Quick Start Guide FAQ Reviews About Buy
Quick Start Guide for GuitarJack Model 1 (Click here for GuitarJack Model 2)

Step 1: Connect GuitarJack Model 1 to your device.

Step 2: Start a GuitarJack enabled app. In this example, we will be using FourTrack.

Step 3: Tap on the Song Tools menu. A list of Song Tools will appear. Tap on the GuitarJack Song Tool.

Step 4: Choose which input you plan on using. In this instance, we will be recording a guitar plugged into the 1/4" jack. Plug your guitar into the 1/4" jack and headphones into the 1/8" inch output jack.

Step 5: Set the impedance to whatever setting is needed for your particular use. For guitar, we will set the impedance to Hi-Z.

Step 6: Strum some chords to determine the proper input gain level, and move the slider to select. Be careful not to set it too high so the signal clips.

Step 7: Exit the GuitarJack tool by clicking the arrow icon. Input monitoring is on by default. To hear the input, a track must be armed. Arm a track and you are now ready to begin recording!
GuitarJack Model 1 User Guide
Features Overview
  • 1/4" instrument input with configurable pad, Lo-Z and Hi Z modes
  • 1/8" stereo mic/line input with pad, normal and boost modes
  • Each input has 60dB of continuous level control
  • 1/8" stereo output with increased drive for headphones
  • Sleek and rugged metal shell
  • Dock connector compatible with iPod touch (2nd and 3rd generation)
Getting Started Using GuitarJack Model 1 with FourTrack Plug GuitarJack in before launching FourTrack. The GuitarJack control panel is located under Song Tools in FourTrack. This is where you can select a mode and set the input level before recording. The default input configuration, when GuitarJack is connected, uses the Instrument (1/4") input in Lo-Z mode for the left channel and the Mic/Line (1/8") input in Normal mode for the right channel. This allows GuitarJack to work well out of the box with most third party audio apps like tuners, amp modeling apps and other recording apps, even if they do not have a GuitarJack control panel.
Input Gain Control GuitarJack Model 1 allows you to adjust the analog input level for 60 dB of analog input gain (72 dB with the 12 dB pad) controlled with the GuitarJack control panel, located under Song Tools in FourTrack. Observe the metering in the GuitarJack Song Tool to prevent clipping and set gain level appropriately.
Input Monitoring Input monitoring is on by default in FourTrack. The input signal can be heard through the 1/8" headphone output on the GuitarJack Model 1 via the GuitarJack Song Tool so you can adjust your input settings, but will be silent when you exit the GuitarJack Song Tool. Arming a new track will begin monitoring in the headphones.
Using GuitarJack Model 1 with apps that do not have a GuitarJack Control Panel GuitarJack Model 1 is compatible with many recording apps, guitar tuners, and audio effects apps, even if they do not have a GuitarJack control panel. To change modes or set levels for use with third party apps, configure the settings using an app with the GuitarJack control panel (FourTrack, GuitarTone, or Taylor EQ), then quit to launch the third party app (like these). The GuitarJack will retain the current settings and levels. However, if the iOS device sleeps (auto-locks), GuitarJack Model 1 will return to the default settings. You must return to FourTrack or another GuitarJack control panel enabled app to restore the settings. This is not necessary when using an app with the GuitarJack control panel. (GuitarJack Model 2 is improved in that it remembers your settings even if the iOS device sleeps.)

Sonoma Wire Works is preparing the GuitarJack Control Panel SDK for third party developers now, similar to the AudioCopy/AudioPaste SDK.

Stereo recording and simultaneous instrument and voice recording is only possible while using GuitarJack with FourTrack.
Compatibility GuitarJack Model 1 is compatible with iPod touch (2nd and 3rd generation). GuitarJack Model 2 ($149) for iPhone 4, iPad 2, iPad and iPod touch (2nd, 3rd and 4th generation) offers improved compatibility with the latest devices and the addition of an AD/DA converter. Email sales@sonomawireworks.com with questions about compatibility.

