Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen

I just wanted a simple audio interface so I could connect and power the headphones (it should handle up to 200 ohms of impedance) and maybe put in a mic in the future, and Solo works fine for my needs. The build is solid and sturdy, knobs feel satisfying and it comes with a bunch of softwares and plugins, which are nice if you ever use them. However that Focusrite Control app is completely useless; most of the time it doesn't even launch and when it opens, there is absolutely nothing in there. Also, from what I see, there is only a knob to control the volume of both headphones and speakers, so it may be a downer for some.

For a bedroom guitarist like me, Focusrite provides versatility and ability to experiment with various guitar tones without the need of spending tons of money on amplifiers.
It was easy to get a grasp of it and understand all features. I wish the inputs were multifunctional like in the better versions though.
I can't be 100% sure about the sound. It might be my guitar who's at fault or the interface itself but a few EQ tweaks definetely solved the problem.
No scratches. All shiny straight from the box. Using it for a year and can say that it is probably difficult to do some visible damage, so the price/quality ratio is incredible.

The set up was extremely easy. Focusrite's website guides you through the process in a very concise way. I have used it for recording my guitar amp through Ableton (which you get for free with it). I have also used it to play guitar into digital amplifiers to great effect. As for build quality it is built like a tank and there is no hissing or interference when using this interface. I would 100% recommend this device to anyone looking to get into music production. I was considering alternatives however after having used my friend's focusrite, It quickly became apparent that this was the correct way to go.

I use this interface all the time for playback and guitar recording. I can't name you any other fantastic and cheap red AI.
So simple and so cool!
The volume controllers are still great and completely silent (after three years!). The metal body of the interface pleasantly surprised me. So solid and so attractive!
The quality of the sound is also excellent. I wouldn't say it is the best thing I've ever heard, but it is worth this money.
And the most crucial thing - USB C and the size of this cute little red baby. You don't need a power cable for it. As they wrote it on the package: Plug and play!
