Guitar Effects Interface Compatible with iOS and Guitar Play Any time and Anywhere

I Didn't expect much from this £9 adapter but colour me impressed for what it is and how much it costs, it's not that bad at all.Pros:+Looks like it does in the picture,+Does what it says in the description,+Very light-weight+Despite it's flaws, it's actually usable as a portable thing to mess around with casually if you set it up correctly and use the right app. (this is very important and i go into detail below)Cons:-Hissing.-Can't use it while you're charging your phone or else it makes a ticking/regular-popping noises from the electric.-Can't use your phone's speaker with it, you MUST output to headphones or another speaker. (This is a limitation of the iPhone, not the adapter)-You CAN use this with a bluetooth speaker/headphones -BUT- it is terribly delayed, like, a quarter second delay. it's awful. (I believe this is a limitation with bluetooth because i tried it on several devices with the same results. (there's no delay if you wire it to something with a 3.5mm jack though.)-As mentioned, It's not very weighty, feels pretty hollow, really. Cheap plastic n' stuff.In depth experience/how to get past the hissing problem:My jury rigged setup is as follows (please don't laugh): # iPhone 5s , # A (cheap enough) electric ukulele (not an acoustic, we're talking steel strings with magnetic pickups-), # An old as heck and cheap electric guitar cable w/ ductape on it, # a L + R channel to 3.5mm audio jack splitter cable (to plug into the speakers) (a normal pair of headphones works fine too, I found the ones that come with the iPhone work fine/great) # And an old Phillips portable powered speaker.Immediately after receiving this adapter in the mail I plugged it in to garage band on iOS and that yielded lots of hissing and a mediocre(at best) experience. i was pretty disappointed and about ready to return this thing to amazon, but decided to give some of the other apps available a shot, just for kicks.There were quite a few alternative pedal/effects apps such as Amplitube, BIAS FX, Guitar Rack (just to name a few) but the app that stood out the most to me was Tonebridge.Most of the other apps had similar problems to the ones garage band had, the hissing was a huge problem. It took me a while to figure out that some extra feedback like a "pop.. pop.. pop" was not feedback or a bad noise gate or bad cable, but was actually because the phone was charging.The biggest turn-off for me was that most of these apps are free and give you a really basic set of pedals to test, but all of the "good" pedals (including a decent noise gate) are all add-on content that you have to buy. (bias FX's full package costs £60 ish, and that might just be a flash sale)some of Bias FX's user-submitted pedals (that you can preview) actually mitigated the hiss completely and cleanly, but used pedals from that full (paid)package so you can't tweak them or play with them unless you buy them.ToneBridge however, is , as far as i can tell, completely free. A little janky, but free is free. It's very community based, most of their pedal combinations are community created/inspired. BUT. The real important thing here is that most of the setups in Tonebridge completely and cleanly mitigated the hissing, making this adapter actually useful and fun to use. Tonebridge lets you make your own setups and adjust all the pedals and stuff and then submit your own stuff to the community for others to use if you want to. This sounds like an advertisement for the app, but honestly it is my personal experience that this app saved the adapter from getting returned with a negative review.Oh, word of warning, tonebridge can feedback very loudly when you switch pedals if your phone's audio is turned up too high, making a high pitched screech, turn the sound down before switching pedals especially if you're wearing headphones. I learned that the hard way.All in all, as long as you use tonebridge (if you're poor like me)(or shell out for those expensive add-ons) this £9 adaptor works great if you just want to casually mess around on your electric (instrument) with only your iPhone and some headphones or some speakers/your guitar amp.

This little dongle really helps with guitar learning apps, I’ve used it with bass guitar and it works a treat. Much better than using the built in microphone on your phone.For £7 you can’t go wrong, but don’t expect studio quality sound ;)

I bought this for my dad so that he could broadcast his radios show through a social media platform rhymes with (acecook) if connected right it will allow you to play music through your home computer into the social media platform for your listeners to hear. Even though I am not using it they way it was intended, the images provided on Amazon plus a few videos on another media platform, made it easy to use and easy to set up.

Not a bad product but depending on your device likely to have latency issues. And I have been getting some feedback issues with tone bridge apk

Does exactly what it says. Sound quality is good. Not for professional recording but great for using while on the road and recording ideas.

Was very surprised how good this is. Have spent money on similar products which are a hell of a lot more expensive and do the same thing.Would highly recommended great value.

Used to record my guitar in GarageBand on the iPad and works a treat. I have seen it cheaper elsewhere but amazon delivery is more reliable at the moment.

Seemed great value but noisy, inconsistent and plays demos at random with no way of stopping it. Stopped working very quickly and I had to return it. However, the iRig 2 made up for all of this.
