Summary: works well
Comment: I have not had the problems other posters have had. The ASIO driver that comes with the ucg102 works well with the guitar combo filters. (yes the website does exist to get one of the guitar combos to unlock forever). If you have problems with the device first read this section of the readme file of the driver:
3. IMPORTANT NOTES:
-------------------
-> Driver will be installed ONLY on USB port where your hardware is connected while installation!

-> After installation ALL other audio drivers are blocked on this USB port!

-> For using different drivers: Connect your USB audio hardware to a different USB port.

-> Alternative drivers which work fine with the named hardware products:
Win XP only: ASIO2KS (from the BEHRINGER U-CONTROL Download page)
Win XP + Vista: ASIO4ALL (see providers homepage)

This being said I am able to get this device to work with Audacity(one of the programs that comes with the device) just by plugging into another USB port. Also I have used the ASIO4ALL driver which eliminates the need to unplug the devices when switch between Audacity and the guitar combo application.

Summary: Great Idea, Terrible product.
Comment: If something looks to good to be true, it probably is. I was very excited when I bought this item, being into recording using programs such as cubase 4, hypersonic and protoolz etc. I thought this would be a welcome edition to use along side my midi keyboard.

Boy was I disappointed, the compatibility with this little item is terrible, whether you have a Mac, windows Xp windows Vista, it doesn't matter, it's more of a hassle than its worth. You can not get it to work properly on Cubase using a top of the line mac, even after trying to install the asio drivers countless times. I have also had to reinstall the drivers and restart my computer every time I wanted to use the software it comes with on my Desktop computer.

It just is not worth the money or time, wait a bit for something more polished, I'm sure in a few months there will be one out there 10x more efficient than this.

2 stars was being generous.

Summary: Tons of Features for the Price
Comment: I bought this for my father, who has been playing in bands for 30 years. He was really impressed with the full feature set this cool little tool provides. He has recorded in studio many times and was impressed with the production quality you can get with the available software. The digital amp effects sound fantastic and just like the real thing. The multi track editing and recording software are fairly easy to use as well even for novices and computer illiterates. I plan on getting one for myself.

Summary: Cheap Equipment - Costs more in the long run
Comment: This is the most frustrating purchase I have made in 3 years. The software does not start at all on windows 2k. On XP it starts but does not work. The interface does not work on either platform.

Do not buy this piece of junk. Save your money and don't try to get by on the cheap. You will end up having to buy a real interface anyway - one with support!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Do NOT waste your money!
Comment: Absolutely awful product. No support except for useless help manuals. If you are looking to plug in a guitar to your comp and record tracks, you are out of luck. It just doesnt do that, not from anything I have tried. The native instruments guitar pack would be nice, but the website you click on to register for which free pack you want doesn't even exist! It doesnt matter anyway because the Audacity program doesn't do anything.

Just an absolute rip off. I can honestly say, I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in a product.