The GuitarTone amps and effects app requires iOS 4.2 or later, and is recommended for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S or iPod touch (4th generation). While GuitarTone will work with iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (3rd generation), it will not work as well as with later devices. GuitarTone is not designed to work on iPhone 3G or iPod touch (2nd generation). iPhone 3G and iPod touch (2nd generation) users may use the GuitarJack control panel in Taylor EQ (free). FourTrack 5 now requires iOS 4.3 or later. iPod touch (2nd generation) and iPhone 3G cannot be updated to iOS 4.3, and will not work with the latest version of FourTrack and GuitarTone because Apple has chosen to not update the operating system on those devices.

  4. What are GuitarJack's Features?
  5. How do I get started using GuitarJack?
    Plug GuitarJack in before launching FourTrack. The GuitarJack control panel is located under Song Tools in FourTrack. This is where you can select a mode and set the input level before recording. The default input configuration, when GuitarJack is connected, uses the Instrument (1/4") input in Lo-Z mode for the left channel and the Mic/Line (1/8") input in Normal mode for the right channel. This allows GuitarJack to work well out of the box with most third party audio apps like tuners, amp modeling apps and other recording apps, even if they do not have a GuitarJack control panel.

  6. Which devices work with GuitarJack?
    GuitarJack Model 1 is made for iPod touch (2nd or 3rd generation). GuitarJack Model 1 does not work with iPad, iPhone 4, or iPod touch (4th generation). Apple changed the pins on the 30-pin dock connector on the newer devices while we were developing GuitarJack Model 1. There is no way to update it with software. We continued with production of Model 1 because there wasn't anything available with better sound quality and recording capabilities. GuitarJack Model 2 ($149) for iPhone 4, iPad 2, iPad and iPod touch (2nd, 3rd and 4th generation) offers improved compatibility with the latest devices and the addition of an AD/DA converter. Email sales@sonomawireworks.com with questions about compatibility.

  7. When will GuitarJack Model 1 support iPhone 4 and iPad?
    While GuitarJack Model 1 will NOT work with iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th generation, GuitarJack Model 2 ($149) is made for for iPhone 4, iPad 2, iPad and iPod touch (2nd, 3rd and 4th generation) offers improved compatibility with the latest devices and the addition of an AD/DA converter. Email Sonoma with questions.

  8. Will GuitarJack allow me to adjust the input level?
    GuitarJack allows you to adjust the analog input level for 60 dB of analog input gain (72 dB with the 12 dB pad) controlled with the GuitarJack control panel, located under Song Tools in FourTrack. Observe the metering in the GuitarJack Song Tool to prevent clipping and set gain level appropriately.

  9. Does GuitarJack do input monitoring?
    Input monitoring is on by default in FourTrack. The input signal can be heard through the 1/8" headphone output on the GuitarJack via the GuitarJack Song Tool so you can adjust your input settings, but will be silent when you exit the GuitarJack Song Tool. Arming a new track will begin monitoring in the headphones.

  10. How does GuitarJack compare with other input options?
    Sonoma Wire Works made this comparison chart of audio accessories for iOS Devices. Ampkit LINK developers have approved this chart, and we welcome feedback from the other companies. Sonoma Wire Works recommends comparing the sound of the recording quality from each of these devices, and believes you'll be pleased with GuitarJack. GuitarJack is Made in the U.S.A. unlike most audio input accessories for iOS devices.

  11. What makes GuitarJack better than other iOS guitar input accessories?
    When compared with guitar input adapters that connect via the headset input, GuitarJack has the least amount of crosstalk. The headset input inherently has a lot of crosstalk (noticeable with recording and input-monitoring), and the only way for the accessory to communicate with Apps (necessary for stereo recording and more) is via the dock connector. GuitarJack offers the quieter and software-controllable dock connector route.

