I've been getting into the digital amp game lately. I'm currently in love with BIAS FX. It's awesome for recording, but now I am looking into using it for everything.
I've tried plugging my iPad into our PA for band rehearsals lately, but it was extremely difficult to get a loud enough sound without clipping the signal from the iPad. I was thinking of using it with a real cab similarly to how bands like Periphery use the Axe-Fx with a real cab. You can turn off the cab simulation in BIAS FX, so I'm assuming it was intended for cab capability.
I plugged the iPad into my Orange 2x12 closed-back yesterday. It sounded really good, but it was still very quiet, even with the iPad volume maxed out. What can I use between the iPad and the cab to increase the iPad's signal, or what is a better solution? I'm using an iRig HD into an iPad mini 2 with a headphone-1/4" cable. I've also plugged it into my Vox AC-15 combo and turned off amp simulation completely and was able to get a loud enough sound. Obviously, having a preamp there increased the sound, but I don't want to just use the Vox preamp all the time. I want to be able to use all the amp simulators while using just my favorite Orange cab, though. I always use the Orange 4x12 sim in BIAS FX, anyways.
tl;dr What can I use to increase my iPad's output to use with a cab?
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
