![]() The phrase sampler can capture loops and riffs and create instant sound-on-sound overdubs, it’s the easiest way to create a one-person-band sound in minutes. JamUp is born with great “play along” capabilities. A fully drag and drop signal path allows you to easily try out different pre and post arrangements, it provides a great and flexible way to create your own tone. – Tone sharing to share and download artist and user presetsĮach effect module can be accessed with a simple touch, there’s no digging through menus, no learning process and no hassles. Powered by the newly developed multi-stage MESH Modeling engine, JamUp includes 6 historic amp models and 6 matched convolution speaker models, comes with classic and fuzzy stomp, spring and digital reverb, tangy modulations, tape and digital delays, filter, compressor, noise gate and other essentials. Positive Grid have thought about everything for this app. ![]() Because the AmpKit LINK connector is powered it handles feedback and crosstalk reduction better than the Griffin and iRig dongles, but in the end one is still left with a 1/4″ guitar cable and headphones connected to a little box connected to an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad and, frankly, it’s just no way to really rock and roll.JamUp is a guitar/bass multi-effect app, gives you a load of authentic guitar tones, sound-on-sound looping and 30+ modules right on your iPad and iPhone! JamUp is an iPadLoops staff favorite. And the AmpKit LINK dongle is the more robustly constructed connector of the three set ups we tried.ĪmpKit’s sound emulation is pretty fantastic, too, supporting up to 60 preset combinations available through three amp heads and four different cabinet combinations. Help and Info is very upfront about the possibility of feedback and instructive in methods for controlling it. The free version of the emulation app certainly comes with more onboard options than either iShred LIVE or AmpliTube and it supports more simultaneous effects than its competitors as well. The basic free version of the app includes enough to wet your appetite for tone, and the storehouse of additional amp configurations and effects that can be purchased in-app give AmpliTube a wealth of flexibility - as long as your musician hat has room for the audio-engineer’s head required to get the most out of this set-up.Īgile Partners’ AmpKit app and AmpKit LINK, made by Peavy, seemed at first blush the most promising of the three combos we tried. You can also create, save and recall up to 36 presets on the fly. ![]() iShred LIVE also includes a built in chromatic tuner, metronome, 48 preset slots to store sounds, and a music/loop player to help learn and perfect your music.ĪmpliTube features a chromatic digital tuner and a metronome and allows users to import and play along with songs or backing tracks with real time effects. Additional effects can be added through the built-in store for only a buck or two. It comes with three default effects: Buzz Kill noise filter, HK-2000 delay, and Q-36 flanger. In practice, what one gets is a frustrating tangle of incompatible impedances and an unwieldy mix of cords and cables that don’t connect well to one another, producing feedback and unbalanced output enough to make a totally acoustic approach seem eminently reasonable.įrontier Design Group’s free iShred LIVE app uses a cable manufactured by the venerable Apple third-party hardware manufacturer Griffin to connect real instruments to an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. In theory, what these apps make possible is nothing short of amazing: for the price of a $30 connective interface and a free (or nominally inexpensive) piece of software, would-be axe masters can embark on tone quests realizable in the real world only through guitar amps costing many hundreds and even thousands of dollars.