    GuitarJack is better than alternatives because it is the only dock connecting, device-powered accessory that offers stereo recording and simultaneous voice and instrument recording with apps like FourTrack; a 1/4 inch instrument input with configurable Pad, Lo-Z and Hi-Z modes and 60dB of continuous level control; a 1/8 inch stereo mic/line input with configurable Pad and 60dB of continuous level control; and an 1/8 inch stereo output with increased drive for headphones.

    How is GuitarJack better than the Apogee Jam?
    • GuitarJack has stereo mic/line-input, Apogee Jam has mono instrument input only.
    • GuitarJack has configurable Hi-Z or Lo-Z 1/4" instrument input, Apogee Jam input is Hi-Z only.
    • GuitarJack can simultaneously record instrument and microphones using both inputs, Jam only has instrument input.
    • GuitarJack has software controllable input level control with 60dB of gain plus 12dB pad for 72dB of adjustment, Apogee Jam only has analog thumb wheel adjustment with 40dB of gain.
    • GuitarJack has a line/headphone jack with more drive than the iPhone built-in headphone jack, Apogee Jam has no output.
    • GuitarJack has a dock connector built-in, whereas Apogee Jam requires a custom Apogee cable.

    Contact sales@sonomawireworks.com to ask about compatibility.

    For more information on what differentiates GuitarJack from other devices, please see the GuitarJack Forum thread on this topic. Subscribe to News about GuitarJack.

  12. Why is GuitarJack more expensive than some other options?
    The engineering, chips, circuitry, 3 jacks, 30 pin connector, machined aluminum housing and other high quality materials involved in producing it makes the GuitarJack cost more than adapters that plug into the headset jack, but if you are looking for the best sounding solution that works best for recording, GuitarJack is the premium choice.

  13. Which apps can I use with GuitarJack?
    GuitarJack works best with FourTrack ($9.99) and Taylor EQ (free) because they include the GuitarJack control panel. However, GuitarJack is compatible with many recording apps, guitar tuners, and audio effects apps, even if they do not have a GuitarJack control panel. To change modes or set levels for use with third party apps, configure the settings using an app with the GuitarJack control panel (like the free Taylor EQ app), then quit to launch the third party app. The GuitarJack will retain the current settings and levels. However, if the iOS device sleeps (auto-locks), GuitarJack Model 1 will return to the default settings, and you must return to FourTrack or another GuitarJack control panel enabled app to restore the settings. (Note: GuitarJack Model 2 remembers these settings even after the iOS device sleeps, so you do not need to return to a GuitarJack control panel enabled app to restore the settings.

    Sonoma has tried GuitarJack with the following third party apps that do not include a GuitarJack Control Panel and they work great. We're sure GuitarJack works with many more audio apps! Sonoma Wire Works is keeping track of GuitarJack compatible third party apps in the GuitarJack Forums.

    The only amp model that we know doesn't work is AmpliTube, and we communicated with IK the necessary changes they would have to make in AmpliTube to make it work with GuitarJack.

  14. Is there a free app with the GuitarJack control panel?
    Yes there are two free Apps with the GuitarJack control panel. The new GuitarTone amps and effects App includes the GuitarJack control panel. Many of GuitarTone's features are built-in to FourTrack as a Song Tool. The free Taylor EQ App, which Sonoma Wire Works developed in conjunction with Taylor Guitars, includes the GuitarJack control panel. Many of Taylor EQ's features are built-in to FourTrack as a Song Tool.

    The GuitarTone amps and effects app requires iOS 4.2 or later, and is recommended for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S or iPod touch (4th generation). While GuitarTone will work with iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (3rd generation), it will not work as well as with later devices. GuitarTone is not designed to work on iPhone 3G or iPod touch (2nd generation). iPhone 3G and iPod touch (2nd generation) users may use the GuitarJack control panel in Taylor EQ (free). FourTrack 5 now requires iOS 4.3 or later. iPod touch (2nd generation) and iPhone 3G cannot be updated to iOS 4.3.

