IK launches iRig amp

Digital product specialist IK Multimedia, continues to add to its retail product range launching the iRig Nano Amp, a micro amp with a built-in iOS interface.

It gives players both a standalone portable guitar amplifier plus an interface that lets them plug their guitar into an iPhone or iPad and use AmpliTube for iOS to access a wide range of guitar tones on the go. The amp is super-compact, battery-powered, self-contained micro amp that can used by itself, with headphones or even an external speaker cabinet. The firm claims it could even drive up to a 4×12″ guitar cab. It features the iRig circuitry so that guitarists can plug their iPhone or iPad into it with the included TRRS cable and tap into the library of AmpliTube guitar tones and more.

The amp can operate in two different modes: Amp and Device. In Amp mode it’s a standalone amp for impromptu practice anywhere. In Device mode it’s used as an interface and amp for an iOS device. 
Only slightly larger than an iPhone, it features a handy “kickstand” for tilting back the unit for better monitoring. Inside, iRig Nano Amp powers a 3″ speaker with a 3-watt class A/B power amp. It features a 1/4″ guitar input, a 1/4″ speaker output, an 1/8″ headphone jack, is powered by 3 AA batteries (included) and comes complete with a TRRS cable for connection to an iOS device.

iRig Nano Amp is available now for $/€49.99 (excluding taxes).
