When I play Guitar Hero, I don’t like how unrealistic it is. Yeah, that’s being picky. But it is a lot of fun. In fact, when I play Rock Band, I usually gravitate towards the drums. I don’t play drums and it’s just fun to bang around. JamVox has a really cool guitar karaoke product, however, that will delight genuine guitarists.
JamVox includes hardware and software to make guitar karaoke possible. The result is a really slick amp/guitar emulation program that allows you to practice and play any guitar piece. What’s sick is that you can just input any song from your song library to use. That’s great functionality. And the Vox setup comes with a great USB monitor that has various inputs. The result is an incredible package that will keep any guitarist busy for a very long time.
Revolutionary new GXT (Guitar XTracktion) function lets you cancel or extract the guitar part of an existing song.
19 famous guitar amps and 54 effect units ranging from vintage to modern are provided as software.
Easy-to-use “drag and drop” interface enables guitarists to create their “dream guitar rig” without any advanced knowledge of amps or effects. Sound famous fast!
A music player feature with convenient functions for jam sessions or practice.
Import music files to jam along with from your favorite CDs, music library or MP3 player.
A dedicated USB monitor speaker is included, and there’s no need for complex wiring or specialized knowledge of computer music.
Two guitar play-along CDs containing 28 famous rock classics.
But the best way to understand this setup is to see it in action. I was drooling:
