Overview
Guitarists who want to play through amp sim apps on an iPhone or iPad get this pocket IK interface, which plugs into the device's headset jack. A gain dial sets input level, and a switch passes either the processed or a clean signal to an amp.
Simplicity and portability make the case, with free AmpliTube CS for amps and effects. The quarter inch output lets it feed a real amp on stage. Newer phones and tablets need a separate Apple adapter.
Who it's for
Guitar and bass players who want silent practice and quick ideas on a phone. Singers and podcasters need an interface with a mic input.
Pros and cons
- Feeds an amp directly
- Clean thru switch
- Free amp app
- Adapter needed for newer devices
- No mic input
- Analog connection only
Performance notes
The interface sends the guitar signal through the device's headset input, so audio quality depends on that connection. The gain dial prevents clipping from hot pickups. Thru mode leaves the amp path analog while the app runs a tuner or recorder.
