I travel for work to Asia (15 hour flights) and I purchased a Speedster Traveler Guitar and I carry an Iphone 4S. Basically, if I buy this, can I hear myself play through headphones with no other amplification device? I purchased an inexpensive...

Yes, you just plug it to your phone and plug your headphone to irig and thats it.

I practice with it all the time in Acoustic mode. It is very quiet compared to a normal Acoustic Guitar. In fact the other day I picked up a normal Acoustic and was blow away by how loud it was because I'm so used to this traveler guitar. But, I still love this guitar. I don't mind that it's quiet. It's great to practice when other people in house are sleeping. (not sure about jack for headsets, I never use it that way.)

I play it through my guitar amp. The chord is damn flimsy so be careful! Sound is good, if you can use a preamp or sound processor with reverb it helps a ton. A direct box should work just fine. It's way easier and sounds better than micing it IMHO.If you push the levels of your PA system you may run into feedback issues. Run a dress rehearsal and find the best spots on stage that don't feedback. Again that chord is very flimsy, one trip and it's game over. Have a backup plan like a microphone just in case.

Seems like it might be a flaky ground connection. If you've tried other headphones, and if you don't get a buzz when you plug your guitar into another amp, I'd guess that the AmPlug has a faulty ground connection inside, most likely at the 1/4" phone plug.

Hi Brandi- I have played music through both my iPad and iPhone through the USB function. The device automatically recognizes that there is music playing and starts playing after just a few second delay. I can only speak for my iPhone 5 and iPad but my guess is this should be Universal. Good luck.

Well, when I tried recording I didn't hear my vocal on track 2 over the instruments on track 1. So I have a question in my answer. Will it play back an existing track and a new track (a vocal) through the headphones? I'm so frustrated. Meanwhile, I got a new microphone from Amazon. Everything's brand spankin' new. Luv to hear what I sound like when I'm recording. HELP!

Definitely agree with the others here. Will it scale up with a dedicated amp? Sure! But it's still the best thing I've heard straight out of my iPhone. Don't really like to carry more and more extra stuff with me, so for my commute... it's these plugged straight into the iPhone, every time.

It works fine on an acoustic but will never quite sound like an electric or an acoustic - somewhere in between I guess if you don't have an electric it will suffice.If you have a large 'Jumbo' guitar then it might be bit of a stretch from the headphone to the input jack - could pull the phones off when you move, twist etc. A major flaw in the design as I said in my review of it.

I'm sorry to say but I haven't traveled since I purchased these. However, when I do travel & use any kind of headphone/headset, I am usually plugging them into my own devices.

I some what understand your question, I don't think it had anything to do with the headphone amp though... to eliminate the question, try to do the same thing without it being connected, and last but not least, I don't know how this amp would make any device(s) lose any files... I haven't had that problem.

I am not a fan of this product as it does not support headphones. I would not want to pack this in my bag and need to carry it with me. If packing for carry on, have you considered a walkman sized CD player with external (small) portable speakers?

Ipods and iphones use a 1/8 inch jack. Some headphones are terminated in a 1/8 inch jack, and some are terminated in a 1/4 inch jack. The HD600 I had was an older version that had an 1/8" jack, and for that you don't need an adapter. If you have a 1/4" jack, then you can get a 1/4 to 1/8 inch adapter, which are commonly available on amazon or radioshack or anywhere. The other issues is that an iphone or ipod really doesn't have the necessary power to drive the HD600. I would suggest taking a look at the HD598 instead. But, if you're dead set on the HD600, then you can get one, just be mindful that you may need to get a headphone amp for it, and that out of an iphone it may not be the best value for dollar headphone you can get. The HD600 is really made for professional and stationary desktop systems, with a high-quality source and a headphone amp of some sort, or at least an integrated receiver. That's where it really shines. On the other hand, it's one of a handful of headphones under $1k that I would whole-handedly recommend. The headphone hobby has really gone to the dogs, and there are lots of overpriced, under-performing headphones out there on the market. But, the HD600 is not one of them, and it's one of the best value for dollar deals out there - the others being the Koss ESP950 and Stax SR-207, if you're building a stationary, desktop-based system, and Sennheiser HD598 and Momentum if you're building a portable-based system. On that note - if isolation is important, the Sennheiser Momentum is worth a good look. While not as good as the HD600 in terms of absolute fidelity, it's a quality closed headphone and is easy to drive by just about anything.

Yep. That's what I play through it. It's ideal for busking. Won't shake the place, but it will be audible if you are smart with tone and volume and you do get full wattage on battery. You CAN replace the internal battery setup with bigger/better but it runs into a little money, will take longer to charge and weigh more. Indoors, though, it has a little growl, which isn't bad for an 8" in a fairly small box. I'm happy with it as a home practice amp with my "real" basses and use a Traveller with crystal pickup (3 lbs, lightest bass in the universe) for busking and it's fine for non-headbanging. Yep.

The device has a headphone output and stereo balanced output, both of which can be connected to speakers. I wouldn't advise running it through a guitar amp as you are meant to use it with an amp-modeling app which simulates the sound and characteristics of an actual guitar amplifier. Therefore, if you want to hear it out loud, just run it through a clean set of speakers or directly into the PA (depending on your situation). I will also add that this is a great device and gives a clean signal path for modeling apps.

DeeM---you have to buy the pedal separately. As for headsets, if your iphone jack fits you can use it. Happy playing. T

It is about the same as playing an electric guitar un-amped, you can hear it if you in a quite room. I bought mine to play at work without annoying anyone while I practice. I now use a VoX adapter and head phones because it is too quite and I found myself digging in too much in order to hear it un-amped.
