Plug your guitar into your iPhone with AmpliTube
IK Multimedia has just released AmpliTube® – a mobile guitar amp and effects system for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The app works together with an external plug adapter called iRig and promises to be a unique solution for bassists and guitarists to play their instrument while using their favourite mobile device. We haven’t had a chance to experience this combo yet so we’re being curious from afar.

- Full rig made from 3 simultaneous stompboxes + amp + cabinet + mic
- 10 Stomps, 5 Amps, 5 Cabinets, 2 Mics available
- Import and play along with songs and backing tracks with real time effects
