dincz Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Looking for a practice set-up with headphone out. Rather than use an external mp3 player into an aux input, can any multi-fx load mp3's through the USB interface and play them? Just trying to keep the clutter to a minimum.

Guest FretNoMore Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Maybe not what you're looking for, but an iPhone or iPad with a guitar interface and a suitable app can be a great practice setup. My iPhone is my MP3 player anyway. Edited June 22, 2013 by FretNoMore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellonyou Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) The Tascam guitar trainer comes close, but it plays cds. I don't know if there's a version that plays mp3 files. edit: yes the gb10 plays mp3 and wav files.

dincz Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Thanks for the tips. These are good solutions but don't quite suit. Ideally, I'd like a giggable fx box that will double as a trainer. My phone needs are basically stone-age so I can't justify the cost of an iPhone The GB10 comes close but is a bit limited effects-wise. I'm probably looking for something that doesn't exist. For one thing, the cost of the necessary internal memory for music storage would bump up the price of a multi-fx, only to add functionality that most players wouldn't want or need.

winterfire666 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 the digitech GNX4 is a fx board with a full set of bass amps, cabs and effects as well as guitar fx it has a looper, mp3 playback and an 8 track hands free recorder built in, it also has a DBX mic preamp and 4in 4 out audio interface included too :^) they were pretty expensive brand new but still sound great now and are far better sound quality than most current modeling units. they are so good i have 2 :^) and go for little money used on ebay.

canarybass Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I used to have the gb10. Importing mp3s was a bit of a faff, as i remember. I use the peavey ampkit app now, which is excellent for playing along to your iTunes library. And the amps and effects are pretty good too.

Guest MoJo Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) I know someone who gigs in a very successful Led Zep tribute with an iPad. No backline. Just an iPad into the PA and in-ear-monitoring. Sounds bloody good too Edited July 3, 2013 by MoJo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calridian Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Maybe you could have a have a look at a Boss JS-8 or JS-10. I've been using a JS-8 for bass and guitar and with headphones it's really quite effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
