The iPod app that you have to buy separately to the $80 piece of hardware (I wonder why I ever thought that seemed like a good deal) has a few modelling effects and such I was hoping to use guitarix as a less fancy version with simple clean and distortion options.Įdit: Logging out and back in seems to have restored sound to the way it was before also when I say the Ampkit was $80, I'm talking about NZD so like $0.It only does one thing, but it does it well - it digitizes your guitar signal and sends it to your iOS device. If I go to sound setting > input and strum on the guitar I can see the little green bar lighting up so there is sound going into the computer, I don't know how to send that back to the speakers without some program like guitarix. Yes, what I am trying to do is guitar -> Ampkit -> Computer -> guitarx -> speakers/headphones Jackdmp version 1.9.11 tmpdir /dev/shm protocol 8 Under certain conditions see the file COPYING for details This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it Jackdmp comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY Sensors: System Temperatures: cpu: 46.0C mobo: N/A RAID: No RAID devices: /proc/mdstat, md_mod kernel module present Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture v: k4.13.0-41-generic Graphics: Card: Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller bus-ID: 00:02.0ĭisplay Server: X.Org 1.18.4 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Ivybridge Mobile GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 12.0.6 Direct Rendering: YesĪudio: Card Intel 7 Series/C210 Series Family High Definition Audio Controller Machine: System: LENOVO (portable) product: 2359CTO v: ThinkPad T530 Then I got a can't lock down memory error so I added myself to the audio group before logging out and back in.Ĭode: Select all System: Host: usernameredacted-ThinkPad-T530 Kernel: 4.13.0-41-generic x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 5.4.0)ĭesktop: Cinnamon 3.4.6 (Gtk 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3) Distro: Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya be-started and tried installing jackd allowing it to lock down memory. However I can't get any sound out of Guitarix.Īt first I got a can't start jack error so I found this post. My Lenovo ThinkPad T530 has a 3 pole audio jack so I figured compatibility would be fine. The Ampkit link has a 1/4" mono input (for plugging the guitar into), a stereo output (for plugging headphones into) and a three pole jack for connecting to the iPod. I found a great looking piece of software called guitarix - I'm not a professional musician or even that good so all I need is a reasonable clean sound and some not terrible distortion. Therefore I wanted to seek another solution and of course Linux is the answer to most problems caused by Apple or Microsoft. However, as you probably know, Apple, in their infinite (infinitessimal?) wisdom, have been making batteries non-user replaceable since forever. Recently the battery on that iPod has gone kaput, the battery going bad isn't so surprising since I have had the iPod for a good 7 - 8 years and haven't been the most friendly to the poor Lithium ion battery. Hi, for a long time I have been using a Peavey ampkit link with an iPod touch (4th gen) as a guitar amp (mostly because I need to play with headphones and I have been moving a lot so don't want to carry a proper amp around).