  15. What is the Taylor EQ app?
    The Taylor EQ iOS app is an input EQ for enhancing the sound of a Taylor guitar when played through GuitarJack on an iOS device. Players can select from a range of EQ presets that complement Taylor's signature guitar body shapes, including the Grand Auditorium, Grand Symphony, Grand Concert, Dreadnought, T5, or the new GS Mini. Each EQ preset was custom designed by Taylor Guitars' engineers to optimize the tone of each body shape for use with the GuitarJack. Players can also create a custom tone for any guitar by using the six-band parametric equalizer in Advanced EQ mode, and play along to their favorite songs by launching Taylor EQ while the iPod app is playing.

    While the Taylor EQ app will work with most guitar adapters and any acoustic guitar, it is optimized for use with the GuitarJack and Taylor guitars equipped with the company's Expression System® for the highest quality sound. Taylor EQ is the first free app to include the GuitarJack control panel, which allows users to configure the GuitarJack settings and levels. Many Taylor EQ features are built-in to FourTrack to enhance recordings of Taylor guitars or any other acoustic guitar.

  16. What are Taylor EQ app's features?

    The Taylor EQ Features:

    • Six Taylor Guitar EQ Presets: Select from a range of EQ presets that complement Taylor's signature guitar body shapes, including the Grand Auditorium, Grand Symphony, Grand Concert, Dreadnought, T5, or the GS Mini.
    • Advanced Mode: Use the 6 band Parametric EQ with frequency, gain and pinch-for-Q gesture control to create a custom tone for your Taylor Guitar or any guitar. Then save the settings for later use. Toggle between basic and advanced to hear the difference.
    • iPod Playthrough: Play along with your iPod songs on your iPhone or iPod touch while in the Taylor EQ app.
    • Compressor/Limiter: A factory configured compressor-limiter sweetens the sound and keeps the output from clipping, or turn it off to hear the unprocessed output.
    • Monitor Level: Balance the level when playing along with iPod songs. Turn it up to push the compressor harder.
    • GuitarJack Control Panel: GuitarJack connects instruments, stereo line inputs and mics to the iPod Touch (2nd and 3rd generation) via 1/4 inch instrument and 1/8 inch stereo mic/line inputs. GuitarJack features a 1/4 inch instrument with configurable pad, Lo-Z and Hi-Z modes, a 1/8 inch stereo mic/line input that includes pad, normal and boost modes, and a 1/8 inch stereo output with increased drive for headphones. Each input has 60dB of continuous gain/level control. Configure GuitarJack's levels in Taylor EQ for the best possible sound, and what you'll hear through the improved headphone jack sounds better than through the iOS device headphone jack. Levels set using Taylor EQ's GuitarJack Control Panel settings can remain set when you switch to compatible audio apps, even if they do not include the GuitarJack Control Panel.


  17. What are the differences between the Taylor EQ app and the Taylor EQ Song Tool in FourTrack?
    The Taylor EQ Song Tool built-in to FourTrack includes all the same features as the Taylor EQ app except there is no iPod playthrough and no preset saving and loading. Taylor EQ preset saving and loading will be coming to FourTrack. iPod playthrough is not possible in FourTrack.

  18. Will third party apps get the GuitarJack control panel?
    Sonoma is preparing the GuitarJack Control Panel SDK for third party developers now, similar to the AudioCopy/AudioPaste SDK.

  19. Can third party amp modeling apps connect directly to the FourTrack app?
    Does Sonoma plan to develop any amp or pedal modeling software for FourTrack and GuitarJack?
    FourTrack now include GuitarTone amps and effects. The GuitarTone amps and effects app requires iOS 4.2 or later, and is recommended for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S or iPod touch (4th generation). While GuitarTone will work with iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (3rd generation), it will not work as well as with later devices. GuitarTone is not designed to work on iPhone 3G or iPod touch (2nd generation). iPhone 3G and iPod touch (2nd generation) users may use the GuitarJack control panel in Taylor EQ (free).

    FourTrack 5 now requires iOS 4.3 or later. iPod touch (2nd generation) and iPhone 3G cannot be updated to iOS 4.3.

