In case you guys weren't around last week, QJ.Net Forum resident Joel Van wrote a handy tutorial guide for turning the PSP into a portable guitar recorder. Among other important tools mentioned in the guide are Art's lteixeira Boom Headset modification, Art's Audio Mechanica homebrew application, and a 4 conductor 1/8 inch plug.

As a follow-up (or rather, a prelude) to that tutorial, Joel Van has just written up a guide for creating a universal recording adapter for the PSP. This new tutorial will enable the PSP to record "almost anything at CD quality into the PSP," as Mr. Van states - and yes, the PSP can still record guitar tunes. Now, before the guys head over to the PSP forums for the tutorial, you may want to have these items ready:

• A homebrew-compatible PSP
• PSP headphone remote
• A soldering iron, and soldering skills
• 1 x MONO Enclosed Shielded cable and 1 x Stereo Shielded Enclosed cable
• 1 x 1/8 inch 4 conductor plug
• 1 x 1/8 stereo female PLUG or directly wire a headset
• 1 x XLR female (universal adapter) or 1 x 1/4 Plug (guitar adapter)
• 1/4 PLUG
