Don't know if this is the best place to put this, but here it is: The Hosa Drive.

It’s an inexpensive ($30 street if you shop around) rechargeable Bluetooth 4.0 audio receiver that basically lets you turn anything with an audio input jack into a Bluetooth player.

Super handy for wirelessly pushing a jam track into the AUX jack on an amp or wherever. No need to tether your smartphone or get a special cable for your iPhone since Apple no longer provides a mini TRS audio jack. The Hosa ships with a mini-stereo plug, but it works with a mini-to-phono converter plug equally well if a 1/4” jack is all you’ve got.

We leave one plugged into a small Orange Crush so a guitar or jam backing track actually sounds more like a guitar by virtue of it being played through a guitar amp.

Ours sees regular use.

Highly recommended. :thumbsup::)