    The third party amps listed above work great with GuitarJack, but cannot be used with FourTrack. As of iOS 4.1, it is not possible to have the audio from one app running into the input of another, so one app cannot mix into another app. The multi-tasking behavior on the phone is quite limited in terms of audio routing between apps. Audio can be blended from one app into the main output along with other apps, like running Pandora in the background, or listening to the iPod app while using the Taylor EQ app. However, two apps using inputs cannot be run at the same time. Only the foreground app has access to the audio input signal, so even if you could put AmpKit into the background, it would not have access to the audio input signal.

    We have long standing relationships with several amp modeling companies. We also have developed a wide array of effects that are included in our RiffWorks recording software (Mac/Win), which includes 7 guitar oriented effects (auto-wah, multiband compression, modulation, delay, reverb, and British style EQ). We are exploring all potential amp modeling solutions, but can't say more at this time.

  20. Which microphones are recommended for use with GuitarJack?
    GuitarJack will work with any un-powered dynamic microphone, eg. Shure SM-57, SM-58, EV RE-20, Sennheiser MD-421, and more. An XLR to 1/4" cable or adapter will be required. A low-Z to hi-Z impedance adapter is NOT required. GuitarJack does NOT provide phantom power, but it can be used with mono or stereo battery powered condenser microphones. Sonoma Wire Works has tested GuitarJack with the following battery powered condenser mics:
    • Rode NT4 ($899 MSRP) - stereo XY condenser microphone with two externally biased 1/2 capsules with gold sputtered diaphragms. Phantom power or 9V battery operation. Doug Wright, Sonoma Wire Works' CEO, uses the Rode NT4.
    • AKG C1000S ($399 MSRP) - cardioid condenser microphone, great for mobile recording or live sound. Phantom or battery power.
    • Sony EMC719 ($89.99 MSRP) - one point stereo microphone.
    • Sony ECMMS907 ($99.99 MSRP) - one-point MS stereo electret condensor mic with adjustable pickup angle.
    • More microphones listed in the GuitarJack Forum Microphone thread.

  21. What do reviewers think?
    • CNET.com - "GuitarJack is one of the best-sounding methods we've tested for directly recording guitar and other instruments...It's built like a tank and works seamlessly with some of the best iOS recording apps."
    • Music Connection - "GuitarJack works with Sonoma's FourTrack recording app and is also compatible with other audio-based Apps I have three guitar amp/stomp pedal modelers/tuners and they all work and sound great using GuitarJack. Solid hardware, rock steady software and great sound."
    • The Loop - "Sonoma brings a lot of music experience to the table and they are a company I trust. The addition of its own piece of hardware puts Sonoma up there as one of the elite companies developing for the iPhone and iPod touch."

  22. Does GuitarJack Model 1 have any known issues?
    When using GuitarJack with FourTrack 4.0 and 4.0.1, the following bug can occur. If the device goes to sleep while FourTrack is running. When FourTrack wakes up, it does not recognize the GuitarJack. The result can be no input monitoring or distortion in the audio, and the control panel will not show the controls.

    There are two simple work arounds:
    1. Quitting FourTrack and relaunching fixes the problem.
    2. In Preferences, Set Auto-lock to Never and the device won't go to sleep, avoiding the problem.
    Note: Un-plugging and re-plugging the GuitarJack without quitting FourTrack does not fix the problem. Sonoma is submitting a fix for this bug.

  23. Does Sonoma Wire Works plan to make GuitarJack or FourTrack for Android?
    One of the reasons FourTrack hasn't been ported to Android yet is that there has not been a syncronized record and playback system on Android, which is necessary for multitrack recording development. Also the Android SDK doesn't include latency information feedback yet, which is also necessary for developing a quality multitrack recording app. We would also have to own all the device(s) and have the time to develop and support them - it would take a lot of time and resources to support the large number of Android devices compared to the small number of iOS devices. We are still keeping an eye on the situation, and it isn't entirely out of the question. Once we are able to develop our software for other devices, we may be able to develop an accessory for Android. At the moment, we only have plans to develop for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
