Not just that, if you try to play guitar with a 10ms latency from input to output, you'll find that it's impossible to keep rhythm at all. It's the same effect as a speech jammer: http://www.stutterbox.co.uk/ http://www.stutterbox.co.uk/
And I don't think many people outside the the tech audio community realize how many people have ditched their guitar amplifiers and are playing guitar purely through the iOS devices. It's a great use case for tablets, but is completely infeasible to do on Android at the moment.

I'm super interested in this question because I honestly don't know. My assumption is that among serious guitar players (defined as individuals who play in groups or in front of people at least monthly) the number is almost nil. I'm sure the number of casual guitarists (those who rarely play, but technically own one), this number is quite high. I'm unwilling to even concede the tubes in my amp let alone the amp itself...
- CPLX 12y agoIf you take out the word "purely" you're absolutely right. Few serious guitarists would resign themselves to exclusively playing through an iOS device. Nearly all serious guitarists will do it on a regular basis though, which is the more relevant point.
