GuitarPlug
USB Audio Adapters For Your Mac

Design Goal: To build small USB audio adapters for Mac OS X users that plug right into the output jack of an electric or bass guitar and that convert the analog signal output to a high quality USB audio signal, for sending to a computer USB audio input.

With more Mac owners using recording software, like Apple's GarageBand or Logic, to build music tracks at home, we realized that an entirely new approach was called for to connect instruments and microphones to the computer, something much smaller and simpler than anything else that's available. Our patent-pending approach to creating small, but high quality digital interface products has resulted in the GuitarPlug for connecting an electric guitar, respectively, to any Mac system with OS X using a simple USB cable.

Plug In Your Guitar

The GuitarPlug is the perfect device for connecting your electric guitar or bass to an OS X Mac, for home recording, or even for live play-through. It works with single or double coil pickups, with active pickups, and with any audio software that accepts a 16-bit, 48KHz USB audio signal. And, the sound quality of the analog to digital conversion, and the low-latency have to be heard to be believed. Your guitar or bass has never sounded so good. Make no mistake: This product is good enough for any professional use in either live performance or recording.
