Great product

I returned a previously ordered AXE Solo + Amplitube 5 bundle in favor of this one, mainly for the fact that this one is bundled with Amplitube Max. Everything works great. I remove one star from the features for the following reason: In the Solo, the two inputs (Guitar on the front and line in at the back) work independently as two separate sources, so it's effectively a two input interface. I was expecting that the big brother works in the same way, effectively giving 4 independent inputs, but the AXE I/O differs from the solo in that for each input you can either use the front OR the back but not both together. Effectively this means that the only thing you get more than the solo is that both inputs can be guitar inputs or line inputs. The other thing is that the z-tone, JFET and Active/Passive selectors are for both guitar inputs simultaneously.
Effectively, the only thing you gain with this is that you get two sets of outputs at the back and the tuner (which is indeed useful). To me, the preset selector is fiddly and doesn't really have a purpose.
Since this bundle costs less than the Solo + Upgrade to Max, it's still a no brainer, provided that you are after the max version.

Couldn't get a good sound :(

I ordered this audio interface after reading multiple reviews online. The package promises endless options - tons of amps, effects and cab simulations, lots of applications for recording and a killer audio interface tailored for guitar players.
Unfortunately, this didn't work to me at all - I have a new gaming desktop (12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700F 2.10 GHz, 32GB ram, running Windows 11) but I couldn't get this interface to give me a clean sound without lots of cracks and pops. This was very frustrating. I tried to tweak every parameter possible and followed every online guide to no avail. Tried to isolate the problem, different guitars, different cables, different power outlet, different connections - nada. I ended up returning it...

I can finally stop looking for THAT tone and just play!

Between the hardware and the software, it's astonishing value for the price point, especially considering you're getting AT5 MAX!

Excellent!

Perfect combination of hardware and software, amazing sounds from Amplitube 5. The JFET preamp and the tone shaping Z KNOB are the best features of AXE I/O. AMP OUT takes this audio interface to another level. Highly recommended : )
