Compact design!
Let's face it, the electric guitar is by far the coolest weapon in the rock 'n' roll armory. The trouble is you need a whole host of amps and stomp boxes to make it sound any good. And that's no problem when you're touring the globe with an army of roadies. However, it's a bit of a pain in the axe when you just want to play and record at home. That's why the clever people at Behringer have created the amazing USB Guitar Link.
This ingenious bit of quality gear will transform your PC or Mac into a sophisticated amp, effects deck and 16-track recording system - no roadies, tech-heads or additional hardware required. Simply plug in your guitar, load the software and you're ready to rock...or pop, or jazz, or disco, or whatever else floats your boat.
In a nutshell the idiot-proof USB Guitar Link acts as an interface between your trusty frets and your computer, giving you the best of both worlds. You can jam and record your plucking genius using the included Audacity software and Kristal 16-track production program. The nifty software can even slow down the music files on your computer for easy learning/practice. It's like having an entire studio squeezed in your house.
Bundled software includes:
Guitar Combo 1 |
|
Guitar Combo 2 |
|
Guitar Combo 3 |
Best of all you can recreate some of the greatest guitar sounds without buying hundreds of amps and effects decks because the software features various virtual combos that sound just like the real deal - from British pop to crunchy blues and meaty metal. Whether you're blasting out your licks via speakers or listening in via headphones, the USB Guitar Link is a truly inspiring practice tool.
Connect ¼" jacks
If any of you purists out there are reading this and twiddling your machine heads in disdain, all we can say is enjoy fiddling with your pre-amp for umpteen hours, tripping over your pedal boards and endlessly tweaking your cumbersome mixing desk. KERRANG!!

Very interesting bit of equipment. Although no pedal to quickly change sounds, this product is amazing.
Jackson Birch, Australia - Mar '08 |
I was just wondering how useful this is in a live setting through a PA via a laptop? Could I replace my effects rack with it?
Firebox says: This product is great for learning guitarists and anyone interested in their effects. Playing in a live situation may cause some problems however as you'll have to release your fretting hand to cycle through the effects on the computer.

The USB Guitar link is an amazing piece of kit. It is like those top end Boss guitar pedals except it is all combined into one. Bit fiddly in terms of installing the drivers for the USB input and output (very important as without new drivers there is a lag between playing a note and hearing one).
All the greatest guitar effects you would want. HOWEVER. The only down side is... not having the stomps boxes, it means that turning on or off an FX sound would require mouse usage, and also the wah wah pedal can't be used in full as there isn't a foot pedal to use. I am sure they is a way to over come this.
Also very good in terms of recording your own music, clean and crisp. !
