LeeWalker Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hi All I am an age old user of the Guitarport, i have been using it for many MANY years (at least 9). Anyway, i was thinking of upgrading to something newer, I notice that there is the UX1 and UX2. I wouldn't be doing any vocals etc so the UX1 is probably what i require. As far as tone is concerned, is there more by upgrading. I see that the UX1 comes with Pod Farm 2, i already use Pod Farm 1 but just wondering what effects etc i would get by upgrading. Any one care to chip in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigChas52 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The only difference between PF1 and PF2 is that with PF2 you can put the effects in any order. No additional effects unless you purchase the model packs, which could also be used with PF1. There is no difference in tone between GuitarPort and UX.

Brazzy Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I still have the UX2, I understand you don't do vocals but you still may want the ability to use the mic for other purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeWalker Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Sounds like not much reason to change really, i was hoping for more effects but if you have to buy the model packs then :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The POD Studio UX1 and UX2 do come with the the FX Junkie Model pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeWalker Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Awesome I have a X3 Live so i would normally (if i ever had to) do vocals through that tbh. I am now thinking UX1 :) Good times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If you have an X3 Live you already have the plug-in version of POD Farm 1 with all the model packs when using the X3 as a dongle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeWalker Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Problem is that using the X3 is a bit of a pain in a desktop situation sadly, One thing i need to ask about the UX1 is that i use my computers (good but not studio monitors) speakers, with the guitarport the unit itself is used as an external sound card with the speakers connected to the guitarport and the guitarport connected to the Mac via a headphone cable, is this the same set up on the UX1 (i think i need a small to large adapter going in the headphone socket on the front).

Brazzy Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I use a 1/4 to 1/8 adapter for the headphones all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 The setup is the same. But if you are connecting your speakers directly to the GuitarPort, there is no need to connect the Headphones to your Mac, unless I am understanding something.
