Pros and cons of AmpKit - Guitar amps & pedals app for iPhone and iPad
AmpKit - Guitar amps & pedals app good for
it sounds great! easy to use! the amps do a good job in reproducting the original sound.
the only thing is that would be great to be able to put two record sesdions together. without that, the app is usefull just for practice, not to write stuff.
The things that i lime the most is how you can select effects in the app
Great sounding tool - easy to handle! Check it out! Rock on....Top
I am a big fan of guitar amp modeling technology. I bought the first Line6 amps, I owned several Pods and I use modeling software for my Mac on a daily basis so I have an extensive background for comparison.
I have to say I am really impressed with AmpKit and AmpKit LiNK.
When IK Multimedia came to market with their iRig + AmpliTube for iPhone solution I hesitated because I already read about the cooperation between Agile Partners and Peavey with their ostensibly superior hardware design and as an owner of Guitar Toolkit I knew that Agile understood a thing or two about user interfaces. But being the gadget freak that I am I couldnt wait and bought it.
When it arrived I hooked it up in excitement only to be completely disappointed with the way it sounded. Typically for IK Multimedia the interface was completely and utterly worthless but on the desktop version at least the amp sounds were decent.
Not so on the iPhone. It seems they tried to work around the feedback issues of their passive design of the iRig in their software by using heavy Noise Gate algorithms.
When AmpKit arrived in the AppStore I downloaded the free version to test it with my iRig. The clean sounds were already a LOT better than the ones AmpliTube was able to create but when I tried out the high gain settings the output signal became one big screeching noise. That was the moment I decided to sell the iRig and get an AmpKit LiNK instead. I never looked back.
By now I bought almost every pedal and amp model in their gear store and they all sound great.
Being the owner of both the infamous Marshall JCM900 and the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe I can testify that the sounds are spot on.
The collection of pedals available is comprehensive and the collection of amp models leaves almost nothing to be desired. I was especially impressed with the Peavey models and it seems that I undeservedly overlooked their amps for years.
The only piece of gear I really miss is a Tremolo pedal but I already sent a suggestion through their website and they were incredibly friendly saying theyll consider it for one of their future releases.
AmpKit is by far the best piece of software I ever bought from the AppStore. I really love it and have used it every day since.
Great ”sounds".
Reliable export.
Nice support.
Missing more tracks to record.
When playing around with MY presets, it overrides the original preset without asking first. (a safety issue)
Now with GarageBand having launched, its gonna be hard to compete. A direct file import into GarageBand with reliable tempos for synching issues would be a great first step!
For GUITAR one of the first and one of the best!
Must have for e guitar players, cool sounds, recording function, backing tracks (could be more though), function to send or add backing tracks.
Well done!
Some bad moments
Problem with restore purchases on app Ampkit on iOS 7, the next error.: "restore purchases Failed".
Seems fine but fails with powerful headphones that requires batterys (Beats by Monster). Plz fix this.
are you kidding? this sounds like crap!!! a tiny practice amp sounds way better than this. who cares if you can use it one your iphone? if you have room to take a guitar and pair of headphones somewhere you should have room for a little practice amp, and any practie amp out there sounds better than this: total digital harshness and cheap sounding. a waste of money!!!
Worked great for a few days. Even went and bought the Peavy link kit. Hooked it all up, Used it once. Sound was ok but then I shut it off and the next time I went to use it the app would open and then shut down right away. Gonna delete and try a reload. Oh the link kit seems a little cheap. Not impressed so far. Ive got other Peavey gear that Ive packed up and down the road for years and they are tough. Well see.
Sounds great but has not been updated in over 2 years except for bugs. They dont care about their customers or product anymore. Going to shop around for something different
Tried to contact developer three times without a response. DO NOT BUY!
