  iRig Family Expands
IK Multimedia has expanded their iRig family of iOS interfaces with two new offerings, the iRig Stomp and the iRig Mic Cast.

  • The iRig Stomp is a stompbox-format interface designed for guitarists who want to use apps on stage. The iRig Stomp can serving as the interface that turns your iPad or iPhone into your complete rig or into a virtual stompbox. The stage-ready heavy-duty metal housing includes a durable footswitch for true-bypass switching, a built-in headphone output, battery power, and much more.

  • iRig Mic Cast is an electret condenser microphone that provides a great-sounding portable recording solution. A desktop stand is included as is the iRig Recorder app. A tone knob is provided for shaping the sound of your recordings. The iRig Mic Cast connects to your iOS device's 1/8" input, so the 30-pin connector remains free.

Big String Tuner
Q: I'm using one of my guitars for a lot of very low tunings (almost like a baritone guitar) and I want to use heavy strings so I can have good tension when I am tuned down. What is the biggest size string that I can use on a regular tuning machine?

A: Most standard guitar tuning machines will work with strings up to around .060 in gauge, give or take a few thousandths of an inch. For even heavier strings, you may need to find a tuner with a larger hole, or you may be able to carefully enlarge the tuner hole a bit to allow a larger string to pass through. This should only be an issue with low E tuner in most cases.
