Ease of Use
:

The interface is designed very well. If you are not a master with effects, it can be a bit difficult to work with. I HIGHLY recommend reading the help file all the way through. That helps you figure out how to set things up to your taste.
Sound Quality
:

It isn't the best sound quality I have ever heard, but then again I don't use the best sound card either. When I plug into my mic input I get a lot of extra noise, but this is controlled by plugging into the Line In. The distortion can be a bit harsh if you don't take your time with the EQ and other settings, but in general it is pretty good. Oh, and incase you are curious I use a Jackson WRMG.
Reliability
:
No Opinion
The demo only works for 4 mins. at a time, and it would be pretty difficult to haul my whole PC with me to a gig, so I doubt I could judge on it's reliability in a live setting.

Overall Rating

I play mostly southern metal (think Pantera) and I can get away with using this for it. It is more of a toy to practice with, than to use live or record with. I suppose if I ever stumbled "The Tone" while using it, I would go out and get a laptop and load this thing onto it. Then I might carry it with me to gigs. I wouldn't put any high expectations on it. As I said, it is mostly a practice toy.
