  Verified purchase

  Coming from the Scarlett 2i2 4th gen, I have to say the following.

  It was purchased solely for the use of an electric guitar, as its construction and features are intended for this instrument. It was connected with 2 balanced 6.3mm to XLR cables to my monitors, and the drivers were installed in 2 minutes.

  In Reaper with IK Multimedia Amplitube 5, with a buffer of 64 and a frequency of 192k, I have a delay of 1.4ms. With the same exact settings on the Scarlett, I had a delay of 59.4ms, which was noticeable. The choice for passive/active pickups and the JFet/Pure selection offer an extra layer of sound color in your playing, providing both sustain and versatility. The Z-Tone can add an extra tone to your playing, but for my taste, it was not necessary.

  Additionally, with the purchase, you receive a gift to choose 2 out of the 6 IK Multimedia plugins, such as drums/bass k.o.k, each of which costs 30-40 euros.

  The only thing I can find as a "lack" is that if you want to use the built-in tuner, you have to go for the regular version of the card and not the solo, which is now worth it considering the price difference (25 euros).

  For my needs, which were reducing the delay, adding extra versatility to my playing, and avoiding continuous crashes of my DAW due to the card's drivers (see Scarlett), the purchase is more than worth it.
