Extremely Handy
Got this probably at least six years ago just because I didn't feel like paying for a tuner pedal. I use this in conjunction with the TC Electronic Polytune app on my iPad and it works great. I downloaded the full Amplitube app later on, and got the Mesa Boogie add-on, and it's pretty cool. I'm actually able to connect my guitar to my Beats Pill+ with this thing and use it as a small, portable amp.

Love it as a private way to play with headphones
I use this on my iPhone with the amplitube app only flaw with irig is you have to use iOS tablets or an iPhone to use it
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I purchased the Slash and Dimebag Darrell packages on amplitude to play around

Cool af
This tiny, inexpensive piece of equipment has changed practicing solo for me forever. A few notable points: - I can test out guitar pedals/amps before I buy them through plugins. - Has a tuner plugin so if I don't want to bust out my pedal I can just hook into my phone. - I can play will full amp sound through headphones
If you get nagged for making too much noise this is an easy purchase. I think I got mine on ebay for under $15. I haven't tried any of the new/higher end interfaces iRig is making these days, but if I ever break this little guy I might explore a better one.

Artist usage
Add artistIn this tweet, Luke shows us his Deluxe Telecaster in Olympic White. Luke says "love this iRig thingy, so I can play guitar on the road :D".
Out of the mess emerged his iRig, an interface adapter that connects his guitar directly into his iPhone 6.
In his YouTube video titled "Sonar Como Slash Con Un Cable De 7 Dólares y EN TU BOLSILLO!", Rolando Mora discusses and analyzes the IK Multimedia iRig Audio Interface Adapter for iPhone, iPod, iPad, demonstrating its use in his setup.
Mishaps with hilariously short patch cables aside (see previous post), after a bit of soldering, that's my new live rig complete, and it's even more compact than it was before if that's at all possible! For the tech nerds, you're looking at a Galien Kruger MB200 200 watt amp (with built in DI so we can run pre-volume/pre-EQ signal straight to FOH), a Shure GLXD4 wireless, IK Multimedia iRig HD2 audio interface and Blueboard Bluetooth control pedal, and a 6th gen iPod Touch running Amplitube 4. Sounds FUCKING MASSIVE. I'll be giving it a good belting before I drag it out on the road just to be sure it'll hold up on a real stage but everything points to it being amazing. Certainly blows your hair back when you stand in front of it, if nothing else! HAHA!
