    i was searching for this guitar port in Line 6’s webpage but i can’t find it (the interface). they only offer the online course.
    I also could not found a store (online) that still sales this thing.
    what happened?

    You can get the same or better from IK MUltimedia’s”Amplitube”. For software that is free. You’ll need an audio interface with a 1/4″ jack for the guitar. In the reviewed product all the function is in the software. I like “Amplitube” a little better and a LOT better after buying one of their amp model plug-ins.

      We’ve just done a post on the IK Amplitube. I must say it really is easy to use. That said, when it comes to amp modelling, Line 6 have been doing it for a while and are pretty good at what they do.

      IK Multimedia have leveraged emerging technologies to help people play anywhere which is very cool too.

    I have seen this gadget in so many places and I know it is used by a lot of great guitarists, specially in the metal/hard rock music style… I would love to get it! Some day maybe…
    Does anyone out there owns it? Thoughts? Comments?
