Jack - Wireless Guitar Headphone Amplifier

Combining wireless headphone technology with digital amp simulation, Jack provides a discreet, portable and enhanced way to practise the guitar, while unlocking a world of tonal options that replicate the sounds of any guitar, amp and effects-pedal combinations. The system consists of 3 elements: a jack plug transmitter, noise-cancelling earbuds and a smartphone app. The physical elements are designed with simple tactile controls to minimise phone use and keep the focus on playing the guitar for an immersive practice experience. The jack plug's touch-capacitive tip switches seamlessly between active sound presets. Sound presets can be built within the app with powerful tonal controls, limitless gear combinations and simulated effects available for purchase. Gesture controls on the earbuds also enable phone-free volume adjustment and backing track navigation. A long press on the right earbud sets a timestamp on the backing track to which the user can jump back over and over with a double tap until they've mastered the solo. Integration with music streaming services allows users to play along to tracks from their own music library and record their practice sessions. Red Dot Award: Design Concept | Concept | Music & Media
