I have it connected with my kali lp 6 and it sound great.
When I was reading reviews for this sound card everybody was talking about how good the preamps are and I wasn't convinced until I tried them myself and they do sound great indeed.
The gain knobs for analogue 1 and 2 inputs light up and gives an indication when it almost clips(yellow) and when it clips(red) these colors can be be changed through the Focusrite control software.
The analogue inputs 3 and 4 can be controlled though the software only they don't have a hardware controls.
The Phantom Power 48v Only exists for the 1 and 2 inputs
There is a pad for the 1 and 2 input that you can control through the software you also use the software to control whether the 1 and 2 inputs are line or instrument.
The big monitor knob works only for the 1 and 2 outputs the 3 and 4 outputs come out as unity gain (0db) so that's something I had to keep in mind of when I was calibrating my monitors.
Pros:
Great sounding pre amps
Great build quality you can take this to any gig without worries
midi in/out great for using with hardware synths or no DAW setups
Cons:
It would be really good if it had an indication of unity gain on the monitor control when everything is set to 0db on the software.
Other than that I don't see any other cons
Overall a great budget sound card I recommend!!

Regarding the sound, there is a CLEAR difference when plugging into the audio interface and when plugging into whatever soundcard you might have. Also, it drives 80 Ohm headphones without any issues, to get really satisfactory volume (a bit loud) seems to be at 60% of the volume dial (keep in mind, this is without any headphone amps) - at 100% it is blazing and too loud.
As I am a guitar player, I bought this audio interface exclusively because it had the "Pad" option, and having a guitar with Active pickups (EMGs), I didn't want to invest in an additional DI box etc - the "padding" does wonders and there is no clipping/distortion caused with the feature turned on. If you have a guitar with active pickups (especially hot ones like EMGs), I really recommend this audio interface.
I also use the t.bone M85 Beta microphone for either some "riff idea" recording or simply using the microphone during gaming. There have been many times where I was deliberately close to the microphone and was speaking in an... ASMRish voice and everyone in the Discord or game voice chat went "DUDE WTF" - the signal is clear and there is no clipping (once you play a bit with the knob).
Honestly, I cannot imagine NOT having an audio interface going forward and this little red thing spoiled me.

Its characteristics are very effective, connections, quality potentiometers, arquitectura just and necessary for the model, and elegant finish that decorates.
The included software is very good, intuitive, making clear the anchors and supervision of each connected instrument or microphone.

The product itself has a large amount of I/O, boasting two microphone pre-amps and a midi in and out. For the price I am happy with the scarlett's I/O.
Setting up the audio interface was quite simple, with instructions on how to connect and instrument to the interface and download the appropriate software being included. The instructions were succinct and clear.
In terms of the sound quality so far I have plugged in a Fender mustang and a Squier Jazz bass. The sound from both instruments is clear and overall I am very happy with the sound.
I am very happy with my purchase and overall I have no complaints.

The build quality is good. The interface has mettal chassis and a decent weight to it. The Amphenol XLR connectors are high quality and will last a long time.
However, when plugging the interface into a Thunderbolt port, there is a clear whine present in the signal and the recording. This is mitigated by plugging it into a USB port instead.

Low latency input, very good pre-amp controls, plus headset output with volume control.
When working on a DAW, with ASIO4ALL plugin, I can hear everything through my headsets, from the guitar, to videos on the web, etc.
Very practical. Recommend!

NOTE: After products arrived in my country I had to pay customs services which I had no idea about, read up about it, it might save you a few bucks.

Setup was incredibly easy and the new Focusrite Control Centre program is really clear and easy to use.

My first audio interface ever, and I am very pleased!
I plug both my guitar/bass and edrum set in, and make full use of this.

A great step up was adding the Air function to the mic preamps. The unit is nice, sturdy and compact and fits in every bag easily.
The converters are really good for the price. The preamps perform great. In this price range, the 4i4 is a great contender.
Cons are the fact that I cannot switch phantom power for each channel individually and that some functions are only switchable via the controller software. A hardware switch on the front of the unit would have been a better idea.
This interface will travel with me for work on the road, and I can finish things of on my main Pro Tools rig in my studio.
Nice job Focusrite!
