JamVOX: Karaoke for guitarists

The JamVOX hardware lets you call upon the guitar-winged gods of rock to rain down a firestorm of fret-tapping fury! It's also a USB audio card.

Are you a guitarist with just enough talent to shun Guitar Hero, but too little to form your own Kiss cover band? Boy, do we have the product for you.

The JamVOX is a hardware and software combo that outfits your computer with a tiny, badass VOX amp USB sound card and a software package with virtual amplifiers and effects (ala Guitar Rig) that helps you mute or solo the guitar parts from your favorite songs. Basically, this thing lets you surgically remove your guitar heroes from their songs, and replace them with your own ham-fisted shred fest.

The JamVOX system is due out in September, with a suggested retail around $350. Video after the break.

Now this is guitar hero should be. Not some plastic controller wanna be rockers. I saw a bunch of kids playing the demo setup at the Frys store. THey were in sync but seemed their movement was like someone air guitaring. It was funny to see the kid trying to bend the buttons on his controller. Or this hit hitting hitting the drumms harder to get louder and all you heard was tapping. Lol
