Connecting your guitar to your phone

You don't need to buy expensive (and proprietary) equipment to connect your guitar to your phone. Android is Linux, and everything that works on Linux ought to (and does) work on Android too.

Analog connection

The simplest way to connect your guitar to your phone is to use adapters. Since the guitar jack is 1/4" TRS and the phone input is 3.5mm 4 way pin, you need two adapters:

  1. 1/4" TRS to 3.5mm adapter ($2) Link on Amazon (Not affiliated)
  2. Two Way 3.5mm splitter to Mic and Headphone

You simply connect your guitar jack to the 1/4" TRS to 3.5mm adapter, and then this adapter to Two Way 3.5mm splitter. Connect a headphone or speakers to this splitter, and connect the splitter to the phone. **Restart the app ** to make it route audio through the splitter automatically, or manually set it by going to Settings -> Audio Devices
