iRig USB is IK Multimedia’s compact and affordable guitar or bass interface that lets you practice, play, and record in digital quality from an iPad, iPhone with USB-C, Mac, PC, or Android device . Connect your instrument to the 1/4" input , adjust the level with the gain control , and monitor silently via the 3.5mm headphone output . When you want to amplify your sound, use the 1/4" “Amp Out” to send your sound to an amp or pedalboard; its FX/THRU switch lets you choose between sending the processed signal from your apps (AmpliTube, TONEX, etc.) or the dry signal directly from the instrument. All this with 24-bit conversion , 44.1/48 kHz sampling, and a minimum size of 99 × 42 × 25 mm and 54 g .

Connection to the host is USB-C (USB-C to USB-C cable included). iOS devices with a Lightning connector can be used using the official Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter plus a USB-C to USB-A cable (not included).
