Press Release

MacMice, a divison of DVForge, Inc. announces that it will be showing its new JamPod guitar amplifier for Apple's iPod and iPod mini at its booth #1017 at Macworld Conference & Expo, January 11-14, 2005. "While working on our growing music product line this past year, we realized that it would be handy to be able to somehow play a guitar along with the songs stored on an Apple iPod or iPod mini. The JamPod is our little answer to that big need," said C.J. Sorg, Manager, Music Products for DVForge, Inc. "The JamPod just plugs into the top of any dock connector iPod, and lets you plug in your guitar, mix the level with the music from the iPod, and practice away as much as you like, through the iPod's own earbuds, or any other headphones."

JamPod is a 1.6" x 1.6" x .5" gloss white module that plugs into the headphone jack and the remote port on top of any dock connector model iPod or iPod mini. The JamPod is powered by the iPod, so requires no batteries. Inside the JamPod is the same high quality miniature guitar amplifier circuitry used in our company's JamPlug product. There is a mixer circuit that is controlled by the top-mounted volume wheel to adjust the output level into the earbuds or headphones. A 48-inch white guitar cord is included for connecting a guitar or bass to the JamPod.

JamPod works with any electric guitar, electric bass, or other instrument that sends a guitar-level output signal through a 1/4-inch instrument jack. The product will be displayed and demonstrated at the MacMice booth at the Macworld Expo, and will begin shipping in February at a MSRP of $49.99.
