Direct link


This is what we need if we are actively plugging our guitars into our computers- a direct connection without a bulky intermediary. Alesis' Guitarlink Plus features a 1/4" cable at the guitar end & a USB plug at the other.

This way, our instruments plug into our computer directly, we have less bulky contraptions to lug around as well. However, the manufacturer cautioned players against relying it too much for pro-grade recording, this connection only serves to address convenience more than anything else. It's good news for dweebs like me who sometimes bring my guitar to the office.

Looking at the package, i doubt there's any preamp built in. Like what u said, it's probably suitable for those who would like to record down their ideas before they forget.

Just visited Sinamex this evening. Asked the salesman about this product. He told me "don't bother buying this". No joke. Try it out, and you'll hear the same reply.

buying it & banking on pristine tones is not the point. it was conceived to address convenience.
