Apple Recommends For

Getting the best sound quality when you use your guitar with GarageBand and other apps with your iPhone or iPad.

Jam and record with inspiring tone

The Line 6 Mobile In interface and free Mobile POD app bring rich guitar tones and best-in-class audio quality to your iPhone and iPad. Just plug your guitar or bass into the interface for studio-quality sound—and enjoy great results when you record into GarageBand and other iOS music apps. With Mobile In, it's easy to make the most of your favorite apps.

Studio quality for serious sound

Pro specifications for full, clear guitar tones: up to 24-bit/48kHz audio quality throughout, and 110dB dynamic range on the guitar input. Unlike other devices that connect to the analog headphone jack of an iPhone or iPad, Mobile In attaches via the 30-pin connector for a high-quality, all-digital signal path. Clean tones sparkle and sing, effect-laden tones are rich and colorful, and high-gain tones are powerful and feedback-free.

Mobile In is also the high-quality way to record stereo audio sources to your iPhone or iPad. Simply connect a keyboard, mixer, CD player or even another iPhone to the stereo line input.

32 amps, 16 cabs, and more

Leading guitarists depend on POD for amazing tone in studios and on stages around the world. The Mobile POD app brings these legendary guitar tones—the same ones found the award-winning Line 6 POD 2.0 and Pocket POD products—to your iPhone and iPad.

32 amps, 16 stompbox and rack effects, and 16 speaker cabinets give you immediate access to an impressive array of sounds. The intuitive graphical display makes it easy to tweak and save your custom tones. You can also take advantage of over 10,000 Mobile POD presets designed by artists, Line 6 and other players, right on your iPhone or iPad. To top it all off, Mobile POD also lets you play along with songs in your iTunes library.**

The ultimate jam-along experience

Designed to work together, Mobile In and the award-winning free Jammit app let you immerse yourself in your favorite artists' original recordings—and play along with incredibly authentic guitar tones.

    Lag/battery drain and finicky controls

    • Written by from Hanford

    I bought the Line 6 Mobile In with the hopes it would be a good on stage utility. However after opening the product and plugging it in, I found that it would be next to impossible to use on stage.

    -Lag. This is a few milliseconds of delay from when you hit the guitar strings to when the sound comes out of your speakers. Timing is everything on stage and this would throw everyone off.

    -Battery Drain. There is no external power source for this gadget and it seems to quickly drain the battery, this would be a serious problem if you were attempting to play long sets on stage.

    -Sticky online presets. Finding presets isn't too hard, but you have to wait almost every time you touch the screen to scroll up or down which makes it very difficult to navigate online presets.

    -Only one cable. It comes with only one cable for your guitar to your iPad/iPhone. The first question I asked apple was, "Do you sell 1/4 in to 1/8 in cables?" I shouldn't have to go to radio shack and spend another 10 dollars.

    -Flimsy connector. The connector is made out of cheap plastic that doesn't seat very well. This could turn out to be a big problem.

    -Great selection of amps/effects. I gave it two stars because it has such a wide selection of options and it does sound really good when you get over the lag part of it.

    Overall, this is a great pocket/practice amp, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than practice and garage band. By a POD if you want live sound.     …More

    Awesome Tool

    • Written by from Surrey

    While it would be nice to be able to charge your iPad or iPhone while using the plugin, the choice of amp heads and cabs and effects makes this an awesome tool. I have used it for over one month now and have found no lag in the app, the rig is very quiet, unlike other devices that have a very loud hiss, and the factory and user sounds are awesome. For playing with headphones or plugging it into a home studio, this app/plugin combo is fantastic. …More

    Line 6 Mobile In goodness!

    • Written by from Chorley

    A great little device for home / practice use - which it is designed for!!
    1. Although the item is made out of plastic, the build quality is absolutely fine, I wouldn't want a "higher quality" HEAVY adapter hanging out of the iPad / iPhone connector! This is small and light and seems just fine!
    2.Battery drain seems to be a none issue and the iPad 3 - lasted hours and hours off half a charge!
    3.Works on all the apps I've tried it on... Mobile pod, GarageBand, Amplitube, Ampkit+... Splendid!!
    4. Sounds awesome... Miles better than the audio jack type devices - really, it's night and day by comparison! (I have both!)
    5. Did I mention it sounds awesome!? :)
    6. "Guaranteed" to put a smile on your face! :oP (IMHO)     …More

    Not for bass

    • Written by from Whitby

    There are no amps or bass effects so this input is of limited use for bass guitar (out of the box anyway). Other apps can be bought to work with it, I'm sure but it's disappointing that line 6 does not include at least a couple of amps & effects …More
