Bought to replace an aging interface and this has done an amazing job. The sound quality of the DACs/ADCs is incredible, the build quality is bar none, the hardware interface is intuitive and well thought out and it's just generally a really neat little package. Looks great on my desk.

I really love the concept of the unison preamps and plugging into a Fender amp feels like nothing I've ever quite experienced when plugging directly into an interface. And that's not to mention the wealth of other preamps at your disposal.

My only disappointment, which is on me, I should have researched more, is that I was immediately surprised by how far one core would go. Especially when using the more CPU intensive plug ins, like that Fender amp, which pushes it almost to capacity and leaves me with few other options in the chain. I mean, I couldn't have afforded the twin anyway, but I would definitely say if you're worried about that kinda thing, to look into what you'll be wanting to use first and their core utilisation.

Otherwise an incredible product, which I'm certain will not be my last.
