just for fucking around with at home. looking at the line 6 toneports, just because I've always had good results with their stuff. Like I said-bang for the buck. I'm a noob. Will be using it with stlamphub probably.
Another difference that could be a consideration is that the DI on the id14 is 500k while on the id22 and id44 is 1meg, which IMO is a pretty significant difference for an instrument DI. If instrument DI is important, I think it could be worth a bit more to get the id22. I had the id14 for awhile before even consider input impedance, and thought the DI sounded dull when using amp sims, and was getting much better signal when going through modelers with everything bypassed, using the same plugins. It was because of that lower than typical 500k on the id14. There's a bunch of mk2 versions for their interfaces now, idk if anything about that has been changed, so maybe this only applies with the older models.the mic pres in the audient line are way above what they should be. If you can get away with two simultaneous inputs, the id14 is a nobrainer. I sing and play guitar, or have two mics set on a cab, this thing is perfect. The di's are very high quality. A lot of professional studios use the audient stuff, and the only difference between the 14 and the 44 are how many instruments you can use at once.
I appreciate you bringing this up. I was actually researching earlier to see what differences i could find. I missed this. I don't often use the DI for it because of liking to record my amp and cab, but that is a very good point to consider for someone that would be using it mostly for plugins.. I know sweetwater has the id44 on sale for like 200 off right nowAnother difference that could be a consideration is that the DI on the id14 is 500k while on the id22 and id44 is 1meg, which IMO is a pretty significant difference for an instrument DI.
