Griffin Technology and Frontier Design Group have announced availability of Griffin’s GuitarConnect cable and Frontier’s iShred LIVE. With this combination of cable and app, your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad becomes a mobile guitar workstation.

The 1/4-inch cable connects easily into guitars, basses, or other instruments, and a stereo 1/8-inch mini-plug connects directly to the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad for use with audio applications such as iShred LIVE. The six-foot GuitarConnect cable also provides a stereo 1/8-inch mini-jack to connect headphones or audio cable for connection to a home stereo, amp, mixer, or other audio source.

iShred LIVE is a mobile app with amp modeling and stomp box effects for guitar, bass, and other instruments. Based on the virtual guitar app from Frontier Design Group, iShred LIVE gives musicians of all skill levels the ability to play a real instrument through their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

GuitarConnect, $29.99, is now available from Griffin Technology (http://www.griffintechnology.com). iShred LIVE is a free download at the Apple App Store.
