The i2M is a surprisingly effective little box for guitarists and bassists wanting to explore MIDI sounds without modifying their instrument. It’s a fantastic, affordable entry point into the world of MIDI guitar, especially for synth basslines and monophonic lead work. Just be aware of its limitations—it's not a universal solution for all instruments.
