Now at Best Buy: Fender Stratocaster HSS Plus with iOS Connectivity
It was really only a matter of time before Fender would introduce USB connectivity to their Stratocaster line. Why would you want to have a USB port on your guitar? It really comes down to convenience. By putting a small USB port (and an A/D converter) in your guitar, the guitar signal is digitized locally and then transmitted to your computer (or other device) over a USB cable. The guitar retains all its standard analog capabilities BUT outputs to USB as well.

IK Multimedia makes a number of well-respected products for the pro-audio market, but has struck a chord, in a big way, by creating simple devices and apps for the iOS platform. Their “i” line of hardware products allow musicians and music lovers to create, record and produce music on their iOS device in a way that is not intimidating, but also gives access to deep features. They’ve come out with two new iOS products this year: the iRig Mic HD and the iRing.

IK Multimedia iLoud Review
The iLoud Studio Monitor Speaker is a small package that can pack a hefty little punch. It’s meant for listening to music like other wireless speakers, but it also has special features. If you’re a musician looking for a small keyboard amp or software-driven guitar amp, or if you need to check mixes on the go to make sure they’ll translate well to other systems, the iLoud has you covered.
