The stuff I like:The usual excellent Audient converters sound great, very transparent. Having the valve w/ preamp and EQ section is a nice touch. VERY low latency (using USB C). Good, clean headphone amp. The Two Notes cabs are useful but do not blow me away. I do like having a dedicated bass cab.Stuff that could be better:If you think this will be a standalone guitar unit, think again. You will need a real guitar pre to make this sound good. The Two Notes cab interface is not intuitive. The valve preamp is very subtle. It does not push this to any type of creamy overdrive. Good as an add, does not work as a standalone pre.I run a variety of Neural DSP plug-ins which make most of the guitar focused add-ons on this unit somewhat redundant (as in ALL the NDSP ... MoreThe stuff I like:The usual excellent Audient converters sound great, very transparent.

This is the first home-recording equipment I have used for electric guitar that actually inspires me to play. The tube is not just a decoration; it's vital for the realism, sustain and touch-sensitivity it brings to the guitar experience in a home recording situation!Once I got the hang of adding the presets to the onboard Torpedo CAB modeling, the tool really opens up. Not only is it a great Audient recording interface, but disconnect it from USB and it's a standalone tube guitar preamp! Now, you can have real tube saturation and realistic CAB modeling played through powered speakers, making an outstanding pedal platform in addition to handling recording chores. while most VSTS or digital modelers sound like they're being played on the radio, the Sono is the ... MoreThis is the first home-recording equipment I have used for electric guitar that actually inspires me to play.

This product is good because the padding is extremely thick ensuring protection of the guitar. Fitting is additionally perfect. If I check out the worth of this product it's the simplest price that i can find in India.

If you play guitar/bass and you produce buy this!

It is without a doubt the best you can buy at this price point, it has more features than anything else on the market. It has professional grade audient pre amps, it's expandable up to 10 inputs, it's a reamp box, a tube pre amp, it can record and playback at 96k, it's built like a tank AND it comes with some of the best amp simulation software on the market. You can save your favourite cabinets into the device so you don't even have to touch your computer at all and it has onboard DSP so you can work latency free. Not only that but it works stand alone without a daw so you can essentially use this as a pedal. Its also has a hidden feature, it a class compliant device so it works with android and iOS. Do yourself a favour and get one. This thing is a beast!

Review of Audient Sono Guitar Recording Audio Interface With Valve Preamp

Very useful! Good quality sound card with latency free two notes cabinets. It is pretty easy to dial in the amount of drive for a clean crunch or sparkle. Add pedals in front and it also sounds good. The mic inputs are good quality too.
