TASCAM
iU2 Audio Interface
$199.99
Why Obtain proaudio quality and less distortion with iOS devices
Features TASCAM’s iU2, with dual XLR inputs and phantom power, offers proaudio quality by providing all needed preamplification and conversion. Subsequently, the iU2 sends the signal as digital audio to the iOS device— thus bypassing the internal audio. The iU2 also features a hi-Z instrument input, stereo line ins, S/PDIF out, MIDI I/O, and Windows/Mac compatibility.

IK Multimedia
iRig STOMP
$59.99
Why Integrate iOS effects into a pedalboard (or use stand-alone)
Features Picture a stompbox case that plugs into your pedalboard but doesn’t have any onboard effect. Instead, it connects to your iOS device, which provides the effect—or effects— with an app like AmpliTube for iPad. iRig Stomp also includes a bypass switch, headphone output for practicing, active output stage, and input gain trim knob.

Sonoma Wire Works
GuitarJack Model 2
$199
Why It’s more like a portable studio interface than just a guitar interface
Features Built like a tank (so you’ll probably want a connector extension cable), GuitarJack has a dedicated 1/4" instrument input (low- or hi-Z selectable) and 1/8" stereo jack for simultaneously recording line- or mic-level audio (with 0–60dB gain control). It has 24-bit ADA conversion to accommodate a future 24-bit firmware update, along with a high-output headphone amp.
