At work

Had some time to while away at the office today (this doesn't come by often, especially at mid-day) so it was string noodling, nothing new. However, there were no amps around so it was the iPad & some stuff you see here:

  1. The guitar in question was my Charvel DX-1. It was nearest the door on my way out from home, so...
  2. iRig Stomp- so the iPad knows I have a guitar plugged into it
  3. X-mini ME speaker
  4. Korg KR mini to keep me in time
  5. Guyatone OD2+, it's the lightest & most preferred
I thought I was into it for a few minutes but I actually played for 1hr 20min. By that time, the rain had stopped.

The digital way

This was last night's set up following the arrival of my iRig Stomp: Guitar-iRig Stomp-X-mini speaker-iPad.

My concern with every digital set up has always been the latency issue. Since the early days of my LINE6-into-PC meddling, I have been upset with that slight delay in processing but technology had come through in terms of development. The set up seen above has no such complications. In fact, iOS applications are reputable in this aspect. I have downloaded the free Amplitube bundle & the features are minimal (expected) but it managed to get things going. As far as the iRig Stomp is concerned, it's a hassle-free plug-&-play. My only down in terms of purchase satisfaction was that the cable it came with was dodgy from the start; it affected connection & there was crackling noises to be heard through the speakers. This was how cost corners were cut, obviously.

Tone-wise, the X-mini ME speaker did well in projecting clarity but does nothing in terms of depth. If you are serious in getting some mojo going even with such a simple set up (yes, it's definitely possible), invest in a pro-size monitor.

Digital domain

In the mail today. Not about to replace my rig with digital devices that thrive on interpretations but I'm putting my iPad to good use.
