Any recommendations for a good audio interface for guitarists around $200?
I’m personally interested in the Audient iD14 MkII, but I’m having a hard time deciding between it and other popular options like MOTU, SSL, and Focusrite.
Which one would you recommend for guitar?
I’m the person who posted recently asking whether I should get the Ampero II Stomp or the HeadRush Flex Prime.
I was leaning toward the HeadRush, but I recently saw a comment saying that the HeadRush has a “nasal” or “pinched-nose” sound.
I previously used a BOSS GX-10, but I sold it because I didn’t really like its somewhat muffled/dull sound. Another reason was that other multi-effects units had started supporting NAM, while the GX-10 does not.
So now I’m wondering: if the HeadRush also has a somewhat muffled or nasal sound, would the Ampero II Stomp be a better choice for me?
I’ve also heard that the Ampero II Stomp has a relatively weak CPU and can run out of processing power pretty quickly. Is this something that could be improved with future firmware updates, or is it ultimately limited by the hardware?
I’ve heard that the Ampero II has a clearer and more open sound. Would that be a better fit for someone who prefers a clear, detailed digital tone?
If you’ve used either of these units, I’d really appreciate your thoughts and experiences.
Also, if there are any other good multi-effects/modelers available around $600, I’d love to hear your recommendations!
Japanese user here, so I’m using a translator. Sorry if my English sounds unnatural!
I use a BOSS GX-10. I recently tried NAM A2 on PC and was blown away by the sound, so I’m looking for a NAM-compatible unit.
I’m considering the Ampero II Stomp and HeadRush Flex Prime. The Ampero is very compact, but I’ve heard its CPU is weaker. Flex Prime seems to have a stronger CPU and better UI, but I don’t need the expression pedal.
I’ve also heard HeadRush has a strong low/mid range. I’m not sure about that because I think I prefer a very clear, detailed sound with a slightly digital character.
Which would you choose for sound, NAM, effects and processing power?
