I have several iPhone/iPad to guitar interface hardware products. All of them work well and allow players to use their IOS device to plug in a guitar and add effects. The products are awesome for practice, but the sound quality probably is not good enough for recording or true performances. PocketLabworks is planning on releasing some hardware designed to improve the audio quality while using an IOS device for the guitar.
