Marshall® Plexi Classic Amplifier
The undisputed alpha dog of rock and roll guitar amps, the Marshall “plexi” amplifier is as legendary as the music it helped create. From Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page, Duane Allman to Eric Clapton, the Plexi’s punishing melange of snarl, sustain, smoothness, and raunch defined the sound of rock.

Amazing
J. Ciodaro
Terrible customer service process
The interface is good. Not the best. Nor is the AD/DA. The plugins are good but you are stuck with UDA devices to run them.
And please don’t ever need customer service. There process will make you feel like you back in stone age days and it will take you weeks to solve your issue, IF, They ever do…A. Nezhikov
ASIO driver not working properly
The quality of the preamps, plug-ins is amazing. Really great device, but the ASIO driver works disgustingly with different sampling frequencies!
As the problem was with PCI-e devices in 2012, so this disease is still going on. Sorry, but we are already living in 2024!
Why Audient audio card works fine with different sampling rates, but your card requires a tambourine dance?!h. bo

Only buy if your PC won't support Thunderbolt
The Apollo Twin USB only runs on Windows. I am a long-time Windows user, buying this Windows-only unit seemed like a no-brainer. I compose symphonic band and orchestral music. I hoped the DSP power of this (with an additional PCIe card) would offload enough of the signal processing from the i7 processor in my PC. The DSPs could barely handle the UAD plug-ins needed for the interface. It did not solve my problem. Later I discovered the DSP technology is about 20 years old.
I finally traded my PC for a Mac M1. The M1 is a game-changer. The 20-year-old DSP technology in this unit, not so much. I returned my Windows-only Apollo Twin USB Duo, sold the PCIe DUO card, and bought an M1 and Apollo x4 QUAD. Now I use the x4 QUAD to track my guitar, LC mic, and DLX microphone. The QUAD handles my DSP needs for the x4, and the impedance-matching Unison preamps are pure gold. The M1 handles all the DAW signal processing. Lastly, I was under the wrong impression that I needed the USB because I was running Windows. However, my i7 motherboard had a USB 3.2 interface built-in. I could have bought the Thunderbolt Twin. Before buying the Twin USB, make sure your PC truly has no path for Thunderbolt (USB 3.1 or better). Bottom line, I don't recommend the Apollo Twin USB.K. Chatzopoulos
Conclusion after 5 years
Windows/Cubase user here. I use this interface professionally, by recording maximum of 2 channels the same time (no multitrack, drums etc) and doing mix/masters. Before my upgrade I used a Motu audio express. I ve seen a big difference in stability and at rec quality. The unison recording is super smooth clear, and ready to be colored with character of plugins. The only Con I had, was with the DSP, BUT!!! After the native versions, I no longer have this problems and I spend some DSP for live monitoring. The idea for a step further that I did, without changing the card, was to buy an analog neve channel strip and a 8 extra channel ADAT, because I don't want to plug and unplug all the time for my various combinations of cabling.
In general, after the added experience , ear training and user experience as well, I am still super happy and satisfied from the sound, the quality of the UAD plugins, the UAD console experience etc. To be fair, recording with original neve channel strip, has a little better feel, presence and harmonics, BUT!, preamp emulations are not far in sound. Only in the real feel during recording.
Conclusion: If you are a windows user, don't be afraid! Go for it and it's the perfect period to invest to plugins , now that they are native as well.J. Raetz

I think it is a best hardware.
Comfort. Quality. DSP.
Thank you!T. Opieczonek
Muy feliz
Verdaderamente es un sonido increíble, tanto los pre de entrada como salida.
La opción unison es sorprendente y los plug in también. Recién estoy probando tanto el Marshall como el ampeg y son maravillosos. El Avalon 737 me tiene loco. Podrían hacerme un descuento?

Apollo Twin X USB
La Apollo Twin X USB es equipo muy bien construido, se nota la experiencia y el estudio de los Ingenieros. La calidad es extraordinaria tanto para grabar o reproducir, con alto rango dinámico. Lo que no me gusto fue el trato del soporte de Universal Audio y que por momentos se cierra el UA connect, consola. Pero es una buena interfaz de gran calidad y prestaciones.

With Universal Audio's renowned conversion technology, the interface ensures exceptional sound quality, capturing the nuances of your recordings with clarity and warmth.
A standout feature is the real-time UAD processing, which not only provides low-latency monitoring but also offloads plugin processing from your computer's CPU to the interface itself. This allows for a seamless workflow and the utilization of high-quality UAD plugins in real-time, enhancing your creative process.
Equipped with Unison preamp technology, the Apollo Twin DUO USB imparts a touch of vintage character to your recordings, making vocals and instruments come alive. Its compatibility with both Mac and Windows systems ensures versatility, while the intuitive design facilitates easy integration into various setups.
While the price point may be an investment, the Apollo Twin DUO USB's combination of top-tier sound quality, low-latency monitoring, and DSP-powered processing justifies its position as a studio powerhouse. Elevate your recordings and streamline your workflow with this exceptional audio interface.C. Ivans
It works well!
Works great into FL21. On windows having issues connecting signal from apollo to OBS studio etc. Would love to use it for streaming and not just music production. Doesn't seem to be any fixes online in forums or anything. Only consensus I've seen is that if you're using UA with window's you're simple S.O.L on that front.

Apollo Twin, a portable audio production studio
After doing so much research on Audio Electronics, I found it useful for Audio Production purpose. We already have CPU based plugins but now a days few manufacturers are creating audio signal processors that use GPU. We already have SHARC processors that takes care of UAD plugins. But I am curious about availability of plugins that can use our unused GPU of our computer system

This unit is a great addition to my rig, I has replaced older hardware and just opened up the sound of my recording. Being able to utilize the power of uad plug ins on input channels with no latency is a very great addition to the tool box.

If customers are happy with their apollo and comp set up ,be great if they would put the apollo model and specs on their computer on the review.I think this make the world a happy place.
