People have asked for my iPad guitar setup, so I thought I’d post a few pictures of what I use.
Many of the people that email me ask how I write songs on the iPad. The fact is, I don’t. The iPad for me is a scratchpad for ideas. I often sit and just jam — if something strikes me, I’ll press record, capture the riff and send it to myself.
Just like all of my other guitar gear, the iPad is a tool that I take advantage of. It allows me to play whenever I have a few minutes of downtime, without having to go into my studio.
The products I’m using right now are:
Taylor SolidBody guitar
Ampkit+
Apogee JAM
iPod headphones
Very short guitar cable
It’s always fascinating to see the enabling technology get simpler to use. Thanks for posting these pictures, Jim.
Are you going to try out the new Line 6 interface when it comes out? Have you heard any more on the release date? I’ve got to find something else besides the iRig; too noisy and too low gain.
That is a nice setup. Very portable. Makes me want to get a iPad.
Thanx Jim.
Apogee JAM will a great X-Mas gift for my bro who’ll be getting an iPad from his wife and kids.
Yes, that is a great gift. All of the Apogee stuff is really great.
