Use Your Laptop as an Amp or Recording Studio with the USB Guitar Link Cable

Posted on 15 March 2010 by Douglas Moran


So, you’ve got your new Strat, your supply of pics, your cables, your cool shades, and your rock-star haircut.  You’re ready to start whacking away on your axe and compose this century’s answer to “Gloria” or “Satisfaction” or “Smells Like Teen Spirit”.  (Or even “Baby Got Back.”)  Problem is, your wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/mom stole your amp, or worse, didn’t even allow you to buy one (or worse, took it away and hid it).  Now what?

USB Fever’s USB Guitar Link Cable, that’s what.  This little doohicky allows you to plug your guitar directly into your laptop (either PC or Mac), turning it into an amp, or a recording studio if you like.  Plug this baby in, plug in your headphones to the audio jack on your laptop, and deafen yourself to your heart’s content.  Because let’s face it:  we all have laptops these days.

Available from USB Fever for an MSRP of $39.99.

Doug is a nerd from way back, falling for a Commodore PET at the age of 15, and never looking back. Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. The fact that he commutes between his family in Austin and his day job in California is something that he is simply trying to live with. (Isabelle the Corgi helps.)
