Free Taylor Guitars EQ iOS App Adds a Tuner and GuitarJack Model 2 Controls

Musikmesse, Frankfurt, Germany - March 21, 2012 - Sonoma Wire Works has added a

free, high-visibility tuner and the GuitarJack Model 2 control panel

to the Taylor EQ iOS app: an input EQ for enhancing the sound of a

Taylor guitar when played through GuitarJack on an iOS device. Players

can select from a range of EQ presets that complement Taylor's

signature guitar body shapes, including the Grand Auditorium, Grand

Symphony, Grand Concert, Dreadnought, T5, or the new GS Mini. Each EQ

preset was custom designed by Taylor Guitars' engineers to optimize

the tone of each body shape for use with the GuitarJack. Players can

also create a custom tone for any guitar by using the six-band

parametric equalizer in Advanced EQ mode, and play along to their

favorite songs by launching Taylor EQ while the iPod app is playing.

While the Taylor EQ app will work with most iOS guitar adapters and

any acoustic guitar, it is optimized for use with the GuitarJack and

Taylor guitars equipped with the company's Expression System® for

the highest quality sound. Taylor EQ is a free app that includes the

GuitarJack control panel, which allows users to configure the

GuitarJack settings and levels, then quit to launch a third party app.

GuitarJack will retain the current settings and levels even when the

iOS device goes to sleep or the GuitarJack is disconnected. Most

Taylor EQ features are also included in FourTrack to enhance

recordings of Taylor guitars or any acoustic guitar.

Taylor EQ's GuitarJack Control Panel now allows users to adjust the

input settings and modes for both GuitarJack Model 1 and Model 2.

GuitarJack is a high quality interface that connects a wide range of

instruments, microphones, and other audio hardware to the iPhone, iPad

and iPod touch. Select 1/4-inch line in, stereo 1/8-inch line in, or

use both inputs for simultaneous voice and instrument recording onto

two tracks at once when used with an app that supports those features.

GuitarJack's 1/8-inch stereo line/headphone output offers increased

drive for headphones. GuitarJack features Lo-Z and Hi-Z modes, 60 dB

of continuous level control, a 12 dB pad for 72 dB of adjustment, a

24-bit AD/DA converter, and high quality sound. GuitarJack is

available from Sonoma Wire Works, Taylor Guitars, and select dealers

worldwide: http://www.sonomawireworks.com/guitarjack
