I could definitely use one of those. I love how my iPhone makes it so easy for my guitar stuff. I have my tuner, chord chart, metronome, etc. all in my guitar toolkit, then I can add this thing and not have to bring along a separate headphone amph, and an ipod to play along to. It is all in my phone. Cool!

I would love to get a small travel guitar and this. I have been traveling for kids sports, and have a trip to Seattle in a week or so. Those two items would make it easier not to completely miss practicing so much.

EDIT: Maybe I could roll like Krashpad and add me a pink guitar for a travel kit.

What would REALLY be cool is if they make a pocket sized unit that wasn't phone based so that we could carry one with us if we don't have an Iphone.
 
Well that would be a horse of a completely different color. The whole point of this product is to add relatively cheap hardware, and a little program (app) to an existing device to turn it into a headphone amph with lots of features. It also works with an iTouch ipod. You sound like you want a new smaller cooler headphone amph as a stand alone?

I noticed that the iRing is compatible with an iPod Touch but was wondering if that I amplitube software also run on iPod touch ?

Yes. Just not the early ones without audio input. We've tested the app on iPhone 3G, 3GS, iPad, and current iPad Touch with great success. Low latency and great sound all round.

You already can... :) OK, well when released you WILL. Semantics... it is already being done here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKntj6C53Lk

The track needs to be imported though, based on the latency that would be introduced by how the iPod app functions (at I believe 1024 samples and we're doing 128 or 256 depending on the setting you choose in the app). Check that video out, seems to have no latency issue. It isn't the most blazing Satriani track in the world, but still has parts fast enough to show he's playing along frustration-free.

Super! Just lemme know when you are going to ship out the review units ;)
 
and now it looks like the countdown has begun... look out in 9 days! Can't say much more at the moment.
 
:pancake

Interesting, might have to grab a couple of Warrens pancakes while we wait.
 
mmmm pancakes! 7 days now. We're very excited about this, but of course we're at the mercy of the App Store and the manufacturing process. There will be plenty to go around soon though!

Robert - please send me a PM with contact information and all the appropriate info about reviewing it (stats tend to be helpful too, if possible) and I'll get it to the right person. Thanks!

We've only got two days to go where you can give the app a try. Can't wait! http://www.amplitube.com/irig

I agree with Spud. I'm not sure I'll ever own an iphone, but a tidy modeling headphone amp would be very welcome. I've had trouble finding decent ones, though I'll admit that I was looking for something different back when I was shopping for headphone amps.

Are they shipping the iRig adapter yet?
Click to expand...
The iRig adapter ships very early July, first-come-first-served... and the first batch is definitely selling well. So preorders to customers and distributors that are already booked go out first.

You can audition the gear with the included audio samples or import your own. Normally you import to play along, but with the little easter egg you can import some dry/direct sounds and run those through the gear. You just import a song from your computer as normal, then hold the play button down until the timer turns grey. At that point the track will be routed through the gear.
