iAxe USB Guitar
Plucking genius
Sorry, this product is not available.
The electric guitar is without doubt the greatest weapon in the rock 'n'
roll armoury. Indeed the crunching kerrang of a nicely distorted axe is, in our humble opinion, the finest sound in the world.
The problem is, achieving sonic nirvana whilst spanking your plank requires all manner of accessories, including racks of pedals and a whopping great stack. Step forward the amazing iAxe 393 USB Guitar.

This revolutionary instrument might look like a top-notch electric guitar featuring a maple neck, solid body, single-coil pickups with 5-way switching, chrome machine heads and a vintage whammy bar - and that's because it is. But it's also an ingenious USB-friendly axe that allows you to transform your computer into an amp, effects rack and recording system without any additional hardware.
Going way past eleven in terms of features, this Strat-style guitar comes with idiot-proof software that lets you jam along with your favourite music files. You can even slow tracks down or speed them up for learning and practising - ideal if you're into shredding metal or plodding pop. There's also a multi-track recording/editing function, so you can record your wicked riffing, two-handed tap-offs and sweeping arpeggios (or something like that) on the spot. Sticking your tongue out like him out of Kiss is entirely optional.
But what does all this hi-tech jiggery pokery do sound-wise? Well, pretty much everything as the included software can recreate countless combo sounds, from tube to transistor, soft to distorted, warm to edgy.
No wall of speakers or mile-long pedal deck required. And if you're worried about the neighbours (how very un-rock 'n' roll) you can listen to your plucking genius via headphones.
Whether you're a wannabe widdler or a lightning-fingered axemeister, the iAxe 393 USB Guitar is guaranteed to blow you away with its playability, sound and functionality. So get ordering before we come over all rock starry and smash the entire shipment to smithereens. For those about to rock, we salute you.

"...the ultimate remedy for executive stress."Real Business - Feb '08
"Recording a rockin' riff used to involve lots of wires, tapes and angered neighbours. Not anymore. Whether you want to have a bedroom jam with headphones or record the next masterpiece, the iAxe has got it covered."www.fhm.com - Jun '07
"Yet we must confess to getting some geeky satisfaction from both guitars and computers, so the prospect of combining both in a USB guitar has a certain so-wrong-it's-right charm."Computer Buyer - May '07
"A host of amp sounds and guitar effects. You can record your playing direct to hard disc, and the guitar's headphone jack is perfect for practicing...You can even use the iAxe as a standard guitar. Rock on."Stuff - Apr '07
"We've been trying to figure out how to record a no. 1 single using our computer's music software and with this USB equipped guitar we can do it easily - just plug in and play!"Nuts - Apr '07

This guitar looks awesome. I want to know how long the strap is. I once bought a guitar with a strap bundled and it was too small. Also, how soon until a vista version comes out, or will it not?Mike, London - 28th July 2009
Firebox says: It's adjustable to 52 inches.
I am a MAC user, is this guitar fully compatible and can I play it with my 'Garageband'programe or am I limited to the amp settings in the software supplied, only one of which is free with the software with others available to purchase thereafter. Also, how long is the USB connection lead?Scotty, Reading - 31st May 2009
Firebox says: The USB connection lead is 1.5m. We don't believe that Garageband is compatible but this will work on a Mac. Native Instruments "Guitar Combos" Software is included with this item though!
Does this guitar only work with pc's and amps??
i have usb ports on my home cinema kit and was wondering if it would work through that?alexandra.dey, Plymouth - 18th February 2009
Firebox says: You may be able to hook this up so you can use the speakers in your home cinema, but for the recording suite you'll need a computer to be able to use the software!
To those that ask, no the guitar will not play without PC, it needs USB to power the guitar, yes you can play it with an amp, it has traditional amp output, no you do not NEED an amp, just connect to computer and use headphones, no it is not vista compatible, we are working on this. Yes it will work the ACID etc. Hope this helps. :-).KARENl, New Zealand - 19th July 2008
Firebox says: Thanks for the input Kareni!
The driver download page on BEHRINGER's website says it is compatable with Vista. Just an update for you as I spent about an hour searching for that answer.David, Seattle - 26th June 2008
Can the iAxe play out of the PC's speakers, or do we have to get an amplifier?Pedro Dores, Lisbon, Portugal - 13th November 2007
Firebox says: Hi Pedro, the iAxe is made to go through a P.C., although it works just as well through an amp
Can you get this in a left handed version? If so how can I order it.Andy, Surrey - 8th August 2007
Firebox says: I am afraid not at this stage Andy :(
This is a great guitar! If you are not happy with the software included, I recommend you get hold of the AP Tuner (Google it) and the VST Host with FreeAmp SE_15 plugin (Google it). Guess what? Both are free. It may take a while to set up and to get the programs to realise that the guitar is there, but it's worth it. Really.Lewis, London - 7th August 2007
Firebox says: Thanks for the handy info Lewis!
So can this guitar work with any amp ?
I allready have an amp at home and are wondering if it works with it.
This guitar looks absolutely amazing, what with all the iPod-esque white-ness going on.
Your in luck, I might consider buying this little baby.... .Elliott Czupich, London - 23rd June 2007
Firebox says: That's super news Elliott, and on another good note, it can be used with any traditional amp yes.
Does the guitar work with any music recording software - like ACID?Mattster, Southampton - 16th June 2007
Firebox says: It is only set up to work with the soft included that is designed by Behringer. Software includes:
3 different combos (PC/Mac)
Kristal Audio Engine (PC)
Audacity (PC/Mac)
BEHRINGER USB AUDIO-Driver (PC)
