Average Rating: 
Rating: - Great product
This guitar cable works extremely well with garageband, which is what I use. It works with both acoustical and electric guitar, but works better with an electric. It was definitely worth the money.
Rating: - You need a preamp - this isn't clear in the description
There is nothing wrong with this cable - it is good quality, albeit a tad overpriced.

Previously i'd been using a Tascam US 122 interface for recording. I love the US 122 because it's quiet, bus powered, light weight and works well, but as simple as it is, it's more complicated than the GB Griffin cable, and it's another thing ... Read More
Rating: - WARNING! - Intel Macs - Set input in GarageBand prefs!
I just got this cable today, and experienced the same problems some of the other reviewers had with getting sound out of the guitar. It's not the cable's fault. If you're using one of the new Intel Macs, you have to go into the preferences for GarageBand (not the general system sound prefs), and make sure that your sound input is set to Line-in, instead of built-in microphone. Without that setting, you're going to get nothing but feedback.
When you're set up properly, however, this cable ... Read More
