Deep Thought
I have enough trouble keeping my amp, guitar and pedals working without an issue on stage as-is, why on Earth would I want to involve my phone in that chain of potential failure between pick-up and and input jack?
11:37 am Final demo — Line6 and Planet Waves. Together they are working on a solution to control your guitar and amp from your iPhone.
11:39 am More demo technical difficulties — trying to show how easy it is to switch between settings on an amp and guitar.
11:41 am Can adjust guitar tuning without actually physically changing anything — nothing can be demoed however, as the hardware accessory isn’t communicating with the iPhone.
That looks like fail to me.

Because it seems that if someone could make a bottle opener iPhone app that only worked 10% of the time, thousands of people would eagerly buy it. This is most certainly not for people who use instruments on stages.
Of course, REAL musicians scoff at this because it’s Line 6, who have only made one decent piece of kit ever. (The DL4, natch).

LOL! Getting gear that doesn’t suck to do what you expect even 90% of the time on stage is so hard to do.
