I've never used one, but that looks like for just screwing around, are you trying to get a decent sound?
Recording live instruments is the only thing you need real studio equipment for anymore these days because it's still hard to a get a good recording of a live instrument or vocal. Everything else you can make sound professional at home with a computer, except the the live instruments and vocals.
That iRig will not give you a professional sound or even close. If you are just laying down scratch tracks or goofing around, it will work fine as long as it's compatible with the software you choose. But if you want a sound that is similar to commercially produced stuff, you will need a quality pre amp to plug the guitar in or actually mic an amplifier, which is much harder but will produce a better sound. A lot of the "shredding" you hear in guitar playing is in the sound coming from an amplifier, you can't get that with a software amp model.
