Anyone tried these?

Looks like a no/low fuss solution at a reasonable price.

Does it perform well, though? Or is the quality going to be no different to jacking straight into your mic port?

I'm not after true pro-quality, just something I can plug into the lap-top and use to capture bits of noodling with. I've found going into the mic (via a Tascam bass-trainer) to be pretty rubbish - so if this is going to get me a better sound then I might just go for it...

Anyone got one? Any opinions?

Ta!

I've got a Line6 UX1. it cost £100 and its awesome. you get quality pro sounds out of it. there are effects, amp simulators, you can set a theoretical mike distance from a cab to get a roomy tone, etc. you get riffworks and another recording package. suitable for noodling. but i got sequel2 for £80 and you can do pro sounding stuff. need a min gig of ram on computer tho or you get latency issues. but for total of £180 its awesome. however like you said, if your just noodling the £100 for the UX1 will sort ya. Dawsons stock it

wow. that answered his question.

Jokes, I'd stay away from it. it looks a bit cheap and not great. Though i have to say that line 6 do some great cheap audio interfaces as said above.
