I have since switched back to Linux, none of it works for me here, and nobody I know can get it to work lately either. Either it hasn't been updated in a long time or just only supports a narrow range of OS/Driver combinations. For Windows, I have personally not re-tested it (some of the people I've spoken with claim it does not, not sure if that is legit for everyone).

(Please Remember the Date of this Entry, this applies to Mar 2022 only):
First off, using it online via login does not work for me. It works fine in the 'demo' page, and also the app itself does work when installed via the chrome store. But not, i repeat, not the web based version (after login via twitter, it says logging in via facebook is not supported).
Now for the app itself pros:
* instant usability
*easy to use GUI
*supports line-input
*and (big plus) allows for sampling from one device and output on another (for those of us who use more than just a single sound device)
*on cloud storing of presets
cons:
-(big minus) latency is low, but not terrible (i get about 10msec on single card, 15 when signal is going to a different card)
- web version doesn't always work
- rather small effect pool
- does not work in edge (dragging and dropping of pedals is broken, at the time of this writing)
- does not recognize dark mode, so in dark mode it looks like machines are on when they are off
- documentation would be nice
should you try it? yes, your card might perform better than my cards did
can you use it for live performances? no, you need 5 or less latency (ms) for that, trust me.
but you can still use it to practice when you dont have your rack, so its pretty decent for that (unfortunately most tablets and phones dont have a line-in jack, so you will need to get a 3-way connector for your phone that splits mic/spk to separate input plugs
Needs more effects,..And EQ.. And ppl who don't know..You must have some kind of interface (preferably) for better quality..But Chargersrok52 is correct..A rocksmith playstation 3 cord works fine.Its plug and play and loads it's own driver...But only the PS3 Rockstar Cord works..The PS4 cord,has a funky connection...I have both,so just letting those know,who need tO know.Because they don't know..(couldn't stop the flow,so I let it,...well,,Flow) ha
