App Description

Taylor EQ is an input EQ for enhancing the sound of a Taylor guitar or any guitar. 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. Each EQ preset was custom designed by Taylor Guitars' engineers to optimize the tone of each body shape.
While it will work with most iOS guitar adapters and any guitar, Taylor EQ is optimized for use with Taylor Guitars equipped with the Expression System and GuitarJack iOS input for the highest quality sound. Adjust GuitarJack's 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch input levels while in Taylor EQ to perfect the sound of your guitar.
Create a custom tone for any guitar by using the six-band parametric equalizer in Advanced EQ mode, and play along to your favorite songs by launching Taylor EQ while the iTunes app is playing.
Sonoma's FourTrack multitrack recorder app also includes the Taylor EQ to enhance recordings of your guitar.
GuitarJack connects a wide range of instruments, microphones, and other audio hardware to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch via 1/4-inch instrument and 1/8-inch stereo mic/line inputs. GuitarJack's 1/8-inch stereo line/headphone output offers increased drive for headphones. When used with apps like FourTrack, GuitarJack offers stereo recording and simultaneous instrument and voice recording, crosstalk free multitrack recording, level control, input monitoring, and the highest quality sound.
Offered at the suggested street price of $149, GuitarJack is available for purchase at Taylor Guitars, Sonoma Wire Works, and select dealers worldwide.

- iPod Playthrough: Play along with your iTunes songs on your iPhone, iPad 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 iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch via 1/4 inch instrument and 1/8 inch stereo mic/line inputs.
