Pretty much all of the effects sound great and the amps do exactly what they are described as in the selector.
The auto-wah, on the other hand works great. It’s a little garbled sounding but it doesn’t make it any less fun. You enable it and as you move the device back and forth, it works just like a wah wah pedal does. One of the coolest things that really gives people that I’ve shown this to is the wow factor is the Wah Wah stomp. You can even have 4 delays if you’re into that sort of thing. You simply click above each of the attractive looking stomp boxes and you can change out your signal chain. ALSO….Will a Line 6 Pod do THIS?Īs you can see the interface is extremely easy to use. well minus the cost of a of either an iPad, iPod Touch, or an iPhone, but lets face it… you either probably already own one. The Pod X3’s are nice but you’re looking at $340 and I think Amplitube sounds just as good if not better for $300 cheaper…. Trust me I owned a Pocket Pod and it’s not very user friendly and the distortion sounds like… well have you ever heard one of those Honda Civics the young kids like to put loud exhaust on? Yea… like that. I know you’re probably not crazy about buying an app twice for each device, but think of it this way, the cheapest POD is $130 and that thing is a hard to use piece of crap. I think the reason is because they’ve already released Amplitube 2.0 for iPhone but not yet for iPad. With most apps, if you buy the iPhone version, you don’t get the iPad version with it and vice-versa. Now there’s one issue that is kinda a bummer. You can buy other amps and stomps with the a-la-carte in app store, but would you really want to do that when you can just pay 20$ and get 11 stomps, 5 amps and cabs, and 2 mics.
Amplitube 3 review free#
The free edition of Amplitube comes with 3 stomps, 1 amp and cab, and 2 mics. There are a few different versions and thing you need to know before you go jumping in and just getting the free version. No word on if they have Auto-tune for guitar so you better go ahead and bank on having to practice those chops. They’ve launched a site within the app where you can buy more effects, so now you can customize and tweak your tone to near unrecognizable proportions. Look at all of those different types of effects, and there’s more to come. IK Multimedia has you covered with this! Amplitube. Ok just chill, you’re getting that twitch in your eye that creeps me out.
Amplitube 3 review how to#
“But Bryan, so far you’ve told us how to hook it up and I’m sitting here rocking out like you said, but my iPad isn’t doing anything.” I really had to crank it when I hooked my computer speakers up to it, but in headphones, you won’t have that much of a problem. My ONLY wish is that they fit it with a very small pre-amp to boost the sound. Simple enough right? At $40 you can’t beat it. Now all you have to do is grab the six string, (0r 4, it will accept bass too) plug it into the iRig, plug the headphones in, and rock out. Now you’re probably asking, “how do you get sound OUT of it.” Answer: Easy, they’ve fitted a headphone jack to the top of the iRig. It utilizes the input / output jack on the iPad or iPhone and adapts a standard 1/4 inch instrument cable so it can plug into the headphone jack of either device. There’s nothing really you can say bad about it. This device is a prime example of how something so simple can change the way we use another device. I have a very strange feeling you have both, but here is what I would recommend.įirst we have the iRig. Well, first off the signing off with the love thing is kinda weirding me out but I’m glad I prevent you from assaulting yourself at work and your home life sounds incredibly… soo incredibly… sad, but I do have some suggestions for gear providing you have either an iPhone, or preferably an iPad. Do you have any suggestions of equipment I could use with my guitar that is extremely portable? – Love, someone DEFINITELY not named Bryan. Sometimes when living at my moms (I’m 44) gets a little on the tense side when her boyfriend Charles is over, I like to travel. You are my rock and the only thing keeping me from jamming my scissors in my eyes when I’m at work. I have never seen someone write such stupidity, then turn around and pair it with sheer brilliance. So the day before I put out THIS gift idea post, the site gets and email from a very strange guy so I figured featuring a review on the iRig and Amplitube will take care of what you guys might be wondering about the iRig and Amplitube – Is it worth the money?ĭear Bryan, I think your site is interesting.
