The Waves iGTR Portable Amplifier is designed to solve the rising problem of neighbourhood vandalism and torture, by giving aspiring rockers a way to ‘get down, man’ to their own sounds without disturbing the peace. Just stick your Fender axe into one end, an iPod into the other, a set of headphones on your noggin and off you go. Crank it up to 11 – man, that’s a tired old joke, eh? – and let rip. I have a feeling that if you knock on a few doors down your street, you’ll quickly get some contributions towards the purchase price. £69.95.
Battery-operated, this sleek box of electronic whizz-bangery is set to revolutionise the way plank spankers rehearse because it delivers the sound of various guitar amps and effects, anytime, anyplace. Simply plug in your guitar, hook up some headphones or a speaker and you’re ready to rock…or roll, or wah-wah, or reverb, or phase, or whatever you fancy. The amazingly tweakable iGTR can add virtually any effect. You can even plug in your MP3 player and strum along to your favourite tunes…
