IK Multimedia has been cranking out new versions of its iRig guitar adapter for phones and tablets for nearly four years . And at CES 2015, there’s yet another update. The iRig 2 still allows you to connect that axe to an iOS, Mac or Android device, but this time around, there’s a 1/4-inch output jack, so you can use the company’s mobile apps (like AmpliTube) alongside an amp with ease. It also means that, if you so choose, you could make that mobile device part of an effects loop, or replace it entirely. Sure, the sound of individual pedals is hard to beat, but this setup aims for connivence. There’s also a headphone jack to keep from annoying bandmates, and while the on-board gain control returns, a new toggle switch will bypass the connected mobile device entirely. If you’re considering giving it a go, the accessory will be available during the first quarter of 2015 for $39.99/€29.99. Filed under: Misc , Peripherals Comments Source: IK Multimedia
