How to Connect an iPad to a Guitar Amp
The iPad has a number of apps designed to emulate the sound of guitars and other musical instruments, and there are a number of devices designed to help you connect your guitar to the iPad. Most of these solutions are designed to be used with headphones or a mixer, but connecting the iPad to a guitar amp for output is not as straightforward. With the help of a few adapters, you can connect your iPad to your guitar amp to play any music or audio output directly.
