Zound I/O — Play Your Guitar Through the Gibson App

A compact guitar interface that plugs directly into your instrument and connects to your phone, tablet, or computer. Zound I/O lets you hear your guitar through the Gibson App, with amp tones, effects, lessons, and monitoring—all without an amp.

The Gibson App is powerful on its own. Zound I/O takes it a step further by putting your guitar right into the experience, so you can hear yourself playing alongside songs, lessons, and backing tracks.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Plug into your guitar
Connect Zound I/O directly to your guitar's output jack. No guitar cable required.

2. Connect to your device
Use the included USB-C cable to connect Zound I/O to your phone, tablet, or computer.

3. Open the Gibson App and play
Choose your amp tone, add effects, follow a lesson, or play along with a song—with your own guitar heard in the mix.

PLAY WITH YOUR OWN SOUND

Zound I/O captures your guitar's real signal and routes it through the Gibson App, where it can be amplified and shaped with effects in real time.

When you're following a lesson or playing along to a song, you don't just hear the backing track—you hear your guitar, with your tone, in the mix. Practice becomes more immersive and feels much more like playing through a real rig.

JUST PLUG IN AND PLAY

Zound I/O connects straight to your guitar's output jack, so there's no guitar cable to carry around. One USB-C cable connects it to your phone, tablet, or computer, while the Gibson App handles the amp modelling, effects, and monitoring.

Whether you're practicing late at night, warming up backstage, or playing in a hotel room, Zound I/O makes it easy to plug in and play without setting up an amp.
