Hello to all!!!
I have a question. I need a headphone amp and also want to have ability to record my playing to PC. I have offer to Zoom B2.1u for 100Eur (135 USD). And also I can buy Zoom B1 for 40 Eur (54 USD) and Behringer UCA202 for 25 Eur (34 USD).
What is better choice in your opinion?
Thanks for your answers.

Do you have some personal experiences? Can you tell me why this decision?

B2.1u... It can do something that the two units together can't ... With the B2.1u, you can play .mp3s on the computer. And play along. The expression Pedal and the DI are also quite handy.

The b2.1u offers more parameters for control, has a DI, USB interface and had been designed for interfacing your bass with a computer.
B1 is a nice unit but very limited features.
UCA 202 has RCA i/o and is intended for PA or DJ use, may not be robust enough to support an instruments output.

Not through a single USB ASIO interface. The B2.1u is a single device (ASIO interface, amp sim, headphone amp in one). The B1/ Behringer arrangement would require you to use your DAW software to achieve this.
