I know. I spent $150 on a Pocket POD I've used twice, because it sounds like ass-milk.

This sounds better, will work on my iPad, has more features, and generally impresses my fellow IT geeks with the cool factor of running amp sims off of a tablet, so it's a win all around. :lol:
Thanks for the kind words (not just the ones quoted, and no comment on the interesting descriptive word at the beginning ;) ). We're proud of this.

Well, I could explain, but suffice it to say it's not painting the Pocket POD in a positive light. :D
hehe got it. Check out a great video Sound On Sound magazine posted from Summer NAMM: News - Summer NAMM 2010: IK Multimedia iRig & Amplitube for iPhone (Video)
Question: on the Late 2009 MacBook Pro 13's, there's a combo input/output jack for audio.

Would that work with your device? I believe it's a ring tip deal, similar to how the iPhone/iPad handle input/output. It would add additional benefit/value if this did work, because then I could use it with GarageBand's amp emulators, in addition to using it on the iPad.
Logic says that it will work Jeff. Both use a TRRS connection and iphone headsets work with the Macbook. People have made breakout box's for their Macbooks in the past which have worked fine.

That is a great application for this adaptor, my macbook pro has separate in and out which I have used for recording and the quality is every bit as good as any interface I have used. I imagine that the crosstalk with any home made TRRS adaptor would make it useless for recording, if the iRig adaptor actually eliminates crosstalk with no signal degradation it is a great portable solution for the guitarist who is stuck with the shitty combo audio in/out on those models.

Yeah I'm just thinking it'd be handy for those times I just want to have something to practice with, and just use the built in sounds along with the iRig doodad. Definitely a good value if it can perform double duty.
Nice! That's a great use for it too, instant Hi-Z/Instrument input if it does.

And 3 days to go until the iRig ships! July 1st in Europe, July 7th in the US...

Yes, was tested on it before iOS 4 release and then with the release version - works VERY well.
Weird :shrug:

OK one more day. There should be plenty of dealers ready to rock with this. If you have any questions, let me know.
And we'll be shipping on the 6th or 7th of July for folks in the US and Japan.
first unboxing video, with a no-scissors-required package which I think is a nice touch:
As a guy who can't freaking stand those insane plastic boxes of unopenable doom that everything seems to be packaged in lately - thank you. :lol:

As someone who has lacerated their hands in the past on such packaging, I also thanked the people here that were responsible for that. It was one of those "little things" that made me happy. We're going to be on the shelves of major retailers too, so let's hope they don't make use change the packaging to ward off theft. Slicing up guitar-playing hands is NOT something we're into.

New video: Richard Fortus of Guns N' Roses says "the most interesting thing to happen to the iPhone yet":
iRig is arriving to folks all over now! Here's a first user demo video, right after it arrived:
