Let’s see how it’s done in detail.

Step 1 of 3

Get a guitar adapter

To connect a guitar, you need a special guitar adapter. The adapter turns guitar sound into a data that can be read by your device.

There are two types of adapters: analog and digital. Analog uses a headphone jack for connection, while digital uses a USB port. Currently Tonebridge supports only analog devices.

Step 2 of 3

Сonnect adapter to your Android device

Use a connection guide that came with your adapter. Each adapter has its own connection scheme, but the general rule is to plug the device into a headphone jack.

If your adapter has a volume control, be sure it's not set to zero.

Connect guitar to adapter

Use any guitar cable with 1/4" jack. For example, like this one:

Plug one end of the cable into your guitar, and the other end into the adapter.

That's it! Your guitar should be connected now, and you can start playing.
