If you want to connect your guitar to a computer for recording or to access software amp simulations, then you’ll need a guitar audio interface.
Now, while there are plenty of them available out there, apart from including a Hi-Z input (which you’ll need in order to plug in a guitar), few manufacturers of these boxes add features that are directly of benefit to us guitar players. One exception is IK Multimedia, which has a range of audio interfaces that are tailor‑made for guitarists.
