How cool is this? I mean it even looks cool doesn’t it?

‘JamVOX gives guitarists instant access to dozens of legendary amps and effects all in one easy to use drag and drop software interface.’ – Now that’s the interesing part of this for under £150 you’ve got a USB guitar interface and a monitor plus software.

‘Alternatively, you can extract or isolate the guitar part, slow down the tempo, and practice any style of music without changing the pitch.’ – Again I am sceptical to the software but if you add up the interface, the monitor and the effects software then it’s a pretty hot deal.

So um yes it got added to my never ending wishlist.

Gonna need a bigger boat methinks…
