Tonebridge Guitar Effects put to the test
To give you an impression of how easy it is to operate and use the app, I have selected this test video. The young guitarist in it shows you how easy it is to switch between different sets and make the appropriate sounds. The device he uses as an adapter between guitar and iPad is the iRig (see below):
Compatible devices / adapters
If you want to test the app, but are still looking for a way to connect the guitar to the iPhone, iPad, iPod or Mac, there are some adapter devices for it. Compatible devices are mentioned in the Tonebridge Guitar Effects app description. For the iOS app these are:
- Ampkit link
- Apogee JAM, Line 6 Mobile In (obsolete), Line 6 SonicPort, iRiffPort, Alesis IO Dock
- iRig (cheapest solution), iRig HD, iRig HD 2, iRig Pro
The compatible guitar adapters for the Mac with OS X or macOS are the same as just mentioned; But according to the app description, there is also that iRig Pro I / O. The corresponding one is therefore also certain Duo model usable.
