SoloTech (previously PSSL) is selling a refurb for $34.99: https://shop.solotech.com/products/mackie-onyx-artist-1-2-2x2-usb-audio-interface I picked it up when it was on sale for $29.99.  Looks like it's hit that price several times since.

Anyhow, it's a nice feeling, sturdy unit.  It got me Tracktion Waveform OEM 12 when I registered it last year.

One caveat is relatively high latency (vs. MOTU M4 under 6 ms @ 44.1K/64).  Here are my results for RTL Utility at buffer sizes of 64, 128, and 256.

Win:

44.1K: 8.027 ms, 12.585 ms, 21.474 ms

48K: 7.583 ms, 11.917 ms, 20.708 ms

88.4K: 5.442 ms, 6.179 ms, 10.612 ms

96K: 5.396 ms, 6.052 ms, 10.365 ms

Mac:

44.1K: 9.932 ms, 12.834 ms, 18.639 ms

48K: 9.562 ms, 12.229 ms, 17.562 ms

88.4K: 8.220 ms, 9.671 ms, 12.574 ms

96K: 7.052 ms, 8.385 ms, 11.052 ms

For running amp sims live where you want to minimize latency, you'd probably want to run it at sample rates of 88.4K or 96K on Windows.
