In their February issue, Premier Guitar rounds up 5 guitar-friendly interfaces under $200 with IK's new iRig HD X making the cut. It gets high marks for sound, portability and versatility, letting you record or jam wherever you are.

Using the included software, there's no limit to the tones you'll find to keep playing with HD X.

iRig HD X has the same 24-bit/96 kHz AD conversion rate as all the units and seems designed for quick-and-dirty tracking with iPhone of iPad.

The preamp is instrument-only — no microphones — and it's got amp and headphone outs, all mono-only.

AmpliTube 5 SE is included for amp emulations and TONEX SE, with lots of outboard-gear-modeling options, is also part of the package.

Plus, the LoopBack+ virtual effects loop brings even more value to this tiny titan.
