It does what it's suppose to, but there's not much to it. It's made of all plastic; it feels very hollow and cheap. The Peavey logo lights up when plugged which, which looks pretty neat. The main problem is that the volume control on the side does not control the output level, but just the monitoring level of headphones/line out. I found that to be a pretty important factor missing from the Xport. Noise and latency were pretty minimal, especially considering the price of the interface. Another thing I didn't like about it is the ReValver HPse that came with the device. It only comes with two amps, the ValveKing, the 3120, and a very small number of effects. Even the free demo version of ReValver has more features. This interface is very small and very basic, but I wouldn't use it for anything more than simple demos for recording riffs at home.

Really awful. Get the Apogee Jam, have less noise and higher quality. This guy broke the day I bought it, it just stopped working.

I installed this device on 3 different mac computers according to the instructions and it does not function on any of my macs. I called Peavey support twice and each time was asked to leave a message in vmail. No one ever returned my calls after 3 weeks. I am an IT professional by day and a studio owner by night. I setup software and hardware all day long and half the night. The mac drivers seem to not function. When Peavey does not respond to my messages that explained the issues, pretty much tells me the shizzle does not work as advertised. I've used Peavey products over the years and love them. This thing is crap for mac!!!

I bought this to start using guitar software (Overloud, Amplitube, etc.) on my pc. Simple setup using the line level output to active studio monitors. When I first tried it, it sounded great. Crystal clear interface. After about 3 hours of play time, I noticed a crackling and humming noise in my speakers when I was playing the guitar. A high pitched whine also started coming from my pc when this thing is plugged into it. It wasn't very loud and it was difficult to tell where it was coming from at first. I unplugged the Xport and it stopped. Plugged it back into a different port and it started again. Very weird. I tried other USB devices in the same ports with no issues. I swapped all the cables out to make sure that wasn't the problem. Even plugged my guitar into an amp to make sure it didn't have wiring issues. It looks like this thing is just another overpriced, low quality piece of junk. Build quality is lacking too, cheap plastic. Maybe it's a fluke, but I'm not going to waste my time trying another one. Had it for four days and I'm in the process of returning it. Now looking for something higher quality.

This is noisier than I had hoped. Also, it constantly drops audio, even with max buffer settings. This is on two different PC's, so I know the device is at fault. My Scarlett 2i2 works flawlessly, and isn't that much larger, so I guess I'll stick to that.

My setup Win7 64-bit, Guitar Rig 5, Sonar X1. Self-built desktop, Lenovo X230 laptop.

I'll try again after a fresh install of Windows, but I don't anticipate any changes.

I wish the Apogee Jam worked on Windows.
