Line 6 bring their Mobile POD app to the store, but until you can get your hands on their Mobile In hardware you can just look! Anyway, here's the detail, and it is pretty impressive.
IMPORTANT: To use this free app with a guitar, you'll need a Mobile In, the premium digital audio interface accessory made by Line 6. If you don't have a Mobile In yet, you can still explore the app and learn about the available guitar amp and effect device models, and the many other app features. For more information about Mobile In, please visit http://line6.com/mobilein.

Was all excited and "explored the app" but sadly it only lived on my iPad for five minutes as I do not have the "special" connector to make the app actually work with a guitar.
Honestly,I can say I probably will only get to see/hear this app run in video as the next io solution I buy for my iPad will be the I/o dock. I have a "guitar only" iterface I bought once already called the irig. It was $40 and it does the trick. Don't think I will ration funds for a separate dongle to test out different tones.
I would have rather this app been paid and allow the user to use irig or any other dock connected interface. Unless the line6 app is so perfect for guitar tone that I just can't live without it,I can see this being a good tool for new adopters of guitar interfaces on the iPad,but for users that have already invested in a system through companies that have already explored this avenue I can say this might be a hard sell.
Maybe I will find a way to use this app on my iPad. Chances are line 6 will "open" the app before that day comes. ;)
Later freesoul
Okay, that's confirms that then. I was wondering if I read that correctly that this app really ONLY works with their interface and wasn't just a hard plug. Moving on.
Shame it needs the hardware and possibly a work of marketing folly/genius to release the software first. Hardware actually looks quite attractive to me, decent line/guitar in and 24 bit. Any viable competitors for less than 65 ukp?
Hi, I'm the Mobile Products Manager at Line 6. Really sorry if anyone was disappointed after downloading Mobile POD -- we did try to make it super-clear in the Description that the app needs our Mobile In hardware.
Also I just wanted to mention that it's -very- deliberate that the Mobile POD app requires the Mobile In hardware. We've been doing guitar processing for a long time, and we know it's just not possible to produce quality guitar modeling tone with any of the analog adaptors that use the speech-grade converter on the headphone jack. Mobile In is the only one with a digital input circuit based on the Line 6 POD products, and the DSP in the app is real POD processing, including all the amp, speaker cabinet, and FX models. We feel it all adds up to a pretty striking improvement on iOS guitar tone, and it couldn't have happened without the new hardware.
The app and HW are both shipping, incidentally, so I hope anyone who's interested will be able to try it out for themselves real soon.
I thought it was pretty obvious from the description and the pre-launch marketing that the app would require the hardware!
Does look like a nice piece of portable hardware for getting stereo line-in into my iPad. Guitar I've already got sorted with my Alesis Guitar Link (USB, not analog through headset port) but stereo in needs my relatively large Behringer UMA25s.
The app *looks* nice but could I suggest to Chris that you include some built-in clean guitar loop samples so we could actually hear the effects? That might help to convince ppl to part with the cash for the hardware.
Just a suggestion.
Thanks Chris. You've certainly attracted my interest with the app and hardware specs. Can't find a competitor with iPod/phone compatibility and 24bit. Plus I'm fully aware of the likely value of your modelling... Searching for uk stock right now...
"we did try to make it super-clear in the Description that the app needs our Mobile In hardware"
So how many guitar interfaces do we need to purchase for IOS when one app requires a specific interface, and another app will require another specific interface?
And then you got the CCK which will just not work with the iphone/touch.
Its getting a mess.
'It's getting a mess.'
It's getting a little Drama-Queen-y in here. A representative even comes to explain their claims of superior hardware - which fully explains why you would WANT to buy their hardware.
'So how many guitar interfaces do we need to purchase for IOS...?'
None. Zero. That's how many you NEED to purchase.
"It's getting a little Drama-Queen-y in here."
I have no problems with a representative explaining why their interface is better.
I have a problem with a company making software incompatible with every other available interface.
Can you even demo's Mobile POD without buying their interface first?
"None. Zero. That's how many you NEED to purchase."
So you don't even use those kinds of products, and call me a drama-queen? You don't even know what you're talking about.
I already have a guitar connector, and I'm not going to buy another interface unless this ones breaks.
Sorry Line 6, your app looks great, but I just can't experience it unless I spend a considerable amount of money.
"A representative even comes to explain their claims of superior hardware - which fully explains why you would WANT to buy their hardware."
No, he explained why Line 6 want you to buy it. There's a difference. He explained why it would be ill-advised to use a headphone jack-based interface but didn't explain why the app *needed* to be incompatible with other interfaces, especially when there are some that don't use that jack and when the samples on their site sound no better than what's currently out.
"None. Zero. That's how many you NEED to purchase."
Wrong. The answer is one if you ever want to use this app.
"It's getting a little Drama-Queen-y in here."
It's getting a little No-Reading-Comprehension-y in here.
