IK Multimedia on Wednesday announced that its iRig 2 mobile guitar interface is now shipping for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and Android devices. iRig 2 has several new features over its predecessor, including gain control, a 1/4" amplifier output, FX/THRU switch, compatibility with the complete line of new Samsung Professional Audio devices and support for devices running Android Lollipop.
"5 years after, and with over one million units sold, IK is now introducing iRig 2. A significant upgrade, it improves on its predecessor by providing better sound quality and more universal compatibility than ever before - and it does this while maintaining the convenience and ease-of-use that have made it such a staple piece of equipment in the arsenal of millions of musicians around the world."
iRig 2 is available at select music and consumer electronics retailers worldwide, and on the IK Multimedia online store, for the same $39.99 price as the original version. The guitar interface is ready to be used right out of the box and comes with a cross-platform suite of apps and software including free versions of AmpliTube for iOS, Mac and Android Samsung Pro Audio. A clip and velcro strap are also in the box.

Or the iRig HD - uses the lightning (or USB, or 30 pin) connector instead of the headphone Jack, sound quality is much better and it's not too much more expensive than the standard iRig.
Much better value than this.
I gave one of these iRig for Guitar and Bass to my spouse for Xmas and it was inexpensive. For what it does it is remarkable. She hooked it up to her iPad and was pleased with it. If you want superior tone go buy a new practice amp by Blackstar or a small Fender Champ or Marshall amp with tubes. The warmth from tubes is what most tone chasing guitar players want 9 times out of 10.
