"There's a POD Studio perfect for every application," remarks David Dolan, Line 6 Product Marketing Manager. "And combined with POD Farm, our premium POD tone plug-in, each one will revolutionize the way guitarists record -- just like the original POD."

Each member of the POD Studio family features a rock-solid USB hardware interface, 44.1/48 kHz 16-/24-bit recording and plenty of other pro differences including lowest noise for recording guitar -- outperforming similar interfaces by 12 dB -- and exclusive Line 6 ToneDirect(TM) monitoring that virtually eliminates latency while recording with amp and effect modeling.

UX2 offers two 1/4-inch guitar inputs (one normal, one pad), two balanced XLR inputs with preamps and phantom power, S/PDIF digital output and a pair of assignable VU meters.

From sought-after vintage amps to modern studio standards and Line 6 originals, each POD Studio comes complete with POD Farm plug-in delivering over 50 immortal guitar and bass amps and cabs, 29 crucial studio and stompbox effects and 6 pro mic preamps in convenient Mac(R) AU/RTAS(R)/VST(R) and Windows(R) RTAS(R)/VST(R) formats. Its carousel-style interface and drag-and-drop signal flow are simple and intuitive. And, above all, it produces inspired, great sounding recordings. Plus, Line 6 FX Junkie Model Pack, adding another 30 effect models including synths, filters, delays, and more to POD Farm, is available as a free download from line6.com with purchase of POD Studio UX1, and POD Studio UX2.
