XSONIC XTONE Pro: Professional Smart Audio Interface

GM Brett. Thanks for keeping us senior players both challenged and informed with all this techno magic. If only I had this years ago. My first reverb was bathroom tile! LOL. How far we have come...amazing. best wishes for good health to you and yours and to all those great folks following this channel.

Nice Price! $249

Thanks a lot Brett, what kind of monitor do you use with this kind of set ?

One question: do you experience latency with this setup?

can this work with a microphone for vocals? good if i can use it for vocals plugin on mac for live use

Would any expression pedal like M-Audio EX-P, Boss EV-5, Line 6 EX-1 work with this hardware and would it be able to interface with say Bias FX and change the volume on Preset 1 and work like a wah on Preset 2?

Hi Brett, Please, does the Xtone Pro include some free software with the product? Thx

Great product but guitar stuff is becoming so involved. I can't be bothered hooking everything up, learning how to use it all then trying to get sounds i like !! I always just come back to a simple amp and pedals.

The biggest disappointment of this unit is it doesn’t do power pass-through to the iOS device, it only works the other way, the device powering the Xtone. To a greater extent it make using an external power supply for the xtone a little pointless and means you will also need a powered USB hub. All of a sudden what looks compact and simple requires more add ons.

For anyone still considering buying one of these units do NOT do it!, they're actually on sale on their website as they have major design flaws that they don't intend to correct, their Xsonic facebook group and page censors any criticism to these units, their AD conversion has fixed limiters and HPF, their MIDI switches send MIDI commands only at the RELEASE of the switch making them unusable for any precision commands like tap tempo, loopers, etc. their CC for expression pedal skips data, it doesn't send 0-127 but skips every 8 steps (sends values of 0-8-16-24-32 etc.) so you'll get a "jumping" effect when you assign the CC to Volume or any other fine expression control, AVOID the Xsonic products!

Does anyone know it the Soundcard is essential or can the L & R output go direct to those pre amps or Amp? Any help much appreciated. And any long term reviews?

Hi Brett. I live in Brisbane. If you are only using this unit as a demo, would you be interested in on selling it? Thanks mate.

what about the latency? i can feel notable latency while using scarlett solo and running it into a desktop pc through guitar rig 6
