Hi all,
The above audio interface plugs directly into your guitar and then into your PC via USB. I appreciate that it has only just been released at the latest NAMM, but I wonder whether anyone has yet had the opportunity to use it with PT and if so was recording satisfactory. If the VOX and PT are compatible then, at a cost of around £50 for the VOX, it provides an economical solution for recording audio in PT.
I am seeking feedback on the VOX with PT because, from previous posts, some will recall that I have been unable to get PT to work with my IK StealthPedal interface. I have consequently now recently started using Cakewalk Sonar X3 as my DAW with StealthPedal with no problems. However, I like PT for its intuitive setup and ease of use and would like to be also able to use PT as an alternative to Sonar if I can find a suitable audio interface, such as the VOX, at a reasonable price. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.
I am using Windows 7 [64 Bit] on a PC with an Intel Core I5 4670K processor and 16GB RAM.
Regards,
Peter J

All of my ASIO drivers have worked great with PT. even my apparently native Behri USB 202, which I use for turntable/cassette captures, works amazingly well. I find little/no difference between PTPA and other DAWS (and I have a scad of PC-based ones installed). That being said, I don't have any direct experience with the new Vox USB AmPlugs. I'm guessing they're more interface than headphone amp. I would assume that it would have to come with amp/cab/efx plugins to be competitive with other offerings---does it?
I do have the standard Vox Acoustic AmPlug which I give a lot of use because it is a convenient practice tool and it does it's two sounds (clean and acoustic sim) reasonably well, with a minimal amount of hardware and wire.

Hi Paj,
Thank you for your reply.
I believe that the amPlug I/O is almost identical to your Acoustic amPlug except that it has a USB computer connection for feeding guitar audio into the PC. Other than a UTube video I have not seen an amPlug in use so I am seeking information as to performance, sound quality and compatibility with PTracks [and/or RBand]. Details of the amPlug I/O can be seen on the VOX website.
I recently ugraded my PC from XP to Windows 7 [64Bit] and because of complications involved in transferring my Audigy Platinum soundcard/audio interface to W7 I am left without an audio interface on the W7 PC which will work with PT/RB. I have an IK Multimedia Stealth Pedal which was purchased, at around £200, as an upgrade from the Audigy and as a controller for Amplitube and this works fine with Cubase and my recently purchased Cakewalk Sonar X3/Artist but will not work with PowerTracks. I am therefore looking for an inexpensive interface to connect with PT and wish to be certain before purchase that the interface is compatible with PowerTracks --- I wish to avoid wasting money on a further non-compatible audio interface. Hence my interest in the Vox amPlug I/O and also, you may have seen from my other post, the Focusrite Scarlett Solo. Presently I am leaning towards the Focusrite but need some feedback for both interfaces before proceeding.
I find PowerTracks to be an easy logical DAW to work with and this is why I am looking for a second economical interface to be dedicated to PT so it is frustrating to not be able to easily resolve compatibility doubts.
