In this video, Jon Wright shares his first impressions of IK's iRig HD X, the ultra-portable interface for guitar and bass. Despite its compact size, the HD X lets you do everything from practicing your instrument with headphones to performing on stage through loudspeakers.

Watch as Jon explains.

This is the most compact and lightweight way of getting a guitar signal into an iPhone or iPad or laptop.

As a mobile practice or warm-up tool, it's incredibly portable. So there's no reason not to have it with you.

If you use the iOS version of AmpliTube or TONEX, you can get literally great guitar sound.

Would I take this little thing with me as a backup? Would I use it to warm up or practice? Would I use it if I were a one-man band playing and singing to backing tracks? YES!

Compact enough to store in your gig bag, iRig HD X lets you connect anytime with inspiring new ways to play and sound amazing. Includes versions of TONEX and AmpliTube for Mac/PC and iPhone/iPad.
