Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

How do you prefer to get the sound out of your iPad and make it loud?

1/4" out from audio interface> channel of 16 track recording deck> powered Yamaha monitors> loud sound.
depends on what I'm doing. Usually similar to ben (CCK->Audio Interface...->Monitors) but I like to put it through my guitar amp sometimes too. Very different sound—mono, rolled off highs and lows and slightly more aggressive/in your face (with the amp on a fairly vanilla setting).
how do get it into a guitar amp? what adapter? still using the headphone out?
It depends what outputs you have on your interface and what inputs you have on your amp.

I usually go CCK->Audio Interface->1/4" cable->Guitar Amp. Usually the interface is turned way down to keep from hitting the guitar amp too hot. I have a passive DI box that I used to use for reamping from my DAW but I haven't bothered with it. Sounds fine for what I'm doing. If you only have a guitar amp and you're trying to eek as much sonic 'purity' out of it, you can buy a passive DI for <$50 and run it in reverse (iPad->DI output->DI input->Amp input).
Headphone would work too but not as well. You'd need a 1/8" Stereo to 1/4" mono cable or Y adapter or something.
@flo26 plugs into guitar amps. What do you use?
