The output of the guitar is just like a microphone - it requires amplification.]]>Mar 11th 2010 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/Actually you could if you got the 4 connector mini jack for the iPhone. Because the output of the guitar would have to go to the microphone connectors on the iPhone. And the headphone connector would have to go to the two stereo output connectors on the iPhone.

Remember the iPhone has a microphone connector included with the headphone jack.

What they are counting on is that guitar pickups are similar to microphones on iPhone ear buds.

I'm thinking the complaints at MusiciansFriend are about the really bad sound quality from the recording. Not much a cable can do about that problem.

Can't understand why Paul Reed Smith, one of the top guitar manufacturers in the world (after Gibson and Fender) would sell something this junky. ]]>Mar 11th 2010 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/To get great performance you nee do play around with the setting a bit including the controls on your guitar and the input and overdrive controls on the Jam Amp App.

We are working on some presets for the next version. ]]>Mar 13th 2010 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.riotmode.com/cable.html]]>Apr 9th 2010 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/
Hi All. Yep you can do this with other adapters, or make it yourself. See the link below. The PRS iPhone app is one of the **poorest** of it's class, and has poor reviews. Instead please checkout my review of some better guitar effects apps such as RiotFX (http://www.easylearn2playguitar.com/recording/guitar-effects-and-practice-amps-for-iphone-ipod-or-ipad/), and a write up on different ways to connect your guitar to your iPhone or iPad including where to buy interfaces that are better quality(http://www.easylearn2playguitar.com/recording/connecting-your-guitar-to-your-iphone-ipod-or-ipad/). You'll also learn about a new interface by Ground Up Audio which will solve the missmatched impedance issue.

Kidding, they might toss something out maybe at WWDC this year, with an actual working demo>? who knows...]]>Mar 11th 2010 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/Mar 11th 2010 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/Mar 11th 2010 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/At Bond / PRS we have been working hard to keep the latency down. Right now the Jam Amp App tests for the type of iPone and decreases the buffer size based on processor speed. The next version will do much better at this.
We can not even effectively run on the original iPhone but it is good on the 3Gs and with the next optimizations we should be able to half the latency in most modes to well bellow the 30 ms range.
We are pushing the capabilities of the iPhone pretty hard.
And when the next gen iPhone / iPod Touch and iPad are out we will be able to do some much more amazing modeling and tricks. ]]>Mar 11th 2010 12:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/Mar 11th 2010 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/
As far as latency goes... since I started developing for the iPhone I have never ceased to be amazed at what it is capable of... in the early days interfacing with the audio hardware was a pretty flaky experience and lacking any documentation to speak of - you had to do some interesting hacks to coerce it into doing what you wanted... but its now very stable and at RiotMode we have managed to get latencies around 10-15ms on the iPhone3G even with chains of pretty demanding effects.

The Guitarbud should open up a whole new world of possibilities for iPhone/iPod touch music apps... And I can finally submit RiotFX (http://www.riotmode.com) to the AppStore knowing it will actually be useful :-)]]>Mar 12th 2010 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/prs-guitarbud-jacks-your-axe-ego-into-iphone-ipod-touch/http://www.easylearn2playguitar.com/recording/guitar-effects-and-practice-amps-for-iphone-ipod-or-ipad/).
