Cool features for an interface. Definitely gotta hear more than these audio demos. Thanks PG! I love these spotlights and the rig rundowns.

[@whiskerbiscuit6674]

If I didn't already have an interface I'd totally get this one. That amp out is super useful. And the expression inputs is cool too although I don't use expression pedals.

[@djole02]

@9:50 It's NOT hi-z! It's 100 Ohms which is almost the same as line outputs. But it's much lower gain than line out and galvanicly isolated (which is what really matters).

[@nilsonbarbaro]

It's possible to use this interface with IPhone Amplitube 4, Garageband ou Bias FX, 1 channel before the preamp head and 2 channel after the preamp, in the effect loop, like 4 cable method ? Will have sound "Latency" problem ? I would like to replace my effects processor rack. Could you make a demonstration video ?

[@henkehakansson2004]

1. Can one control the Z knob on the front with CTrL Expression pedal? 2. Is the Line Input at the back made for both mono and stereo plugs? Like a telejack TRS plug? So one can record or track wih aux stereo units at the same time as the front input?

[@sergeev322]

Hello! Can you tell me how the interface will work without software (AmpliTube 4 Deluxe 10)? What can be used for free to work with the interface without software?

THE PLOSIVES

[@LA3DP]

Lol seriously!!!! Trying to sell an interface and the guy doesn’t even have a screen, sock, pantyhose, literally so many options!

[@vvtt1823]

What is the round trip delay of Axe IO?

[@johnmiller9219]

does the solo have the same chipset as the bigger unit. Same audio quality, latency?

[@huambo]

Hello. Does this unit act as your primary sound card also? I.e if I plug in my headphones will I be hearing system sounds too, and games etc? My Line 6 Ux2 does this, but I'm unsure whether that's a feature of all audio interfaces.

[@edonosocl]

Hi, is this worth for bass guitar players?. Haven’t seen any video demoing bass guitars so just wondering if this in mainly a guitar focused interface. Thanks.

[@MarioHernandez-zc7dv]

Yes, it works just fine with a bass

[@blown503]

Can you hear this through your computer speakers or do you have to use your amp?

[@YAWN....]

Use it through your computer speakers or better yet, use monitor or PA speakers. You could also connect to amp etc...

[@RelaxTV4k]

Get a pop filter!

[@brentmoreland8613]

Can't listen to the guy without a windscreen. He can't hear that?

[@henkehakansson2004]

Hint: The man with the guitars voice is terribly out of sync as his guitar playing. But not the announcer.... latency issues perhaps...? ;-)

[@w1third]

That was awful intro tone, sad because it was direct from the company rep 🤷🏽‍♂️🤡

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

My thoughts exactly.

[@ikmultimedia]

You guys might want to check out some of our other examples more focused on the software and tone if the examples here didn't hit well for you. Here are two other walk-through videos using AXE I/O SOLO and AmpliTube. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6PSgoesi5dnbLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6TGq2iJnZirjcU

[@Burnt_Gerbil]

Dude, use a pop filter 🤦‍♂️

[@notlimited214]

I'm yet convinced this company is nothing more than an elite prototype for trust fund babies, who couldn't tell you who Randy Rhoads is and believes Hendrix was a flop! This product was released announced at Namm 2020 in January, but hasn't even been physically available for two full months. Yet there are easily less than five demos of any talented guitarists using it! This has to be worst time in musical history...fake gear companies, hiring fake musicians, to influence more real money. What a terrible game plan...to NEVER follow.

[@anaa7718]

sounds like you want the job

[@ikmultimedia]

I’m not sure who you’re talking to, but we can definitely tell you who Randy Rhoads is and we're certainly not what you think we are 😊 🤘 We are also pretty familiar with Jimi Hendrix, and we’d disagree he’s a flop. Hendrix was (and still is) both an important innovator and legend when it comes to both playing and the tone world. To get the sounds from AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix, we worked closely with the estate, to make sure it was just right. We're a team built of musicians and engineers, read more here: www.ikmultimedia.com/about-us/ I'm not sure where you got the impression, we're fake or our musicians are fake. We worked a lot with Joe Satriani on the original AXE I/O as well as his version of AmpliTube. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYPCd2dvZdlreac&app=desktop There are also many other great musicians we work with and we do hope to help change your opinion on us. We'd love to hear from you directly to see what happened here and why you came to this conclusion.

[@notlimited214]

@@anaa7718 Actually no. It just doesn't make much sense for a nationally marketed musical gear company to linger around all these years, but hardly deliver the end user anything truly worth owning. Outside of sample tank software and the IOS related gear...Lackluster says it all! Who makes a drum machine with all the sound capabilities of something from the late eighties and commit the pads and do zero promo on it? There's not one reputable demo of that flop anywhere. At least get it in the hands of a decent programmer!

[@notlimited214]

@@ikmultimedia Again, outside of the sample tank software and IOS related gear, your answers for releasing compelling, must have hardware products have gone unanswered. In most recent history would be the drum toy without pads, and both of the guitar interfaces. You guys don't have five solid videos on the Solo box and all of your Namm coverage was done with extremely underwhelming guitar players. When I saw the Satriani co sign, I was shocked. He surely doesn't need you guys, but a check is yet a check🥱. Anyway, I'm a consumer that enjoys buying gear on the cutting edge and gear that is both marketed and represented well. I haven't seen these areas done on a level that says, you're making a great product worth those refinements. Naming great players of legend and adding them as patch names isn't a full representation of a full commitment to quality overall. You guys have barely even mentioned the new Solo interface since Namm this year and have continued to live stream with the older one as if the Solo was never released. Just not consistent! Covid-19 cannot be the blame for everything 2020! Akai used to utilize this same business model...by claiming they had a game changer release... Only to replace it 10 to 12 months later... Then when the game changer finally comes it's usually overpriced, out of stock or both. All I'm saying is, stop allowing the engineer nerds and the stock holders grand children to participate in the live streams or the demos... And go out and find some real guitar players to represent the brand.

Sounds bad 👎

[@ikmultimedia]

Check out some of our other audio examples here where we focused on dialing in tones from scratch using the same gear. We focused heavily in on the sounds here and these might give you a more complete picture of what you can achieve quickly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6PSgoesi5dnbLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6TGq2iJnZirjcU

[@TheDizzack]

@@ikmultimedia why, it'll probably sound bad?

[@anaa7718]

there are other tones..

[@ikmultimedia]

@@TheDizzack Tone is subjective and you might find something that more suites your style in the other videos. I'm not sure if you're into metal sounds, or clean sounds, but these two videos cover a couple different ones. We also have some other great reviews from third parties which might hit for you a bit better. I was just hoping to help get you get a full view of what this thing can do. It's a pretty interesting piece of gear and we've seen a lot of interest. If you're a metal fan, the super group BPMD used the AXE I/O, the larger version of this interface (with the same sound) on their latest album. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYPdhWmMhbGDn9U

[@henkehakansson2004]

Choose another amp sim then. It hasn't got anything to do with the interface. S-gear sounds great for example.

[@danielnourry1414]

Any chance you'd do a review of IK Multimedia AXE I/O Solo vs Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 & 4i4? I ask because this excellent video made halt my process of trying to decide between the 2i2 and 4i4. Even maybe just a comment? Thanks in advance.

[@anhedonia0]

Hey, I sold my focusrite 4i4 3rd gen after doing a comparison of both. The latency on both units are practically the same. Also the preamps, di have a very low floor noise on the axe solo and is way better then the focusrite.
