The iRiffport is probably the best interface for an iOS device on the market right now with price, portability, and and function kept in mind. The main draw is that it utilizes the dock connection for input/output and thus minimizes noise to basically zero. I've owned the iRig which utilizes the headphone jack, and those types of interfaces, though cheaper, are far worse with interference and hiss. The only other interfaces I know of that use the dock is the Sonoma Wirework's GuitarJack and the Alesis IO Dock, both of which are more expensive or may be overkill for what you need.

The iRiffport isn't perfect, but as a whole, what it does, it does very well. I like the headphone jack that is located near the 1/4" input jack has a metal ring which makes for a durable and long lasting connection. On the dock connector side, there is a line out port but that one appears to be plastic. I wish they were both metal but it's not a big deal. The cable is about 6' long and lighter than your standard guitar cable and in white. Despite the weight, the connection to the dock piece seems very well made and I can't see that it would come apart after repeated use in a live environment, so that's nice plus. If I were to make any design changes, there would be two in this area. One, make the cord black. It's a bit too glaringly white but I suppose it could be a good thing in a dark room. It just sorta screams iOS Device ! Next, though the 1/4" jack plugs in fine and stays in my bass, I never felt that 'snap' in that I get from my regular cords. Though, that's a personal preference, and like I said, it was never a problem. The cord has never fallen out.

As a bass player, I used the iRiffport with the GK App. I A/B'd the difference between the iRiffport and the iRig. The difference was startling. Where the iRiffport was quiet, and the signal was robust, the iRig was a interference mess. Granted the iRig was a 3rd of the money, but ya get what ya pay for. Speaking of which, I took a picture of the iRig and sent it to PocketLabWorks and they gave me a $20 discount off the iRiffport as a sort of trade-up program. Nice.

All in all, I'm very happy with this interface. It makes for a great practice tool and as it's all-in-one, I just keep it in the case if traveling. I always have either my iPhone or iPad with me, so it's just plug in and go.

The GK Bass App is pretty cool too. There's no perceived latency and playing with preloaded music from the iPod App is just a matter of selecting the tracks and adjusting the mix. My only wish is that it would allow an App like TuneIn Radio to play so I can practice using the GK App to internet radio a good way to work on chops and different styles on the fly.

At first glance, a hundred bucks seems like a lot, but in the end, it's about having quality and a tool for practicing more. I feel like the iRiffport satisfies both of those objectives.

I am very happy with my iRiffport. The construction is sturdy and the headphone input right at the jack is a very nice touch. I enjoy being able to record/practice in any room at any time using the iRiffport with my iPad. I highly recommend it.

OK, first off: this thing doesn't work with Amplitube, which is what I originally purchased it for (yes, I know Amplitube doesn't use USB style input NOW), but that's ok, as PocketAmp and others from Pocketlabworks are OK for "road use"...

BUT, my main reservation is that the pin connector does NOT firmly stay plugged into the hole on my iphone and ipad. I don't know if this is a single unit issue, or if it's a design flaw, but I checked the iriffport closeup and it does have some latches on the pin plug. It may be that the cord and plug itself are just too heavy. I would like to see this redesigned to be more stable so I can rely on it STAYING plugged in when attached to a mic stand, or propped up at a table, etc. Right now, I have to lay my ipad down, and just hope that no one bumps it.

IF that problem gets resolved, this is a 4.5 star review. I still thing a better design would have formed a more reliable plug. There's something about the plug that just isn't "balanced". We need it to clip on as well as clip in in order to be absolutely foolproof for those who might want to use it live.

Other than that, the "unicord" concept is awesome. I love only having to have my headphones with me. With the iRig, for whatever reason, I never would have both my cord and my headphones at the same time, but I do like using Amplitube better than PocketAmp. I cannot believe that there is no tuner in Pocketamp, but of course there are better apps than PocketAmp; however, the Pocketlabs people REALLY MUST put a tuner into this software IMMEDIATELY...

Hopefully we'll see this unit redesigned a bit more elegantly ASAP. Do that, and you guys will have a MONSTER on your hands. Right now it's a little "iffy" to recommend.

This little cable is exactly what everyone needs who wants to be able to maximize garageband. ampkit, etc. (not amplitube...yet) with a guitar on their iPad/iPhone. Recording is a dream com true with this cable. Yes, it is white, and yes it doesn't click in as snuggly to the usb jack on the iOS device or the guitar input as I'd like (what someone else mentioned before)... but it is not meant to be used while jumping around a stage during a concert! It does exactly what they claim it will do and I can't imagine the Apogee Jam being any better (as that product does not have a line out, AND is a friggin' BOX that you have to connect to... not a nice "all-in-one-cable" solution like the iRiffport is). The guys at pocketlabworks have really got it down (aside from the input connection sturdiness....although I have never had it randomly unplug from my guitar/iPhone/iPad). This cable eliminates all crosstalk and even has a line out which I have now connected to PA systems and can truly say: Who needs a half stack and pedal board?! This thing needs no extra power source and puts out just as good of sound as my old mesa boogie dual rectifier with BOSS pedals did back in the day..... You won't regret getting this!
