from Bucharest, ROMANIA
March 30, 2011
Music Background: Home studio, pianist, singer, MIDI productions.
Great product for guitarists, but not only. Big knobs is appreciated in a studio, even a home (bedroom) studio. Very good guitar FX, especially Tube Simulator, pitty it can not be mixed with delay, ch... read more [+]orus or AmpDrive. Easy install (I use it on Windows XP and OSX as well). No external power, which helps OnTheGo. Also MIDI and PhantomPower, a lot of things in a small package, but why cheap plastic? I like the guitar Cosm FX (distorsion, delay) pretty useful. The price is very good (99 USD) for so many in-boxed. close [-]

Great Unit For On The Go!

by Rob from Great Lake State

Music Background: Recording, Studio Musician been playing for 30+ years
We bought this unit thinking well will it do what we want or what. The results we got from this little gem have been earth shattering!!! Not only can we control our midi synths on our laptop computer ... read more [+]we can add guitar and vocals with the same unit and the price is awsome!! We do recordings for film and television and this unit works great for what we do and if you wanted to use it to cut a cd or demo it could do that also. Thanks Sweetwater for being such a good place to buy gear we will always get our gear from you in the future. close [-]

Very good value

by George from Toronto, Canada

Music Background: Producer, Guitarist & Songwriter
I've been using UA-4FX for the past 3 years with very good results on a XP-based laptop and now a desktop using Sonar. Quality onboard DSP (well known COSM technology by Roland) comes very useful for ... read more [+]both tracking and monitoring. ASIO is solid, and having separate stereo-RCA, XLR (with phantom power) and ¼” inputs is great.
It looks as good as it works. Most of material on musicline.ca was created using this unit. close [-]

Not a bargain...

by SLS from Asheville, NC

Music Background: home studio hobbyist, music teacher
This product promises a lot. Midi input, mic input, 1/4in input, built in effects, etc. The effects are a waste of space and are basically worthless. If you're working with any decent DAW your plugins... read more [+] will be a thousand times better than what Roland offers here. And if you want a tube preamp sound, buy a tube preamp for $30. Moreover, the effects on mine quit working within the first month. This device feels like a toy. It is made of plastic, and not the hard, thick plastic you'd associate with higher quality electronics. I've seriously felt kid toys that have more heft than this thing. Knobs are cheap. Overall cheap, cheap, cheap manufacturing. I bought this with the intentions of streamlining my workspace because you can hook midi and inputs to it. It wasn't worth the money. It wouldn't be worth the money if it were half the cost it is listed for. I returned this is and purchased a Steinberg CI1 instead. In this day and age of computers, there's no reason for your interface to carry cheap effects. From what I could tell, the 'uncolored' input sound on this isn't too bad, but I wouldn't count on this thing working more than a couple months. close [-]

Without a doubt Sweetwater has become my " go to" place for all my musical needs. EXCELLENT JOB GUY'S! Very fast delivery.
