 Hardware and Software are good, Support and GuitarPortOnline have issues July 9, 2009

Hardware and Software
Make sure you download the latest Gearbox and Line Monkey from Line6.
The GuitarPort hardware and Gearbox software work great on my HP TX2010us running 64bit Vista Home Prem. It rocks in "Portrait" mode and most functions even work with the touch screen (some elements are to small), it does not work so well in "Landscape" because the widescreen is not tall enough.
I have used it through headphones and plugged into my home stereo and it works great.
Companion Website
The companion website has lots of songs and you can download the tones, tabs and music. Provided you are not a total newbe, this feature seems awesome, although I would expect a lot more content and better organization given how long this product has been out.
[for the newbe like me, read on]
The "10 Free Lessons" mentioned on the box seem to have gone missing. I found up to Chapter 4, part 2 and then nothing. These chapters worked really well and demonstrated what this kind of interactive content could do. Given that, I tried to find songs listed for "Beginner" but they are still more difficult than chapter 4 part 2 power chords set me up for. Looking at the search results gives only a basic indication of difficulty, so I spent hours downloading stuff I had no chance at playing.
If this was my only resource for learning how to play guitar, I would be completely discouraged at this point. It just leads you down this golden path where you see exciting progress to a washed out bridge that seems uncrossable.
Given the cost of the monthly for online access, I am going to let the free 30 day trial run out and utilize another website to get me from newbe to GuitarPort "beginner" and then maybe come back when I am good enough to make use of it.

Support
I have also emailed support and posted questions regarding the online content to the Line6 community that have gone unanswered.

I really enjoy this product. I recently graduated from college and don't have a large amount of money to spend on EFX pedals and amps, so I bought this.
I have decent computer speakers so it works well for me, otherwise you could use headphones if your speakers aren't that great.
I would purchase again! Great for a beginner with no gear, but not the same quality and power as an amp.

Absolutely love it. The instantaneous tones are incredible sounding and easy to select, the tracks are great and plentiful, with new ones added seemingly every week. Lessons, master classes with master shredders, Riffworks add-on for recording (separate purchase), new tones, AND the setup was painless.
The only thing I find irritating, is Windows Vista's driver support. If I flood the system with extra I/O, I get a lot of static bursts. I'm sure it will be fixed eventually, Service Pack, or updated motherboard drivers, but it's worth noting. Either way, if you're aware of it, and have a decent rig, it'll be your new jamming home.
The GuitarPort is just too damn simple and sexy to not own. It really is everything they say it is.
Great piece of equipment December 4, 2007

This is a wonderful and CHEAP addition to anyones electric guitar equipment arsenal. Every single guitarist with a computer should own this, as it enhances the simplicity of recording and practicing guitar riffs for only 100 bucks. I've done a bit of recording in my past, and I've found that it is SO much easier to lay down a nice sounding guitar track using the Guitarport as opposed to recording a real amplifier. It's quick, and sounds as good - in some instances (depending on your microphone, amp, mixer/effects, and room acoustics) it sounds BETTER than anything you could do otherwise.
For those who just want a good practice tool, the Guitarport is a great way to learn the sound of different types of amplifiers, how to work with tone control (equalization), and the sounds of different effects. There simply is no cheaper and practical way to do this than with a Guitarport. Also, since jamming along with good song mp3's is a must for learning guitar, using the jam-along feature in Guitarport is excellent. Or you can do what I do - play from my itunes playlist while Guitarport software is running.
It seems that there is now a "Toneport" that may be a better buy than this (I don't know much about it), but I must say that besides buying the Guitar itself, this Guitarport was the most worthwhile purchase I made as a learning guitarplayer. I would recommend it to anyone who plays the electric guitar.
Its a great little item, but... August 8, 2007

OK, the positives everyone already knows. Its a nice little device. Great tone, etc etc.
The bads:
I sometimes get this 'clicking' noise, its as if the signal is disconnected and immediately reconnects. The Line 6 help forum didnt help either. Sometimes it happens a lot, and sometimes it doesnt happen at all.
A couple of months ago I went to the website to find some help about this and honestly wat they suggested didnt help much. My concerns were shared by many users too, as there were many negative comments there. I've just rechecked the same page just now, all the negative (yet true) comments have been deleted... Ouch!! Secrets out.
So i guess, some who got lucky and dont get this problems are.... mmm lucky!!???
All in all its a great item, but its also got its flaws. but on the good side, its CHEAP!! thats y i bought it hehe... on ebay :P
Oh yeah the Guitar Port Online is cool!!... if u live in UK or the USA that is... coz the only way to cancel the subscription is to call the UK and the USA Line 6 offices, no online cancellation... And if you want to connect your Line 6 Pod XT to the same online subscription... you cant, you will have to make another subscription for your Pod XT, you cant use your Guitar Port account.
But as i said, its cheap! and its got an array of very very very cool noises.
3 stars for me
