 Hey, it's Ellie from TC Helicon, and I'm going to walk you through the quick start guide of our new Go Guitar. Go Guitar is a mobile interface allowing you to practice guitar without the use of an amplifier, even though I do have one here. I'm going to show you how that'll work later. Or if you just want to record some ideas, play them with guitar effects, this is your go-to device. So Go Guitar has a headphone input, a guitar input, and an output up here, which you can use to send to either an amplifier, maybe front-of-house, or wherever it is that you want to send it to. I should also tell you that the guitar input can also be used for any line-level instrument. So a keyboard, we actually had a guy that uses kind of a MIDI saxophone. He was able to plug into there as well. So any line-level instrument will work through there. There is no battery. It's fully powered by your mobile device, so I'll show you that in a moment. And you can use a tablet, a mobile device, like a cell phone, and it works for Android and iOS. So let's give this a go. I've got my guitar, and I'm going to go ahead and plug that in. Here we go. And my headphones, put that in the bottom here. Okay, so what I'm going to do is on the side here we have our gain staging. So I'm going to put that all the way down to zero just to start. I also have an effects switch here. It says effects or through. So when I'm sending my audio signal out through this output here, say I'm sending it to a sound guy in front of house. If I want to send him a clean sound without any of the effects that I'm using through a mobile app, I'm going to put it to through. If I want him to have the effects that I'm using with the app, I put it onto FX, and that'll send him an affected signal. Okay, so I'm all plugged in here. And now I'm going to plug into my mobile device. So I am using an iPad. So I'm going to use this dongle, which changes the eighth inch to lightning. Voila, we're all plugged in, put my headphones on. So the first thing I need to do with GarageBand is just make sure that I have my monitoring turned on. So I hit the little icon that looks like a guitar jack, and then I hit monitor. And now I'm going to be able to hear myself. As this is a two-way monitoring device. So now that I have that, this is going to kind of light up green when it has a signal. So to give it a signal, I'm going to turn my gain up. Now you see that it's flashing green. So it sounds pretty good. Give it a little bit more. You can also see over here as well. So what you don't want is for it to light red. So I'm going to turn it up all the way. And I didn't go red there either, so we're good. I'm still going to turn it down just a little bit. Okay, so in order for you guys to hear what I'm playing, I'm going to hit record. So you can hear I've got a GarageBand amp modeling app open. And just kind of playing around with the sounds. I've got kind of a nice clean blues combo amp. Electric guitar sound like an electric guitar. It's pretty awesome and it's a lot of fun. So say you do have an amp that you want to use. Maybe there's just some pedals that you want to play around with. You don't want the amp modeling. So I'm going to stop this, hit this pedal button. So yeah, say maybe I just want to use the pedals and I want to use my actual amp. So I've got this cable plugged into my input on my amp. And I'm just going to come around here and plug into, put this on standby. Plug into here. And click that on. There we go. So again, if I want no effects from my app, maybe I'm just like, maybe I'm on stage and I want to record my guitar playing during a gig so that I can listen back to it afterwards and see where I've maybe made some mistakes and what I need to clean up within my set. So maybe I just want like a clean send. So I've got that effects through button on the side here. And I've just switched it over through so I have a nice clean sound. And I'm just using the effects on my amp now. But if I want to use those effects from my app here, you can hear the sound is quite different. So that's how you use the effects through and the output on the go guitar. So it's pretty simple. It's very easy to use. It's very portable. It's very lightweight and you don't need any battery power. The mobile device that you're using powers the go guitar. So definitely a really great tool for touring, for practicing and for recording your set while you're playing if you wanted to have a quick little recording. So hopefully you guys found that helpful.
