Performance
For just $60, it's hard to beat the convenience and size of the iGTR for those times when you just want to put on your headphones and jam on your guitar. The amp emulation and effects aren't terribly realistic, but there are no computers to boot up, no power adapters to plug in, and no blaring speakers to annoy your neighbors or loved ones.
That said, there are better-sounding options available if you can part with some extra cash. The Line 6 PocketPod or PocketPod Express are popular and equally portable alternatives, and computer connected solutions such as the JamVOX or Native Instruments Guitar Rig Kontrol Edition, offer an exhaustive amount of settings to tweak for getting that perfect tone.
If the iGTR ever sees a version 2.0, we'd like to have a way to shut off the ever-present noise gate (there's something reassuring about a little single-coil hum). Also, an integrated basic MP3 player would be much more elegant than running your iPod through the aux input--especially if you could include an A-B loop and a time-stretching feature for zeroing in on your rock idol's guitar solos. A built-in tuner would be nice, as well.
Waves doesn't offer a rated battery life on the iGTR, but we're pleased to report that the included batteries are still going strong after several weeks of intermittent testing.
