The AMP3's guitar input features four amp sounds - Clean, Hot Tube, Over Drive and High Gain and a tone expander control that changes the sound of a guitar from warm and rich to bright with heavy undertones.

The company says that AMP3 customers can easily plug in their MP3 or CD player and listen to their music collection. "Should inspiration strike, simply plug in a guitar to the AMP3 guitar input, tune-up with the integrated tuner and jam along using the AMP3 built-in DSP effects."

The AMP3 features a line-in and line-out making it a perfect companion for listening to and recording music on a PC or MP3 player.
