The TonePort UX8 is the only USB 2.0 audio interface that combines the powerful tone-shaping of Line 6’s acclaimed GearBox software — the same tone engine used by the POD — with recording inputs for eight simultaneous channels of studio-quality 24-bit/96 kHz audio. The rugged and stylish rack-mountable design delivers the kind of features and components you would expect in a professional unit. An eye-catching front panel design houses trim knobs, signal activity and clip LEDs, as well as two distinctive, retro-inspired VU meters. The TonePort UX8 provides the discerning producer with eight XLR inputs, eight 1/4 inch line inputs, two 1/4 inch front panel instrument jacks, eight 1/4 inch balanced line output jacks and two stereo headphone jacks, as well as a stereo RCA S/PDIF input and output. The TonePort UX8 delivers a multitude of tone, with a massive collection of models, including 18 guitar amps and 24 cabinets, 5 bass amps and 5 bass cabs, 6 mic preamps and 30 stompbox and studio effects for guitar, bass and vocals. The TonePort UX8 will never let your killer guitar tones lag behind your inspiration.
