Hi,
I've got a question about the Fender Slide iOS interface and I don't know if it's operator error or if something is truly wrong with the unit.

I'm trying to use it with GarageBand and am having the following problems.

1. The headphone/speaker jack does not have any sound. None. (Yes, I'm certain the plug is fully inserted. The only way I can hear sound is if I plug the headphones into the iPad headphone jack.

2. The unit seems to be silent unless the dial is fully clockwise. Basically it's "all or nothing".

I've tried to update the firmware but the Mac OS X file is corrupted and crashes when it is unzipped. I've emailed Fender about this but have had no response.

I bought this device about 18 months ago. I played around with it and put it in the drawer with my other guitar related crap and forgot about it. So the warranty is long gone by now.

If the device is faulty, is it worth repairing/replacing? I mean to say, if you have one, would you want another one or would you try something different?

Thanks for your help.

Given Fender's track record with stuff like FUSE, and given the competitive nature of the iOS prosumer music creation market, I'd recommend getting something else: an IK iRig HD, or an Apogee Jam, etc. I've used both of these and they work great, and as a bonus they can also be used with a Mac as well.

Perhaps a call to Fender Tech support will get quicker answers.

I've never used or tried one.
