    Hmm ...

    Everything is there:

    http://www.wavesgtr.com/html/product_igtr_sounds.html

    UTILIZATION

    Operation is simple but the round buttons are not at all accurate.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Noise level is average, with some effects like wha who are nice, the rest is not good especially the different amp models, it's pretty horrible. Do not use it with good headphones or you will hear all the defects of thing and it breaks everything. It's a cheap little trick to play with headphones and should not expect much.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I already had a Line 6 Pocket Pod Express which was not great and that's worse. I do not recommend.

    Portable modeler/amp

    Waves iGTRPublished on 06/15/11 at 20:03
    Waves has recently made their own little, portable guitar amp. This thing is meant to strap onto your hip so you can play wherever you are. It's a very small device, and it has a few switches and knobs. At the top, you have the different effects you can dial in. You can choose between chorus, reverb and delay. The knob next to it controls how much of the effect you'd like. Next, you have a wah, trem or phaser switch. The knob to the right controls the aggressiveness of that effect. Finally, you can choose between what kind of amp you want - warm, bright or normal. The knob next to it controls the gain.

    UTILIZATION

    This thing is really haggard. For one, it's not that versatile at all. The toggle switches themselves are very plastic-y feeling, and I wonder how easily they'll break. I never liked the whole "put an amp on your hip and walk around while playing" aspect, so maybe this thing just isn't for me. On the other hand, it's super simple to setup. Anybody can plug into this and get some sort of sound. Just don't expect anything good. There's really no need to read the manual for this thing.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound is awful. It's buzzy, thin and the effects are trash. Let's start with the effects - for one, you can barely control anything on them. You can either control the intensity or the level. Both of which are pretty much combined into one knob, so it's real hard to dial in anything usable. The amp models themselves sound like pure ass. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody.

    OVERALL OPINION

    If someone offers to buy you one of these, politely decline it. They're not even worth checking out, it's that bad. The effects suck, the amp models suck, the device feels flimsy, and walking around with an amp on your hip is just plain stupid. Spend your money elsewhere.

    Well frankly

    Nothing to add

    UTILIZATION

    Simplissime

    SOUND QUALITY

    Quality is bluffing in its clear or crunch with a bit of reverb.
    Although the above sounds line6.
    The output level is quite sufficient.
    A little compressed but respects the timbre of the guitar so amazing (shades of microphones ...).
    I tested it with single coil (Telecaster), maybe a little different with doubles?
    The effects are nice. Too bad the chorus and reverb can not be combined (put the chorus in the atmosphere is a bit curious).
    Much worse with distortion (at best line6 for once).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought it yesterday. I wanted a small inexpensive model for my daughter. I have a Pocketpod I found a way.
    Critics of the forum were not engaging but I had little alternative for the budget (50 €). The store offered the Vox amPlug or iGTR.
    It's a very nice surprise if one is looking for a pocket amp train with an excellent clean sound, but without having to saturation (not terrible).
    I never managed to get to work with headphones, because I missed the sound of my guitars on the various widgets used (in the Rockman Pod Pandora through the first generation) I preferred to play in the evening mini-volume ( not evident on a MesaBoogie) or not plugged into the sofa ... here I am conquered.
    I'm still a little surprised by assessments rather severe (search overdrive defective or series?).
    The quality / price is good for the current price (it was 90 € before it's too expensive).
    I would do this choice very soon. The first is for my daughter, I took one for me.

    UTILIZATION

    Very easy to use. User manual in English, useless.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Clear sound: good, realistic and varied, in my opinion over the Pod Express. As for saturation, they are correct without too synthetic and is better at Pod. Those who like big satus will be disappointed.
    The special effects are surprisingly successful and wha and responsive!
    The IGTR is made for the headphones or the sound system but passes on an amp.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It is a good product but you can not put the chorus with reverb or delay! But you can mix the phaser and chorus.
    In addition there is no tuner, not even a La.
    Price: varied right now, as sold new between 90.00 and 39.00 in septemmbre 2010. Usually it is found around 50,00 €. The value would be great if there was a metronome granted.
