I wish to upgrade my recording interface (right now, a garageband cable that works with one of my computers, coming from my looper or a pedal). After reading and watching threads hear, I am narrowing it down to one of the Toneports, the UX2, UX1 and GX (new guy, only $70).

I read Hogfullofblue's thread, and many pick the PodXT to do the same thing and prefer it due to the actual knobs and the ability to use it on a standalone basis. I don't think I would use it much that way. Maybe I am wrong, but I am hesitant to go that deep. I am thinking on finding a used UX2 on the bay or somewhere as my compromise point.

My thoughts:

I want the extra inputs for more guitars (like my son's), mics and a keyboard at some point so want more than the lesser two units. I think the one guitar input only of the GX is a deal breaker. Used UX2's are not that pricey and can be found for the same as a new UX1. The patches seem to transfer across well among all three units and Pods. Being a Mac guy, I am influenced by what works well with Macs. Macworld gave it a great review: http://www.macworld.com/2006/12/revi...tux2/index.php

Advice guys? Thanks!
