The UX8 has a lot things that could attract guitarists who want to record their whole group, including the drummer. On both the software end ( Gearbox is a success) and the hardware end ( the preamps and converters give good value for the money), Line 6 has pulled all the stops and will surely make the competitors a little nervous with their aggressive pricing (usually around 549€ ). The only flaw comes from its visual aspect which won't be to the liking of everyone (at least not to mine) and its cheap flimsy knobs.

To sum up, UX8 is a very complete solution for guitarists/home studio owners who want to try recording and produce everything themselves.
