"Coupled with your iOS device, the iRig Stomp I/O becomes a handy self-contained package for practice with headphones - but also provides the practical means to use AmpliTube onstage with the minimum of fuss for anyone"

Guitarist magazine's resident technology guru, Trevor Curwen, has been taking a close look at iRig Stomp I/O and he was impressed with its ease of use, flexibility and features. In addition to checking it out with his AmpliTube, he was also eager to put it to work as a general purpose MIDI controller and audio interface.

Here are some of his key comments:

"The unit is ready for action straight out of the box, as it comes with a package of IK Multimedia guitar and vocal-processing software."

"You simply plug your guitar in and get the fully processed AmpliTube sound at its output."

"That's not all that the unit does. It's a 96kHz/24-bit USB audio interface/MIDI controller for any host and software."

"IK has got it right, with a balanced set of features that allow a range of uses."

Trevor's final verdict is:

"Coupled with your iOS device, the iRig Stomp I/O becomes a handy self-contained package for practice with headphones - but also provides the practical means to use AmpliTube onstage with the minimum of fuss for anyone"
