Too much background noise, and non-ASIO driver makes it a pain to use.
Dean Elianto 22.01.2018
Poor audio quality and driver issues makes this hard to recommend, unless you only want to record quick snippets of sounds.

Cons:

High noise level, and poor signal-to-noise ratio makes it unusable to use with 'higher-gain' amp simulation, and there is no hardware level gain control makes it impossible to adjust for better SNR.

Plug-n-play concept means that you have to use ASIO4ALL driver to have an acceptable latency for live monitoring (a must if you are playing through amp simulation), this is no problem for experienced user, but for beginners it is definitely a challenge. Using ASIO4ALL also makes it impossible to have other audio source playing at the same time from the computer. Using WindowsAudio yields much greater latency. Note that this applies only to Windows, I have not tested on MAC.

No dedicated output means that latency is increased, as well as more complication in software level, sample rates has to be matched to have live monitoring, and this is not beginner friendly.

Pros:

Price point. No other AD converter comes close to this price level.

In conclusion, I can not recommend this product, the poor noise level, and software complication makes this product very hard to use.

Not bad but neither good!
Cedric aus S. 18.03.2014
First: this cord/interface does what it is supposed to do. It works as an plug n play interface and changes your 1/4" input signal into an digital signal, which you can apply to any programm you want.

Handling is very nice! Real plug and play, nothing to install (i use windows vista!)

There arent really any Features, so I dont know what to write about. Everything listed in the discribtion also works.

The quality is OK. The Cord is relatively slim and doesnt really appeal too strong, but for studio use and if you are a little bit careful, it will be allright!

BUT: the Sound isnt too good! It tends to have a continous, high frequent hiss or hum in everything i record. No matter if its an instrument played directly into the Computer or any Effects pedal between or any 1/4" output i tried to record from!

If the sound would be as good as the handling, it would be THE best product i ever bought. But this cord really isnt worth more than it costs. If you want to record easily, and dont mind having a bit of noise in your recording, try it. If you lay more claim to your tone, dont buy such a cheap device!

Humming Sound!
Falcão 04.10.2017
Absolutely NOT made to be used in gigs.
There is a sort of light humming sound when you plug it into Guitar Rig.

This product is not bad in comparison to other brands, but if u want good sound with USB for a fair price, try a audio interface.
You can also play gigs with one.

It is good thou, for those who want to go around only with a guitar and a computer, so you can compose stuff.

Plug in and play

I bought his to get a guitar signal into my laptop. It's very cheap for this kind of lead. It's not amazing quality but it's good enough, plug it in and you have your instrument routed to your laptop software, simple.

Though it's very easy to use, the problem is there's no software included, and if you try to use it instead of microphone there's significant delay.

Not bad, but not good either
Anonymous 03.03.2017
The 1G has its uses, but the main flaw is that its not shielded - any electrical current will make it hum (and the the pleasant one, like amps, more like annoying fly). It has good (but not great) sound. I gave it to my friend and he likes it, but I won't use it for sure.

Not for a serious user
Anonymous 03.03.2014
It is a simple DAC, good for starters but it get noisy even at small volume in tools like guitar rig or similar.

For the first tryout of a studio-in-a-pc may be good enough but i suggest to take something better.
