If not, let me break it down for you – The iRig HD lets you attach a Guitar, bass or synth to your iPhone, iPad, iPod or Mac using a 1/4″ jack. You can then use a metric ton of apps and software to simulate everything from guitar effect pedals, bass amps and synth modules (to name but a few) straight from your iDevice. If you own or have ever used IK Multimedia’s previous guitar interface (the original iRig) you’ll be familiar with the different ways you can use this piece of kit. Now that’s out the way let’s get on with it.ģ Reasons To LOVE The iRig HD It’s Ridiculously Versatile

Nonetheless, I was happy to declare my undying love for the thing, citing its versatility and ease of use as major plusses. While a fantastic tool for musicians on the go, the iRig does fall short in a couple of areas sound wise, namely an over abundance of irritating background noise and some problems when used with hi gain amp models/effects.
