Reviews for Line 6 Mobile In Guitar Interface for iPhone and iPad

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)

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.
