David Ellefson Rock Shop for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch
The David Ellefson Rock Shop app works with POCKETLABWORKS iRiffPort™ Digital Audio Guitar Connection, providing everything guitar and bass players need for turning their iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch into a portable practice guitar amplifier. POCKETLABWORKS PATENTS PENDING technology with iRiffPort integrates an iTunes music player right into the David Ellefson Rock Shop app; with Speed, Pitch, and Loop controls for playing along with your iTunes music. The integrated music player makes it easy to zero in, and slow down guitar riffs for learning by ear. Real time processing adjusts the pitch automatically to standard tuning for Megadeth’s hit record “Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?” from 1986, which was originally recorded slightly below standard guitar tuning.

According to David Ellefson, “The Rock Shop is an outlet for sharing my music and business experience with my fans and the music community. I am thrilled to bring this connection to the iOS mobile platform in partnership with POCKETLABWORKS. And, how convenient to have my own Rock Shop app in my pocket, ready for practice on the road for Megadeth’s upcoming North American tour starting on January 26, 2012!”.

According to Kevin Robertson, POCKETLABWORKS President and Lead Developer, “We are really excited to be working closely with David Ellefson on the new David Ellefson Rock Shop app. In addition to bringing David’s signature sound to iOS, we are thrilled to offer David’s fans an integrated experience for connecting to David’s social media and David Ellefson’s ROCK SHOP online.”

Pricing and availability will be announced soon.
