Take the stage with your mobile guitar rig - incorporate your mobile guitar amps and effects into your live performance

September 6th, 2012 – IK Multimedia, the leader in mobile music creation accessories and apps announced today that iRig STOMP, the first guitar and bass stompbox-style interface for iPhone/iPod touch/iPad, is now available from retailers worldwide and the IK Multimedia online store.

iRig STOMP is the first stompbox-style guitar and bass interface that fits right in with your existing pedalboard allowing you to connect your instrument to your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad and incorporate your mobile amps and effects into your live rig. It’s based on the wildly popular AmpliTube iRig interface which has sold over half a million units to date. The advancements made in iRig STOMP revolutionize the way you connect your instrument to your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad with multiple, intuitive features that make using an iOS device in a live setting easy and fun.

Small Footprint – Big Features: At a glance, iRig STOMP is a very familiar shape and size – approximately 4.5 x 2.5 inches – about the size of a standard compact pedal. However, it’s perhaps the most sophisticated stompbox in the pedalboard. iRig Stomp sports a device jack that routes your signal to your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad and returns the signal to the main output and/or headphone jacks. It also has a huge “gain” knob to easily and quickly set your input signal to its optimum level and take full advantage of the sonicnuances of award winning apps like AmpliTube, AmpliTube Fender or AmpliTube Slash live on  stage, plus it includes a bypass switch to completely bypass the signal processing like a regular stompbox pedal.

Solo or Inline – Flexible Signal  Routing – iRig STOMP has many intuitive features for such a compact interface.  This lets you to use it in three different ways: with a guitar amp as your effects signal chain and tone shaping frontend, inline with your other favorite stompboxes for blending  effects during performances, or with headphones for private  practice.

Plays well with others. Whether used as a solo tool or with other inline stompboxes in your pedalboard, you’ll find iRig STOMP delivers pristine quality guitar audio in every situation. When used with the AmpliTube family of  products, iRig STOMP gives you a complete solution for virtually every kind of playing situation.  iRig STOMP is also compatible with any audio processing app (such as Garage Band) to provide the best possible audio input quality.
