Cool! You’ll need a connector that has two RCA inputs on one side and a 1/8” stereo plug on the other (to get into the iPod), which are easy to find. Have fun bro!

IG, it is certainly a fun little amp! The amp does support the ability to plug in an mp3 player or a cd player, but I have not tried that functionality yet.

It has RCA input jacks on the back of the amp, so I suspect that it’s fairly easy to work with, assuming you have some way of connecting RCA jacks to the mp3 player. I don’t see any reason why your playalongs wouldn’t work. Since I don’t have an RCA-dock connector for the iPod, I don’t have the ability right now to connect my iPod to the amp, so I can’t really test that functionality out.

If I get a chance to try out the input capabilities of the amp, then I’ll let you know. I’m still knew to the amp, so I’m still learning about the features, but the basic features work great so far, and getting starting with some jam tracks is very easy.

That looks like a fun little amp. I’m interested to know how the “jamming” capabilities work out for ya. I’ve heard that you can plug in an MP3 player as well into the G-DECs, so that you can loop songs from the player. I’ve been wanting to check that out, so that I can recommend it for a “playalong” amp. I have free playalongs at IG BLOG, and I’m always looking for different ways to use playalongs and let folks know. Let me know if you’ve tried the MP3 player connection and how the sound of the MP3 player reproduces. I am not ever sure what kind of connection it is.

I tried the Vox Valvetronix once and it is a really nice modeling amp, but you’re right that it doesn’t have the “jamming” capabilities of the G-DEC.

Cool!
