    I just got mine, and will download the full version tonight. I don't have a guitar here with me to try it out, so will have to wait. Looks fun!

    What will they think of next? Trying to think of how it might be useful as opposed to fanciful, but nonetheless pretty cool. It helps if you can play the hell out of the guitar.
    Guess portability is the big deal, but you'd need some speakers on your trip? Wonder how it sounds through phones?

    I think so, i purchased in euro for €15.99. You can also just add individual amps and effects to the free version but it works out more expensive that way.

    I am going to use it mostly as a headphone amph. I will also use it through speakers, or into an amph, but my first thought was what a great practice tool in my phone. I am going to try out my nicer headphones, but also you can use just your iPhone headphones, and really have nothing else to bring with you other than the phone you would already have, the little iRig connector, your cable and your guitar. I like that a lot better than hauling a separate headphone amp with a power cord or a bunch of big batteries, etc.

    Well, I got it hooked up, and downloaded the full app. Really nice! Love it so far. I have only had a little time tonight, but will report more later. I really love the Fender model right now. The tubescreamer works just like it should with it. It was easy to set it up for a bit of drive on lead, and roll back the volume on the strat and it cleans right up for chord work. No latency that I could notice. Very cool!

    Great demo Robert! I look forward to seeing what you come up with using it.

    i have only had it a night, but it is known to use battery life. I will get back to you with real world experience once I have had it a while.

    More more more, Robert! We're very impressed even though you tossed aside our carefully-crafted VERY important documentation!!!

    I see you've posted here, sunvalleylaw, which is great - I was worrying about you in the other thread.

    haha, glad you like! I was honest - who reads the "important information" anyway...

    iPhone and flash in the same sentence? UH OH!!!

    If you ever pick up an iPod Touch it works well on the latest generation of those too. Thanks!

    Hi IK, yeah, I posted in this thread as it was up. I am really enjoying this so far. I do not find any noticeable latency, the sounds are really nice, and the product is doing what I want it to mostly.

    I find that sometimes it is hard to get connected properly to import songs. The address you need to log on to does not want to come up. Any advice there? Other than that, it is great!

    I also had some trouble getting songs to load, but seem to have worked it out. For some reason I am not getting as much output as I had hoped. With the headphone output on the Iphone cranked and the amp (in the free version) volume cranked and gain at about mid, the sound is just about audible. Any more gain and it gets too noisy with buzz. The songs I imported seem to play with enough volume but not the guitar. Any suggestions?

    Since different parts of the connector make contact with different parts of the jack on the iPhone/device, it sounds like the output ring is making contact correctly (thus you can hear the songs playing) but there may be something preventing solid contact with the input ring (this has happened a lot).

    You should make sure the input jack on your device is clean. This has happened to many, including myself. Proper contact will not be made if there is dust/lint/etc in there. This happens quite frequently to devices that dwell in pockets often (I'm a big offender there and had to clean mine out). Also make sure that it is properly seated.

    Note that if you are using iPhone 4 there is an update coming as some low volume issues can be found on this device. Also with iOS 4 (on any of the compatible devices) the "Volume Limit" functionality works for ALL apps not just iPod/iTunes like it had in the past so please do turn this off.

    Also, if you are not using headphones (but perhaps multimedia speakers, output to an amp, mixer, etc) please turn off - carefully - the NO FEEDBACK setting.

    You can also please ensure that you are adjusting the device volume using the side buttons but only AFTER you hook up the iRig and it is recognize and produces output.

    Hope this helps!
