An iPhone/iPad as a violin effects processor?

Griffin Technology recently announced a guitar connection cable for the iPhone/iPad/iTouch. This cable allows you to plug in a guitar/bass/keyboard to the iDevice and use it as an effects processor while running the free iShred LIVE app.

The big question is, will it work with an electric violin?? Many times the impedance or other issues of an electric violin/violin pickup can differ from other instruments.

Right now, the cable is “sold out” on the website and it doesn’t look like stock will be available anytime soon. The iShred LIVE app is free and the cable is $30 — this is a fantastic value.

I’m hoping that when it is available I may be able to try it out. Very cool toy!
