We now carry the PRS Guitar Bud in Boca Raton! For those of you who don't know, GuitarBud is a connector that plugs your axe right into your phone, allowing you to record straight to any number of apps. Heck, you can just use the built-in voice recorder to lay down a melody you’ve got in your head. Or you can go a little more pro and turn your phone into a portable studio. Sure, you probably won’t want to record an entire album on this thing, but you’ve gotta admit that it’s pretty awesome this ability now exists. On it is the PRS JAM AMP. The PRS JAM AMP combines a great-sounding guitar amp simulator, a backing track audio file player and a super-accurate tuner into an all-around first class application that allows you to jam along to backing tracks and slow down riffs and solos for optimal practice — all through your mobile device and the privacy of your headphones.
The PRS JAM AMP lets you load, loop and slow down audio clips for repeated practice of those tricky parts. Upload and play back popular riffs and songs in MP3, ACC (unprotected) or AIIF formats using the onboard web interface.
You can even adjust the tuning of your audio tracks to your guitar. For example, if the backing track was recorded in the key of C#… you can adjust the pitch upward by three tones and play along on your guitar in E!![]()
The amp application includes the standard tone controls as well as input boost, reverb and crunch (overdrive). There is even a slider to adjust for room size.
As far as we're concerned, this is the ultimate iPhone-iTouch application. You can walk around in your house with your guitar strapped on and your iTouch in your pocket. The optional (but required)Guitarbud cable that connects your iTouch to your guitar and headphones is neatly tucked your back pocket jamming along (walking room-to-room) to a backing track — all the while listening to everything through you headphones.
