I attended a breakfast at CE Week where I met the above company that has a myriad of products that I am hoping to review every few weeks for the rest of the year! They make so many useful products, I am so happy I was introduced to them.
I am posting this review the day before my guitar playing son goes off to sleep away camp, I promise to do a video when he returns! These two items are for him, to help and enhance his guitar experience.
Firstly, this is what he has to lug around for his electric guitar:
It is a great amplifier, but I love the fact that all we need is my iPad mini and the iRig to be his guitar amplifier:
Guitar & instrument interface adapter for iPhone/iPod touch/iPad:
- Instrument interface adapter + guitar and bass tone mobile software
- Works on iPhone/iPod touch/iPad
- Compact 1/4″ female input jack to 1/8″ female output jack audio interface adapter
- Headphone/Amp/Powered Speaker OUT
- Connect electric guitar and bass
- Also works with line level signals from synthesizers, keyboards, mixers
- Includes AmpliTube FREE for iPhone or iPad (free download on iTunes App Store)
- Real time guitar and bass multiFX, recording, practicing app
This is incredible! We barely have enough room to store his electric guitar, let alone the big amplifier in our NYC apartment. And, when we travel with the guitar, this iRig makes it so much easier to manage! And the sound is terrific!
Above is my musician using the iRig BlueBoard:
“iRig BlueBoard is the first wireless MIDI pedalboard for iOS and Mac that allows you to control your music apps and more from the floor.
Now control parameters of your favorite MIDI-compatible apps like AmpliTube wirelessly from the floor. Switch between presets, change patches, turn effects on and off and control effects like volume and wah pedals without worrying about tripping over wires. Setup is as simple as turning the iRig BlueBoard on and telling it what you want to control. iRig BlueBoard features four backlit soft-touch pads housed in a sturdy, a stage-worthy chassis, two TRS expansion jacks for connecting additional MIDI controllers like expression pedals and it’s powered by four standard AAA batteries.”
This is an extra my son did not expect from me! He was thrilled to be able to add this to his guitar playing experience. Again, this fits easily in any travel bag, its small, and lightweight. The extra dimension of sound effects that my son can now add to his music playing experience makes him want to play more. Considering I pay for weekly lessons, I am thrilled with these two new add-ons that make him want to practice more often during the week!
We are both excited that I have partnered with IK Multimedia, I cannot recommend these great devices strongly enough!
Disclosure: I received these two items for review. I actually chased down the company because I knew this would be a great fit for my son. I hope to sample more items from IK Multimedia, they have a huge selection of fantastic products, click on the link and see for yourself!
