Line 6 UX1 vs UX2

hi all,

I am trying to decide which would be most benefical to purchase ,UX1 or 2. I'm asking anyone that has used either to tell me if ux2 is worth the price over ux1. I need a guitar input and a mic input. all extras after that may not be needed. thanks for the input in advance!

thanks steve , doc suggested looking into it after i described what i was using and what i wanted to do.

I've been using the UX1 for about three years for guitar, bass, and vox. I'm very happy with it. But I have been considering the POD FArm simply for the ability to split the signal and run a combination of amps, and it's only $50. Hard to resist. But then I'd have to spend a bunch of time tweaking presets again. Not like that's a bad thing, it's time restraints that are the bad thing

Hi Steve
I managed to download and install the Pod Farm for the free UIX2 I got.
how do I use the POD farm, I'm not really sure what a plug in is?
Sorry to be such a noob

when you have time, checkout Steve's talk at the topics section of the forum . Dean Rodneys Tutorial - a broad overview of many subjects.

Is the VST option greyed out Dave, or just not there?

Dave, I haven't got time now I'm afraid, but if I see you around later we'll try and walk you through using the VST Adapter - scanning a VST or two might force GT3 to show the option for you.

In the meantime, can you list down what options you do get when you right click in an FX bin, including sub menus.

You need to click on Audio Effects to find the options; you should at least see GT:FX and inside that menu, Echo, Modulate, Phaze, Q, Squeeze and Verb - these are the effects bundled and pre-installed with GT3.

Catch you later Dave

Hey Mark, did you get the Gold Bundle for your TonePort?
Steve

Alas, Steve, I never did get the Gold bundle. But the Pod Farm upgrade is only about $50.....and Christmas is just around the corner

Hi Steve , No its old Hampshire, just North of Salisbury but inside Hampshire.
I did what you said and tried to start up all these effects and got rid of a whole bunch of them
see you at 6-30
kindest regards really appreciate this help
Dave

Hi Steve should I start a new thread for the VST stuff
cheers
Dave

Bill, it's funny you mention that - in every other piece of Cakewalk software I've got (5) I get a screen allowing me to open the last project or a new one etc.

I can't ever remember having had that in GT3 - I did get the Tips screen, which I've turned off.

Be interesting to see if anyone knows how to get it to appear - it can be kind of handy.



(Dave - good idea, we'll stop hijacking Bill's thread - no need to start a new one, I'll see you in the Wow-got it all to work thread)
