What's New in Version 1.3
RETINA GRAPHICS FOR NEW IPAD
- AmpKit leads the way again as one of the first guitar apps to fully embrace the new iPad’s Retina display.
- All of AmpKit’s luscious gear imagery has been re-rendered at full Retina display resolution.
- You have to see to believe: AmpKit on the new iPad looks and sounds amazing.
NEW GEAR & PRESETS
The AmpKit 1.3 Gear Store includes three great new additions, all available at special introductory pricing, as well as 14 great new presets.
World Class Bass Amplification: Trace Elliot 1215
- For the first time, iOS bass players can get a fully-featured, modern, world-class bass amplifier and cabinet!
- All the sophistication that bass players have come to love in the real Trace Elliot amps.
- Switchable valve (tube) drive circuit for fat bass distortion
- Single-touch Pre Shape circuit which delivers the classic Trace Elliot tone
- 12-band Graphic Equalizer tuned for bass frequencies.
- Dual-band compressor optimized for bass.
- All the tone fidelity you’ve come to expect in AmpKit.
- Convolution-based simulation of the 1 X 15 cabinet featuring a specially designed Celestion® speaker and high-frequency horn.
New Metal Pedal: Rocktron Metal Planet Distortion
- We love the tone on this versatile distortion pedal and bet you will too.
- True heavy metal distortion: not for the faint of heart.
- Unique mid frequency controls make it easy to duplicate the scooped heavy metal sound, or with a flip of the controls, modern rock tone.
- Amazing sustain and harmonics.
Beyond Quiet: Rocktron HUSH Noise Reduction
- Rocktron’s legendary HUSH noise reduction circuit, a standard for touring guitarists since 1984, is now available in AmpKit! If you aren’t using the HUSH, you aren’t using real noise reduction for guitar.
- When used properly, the HUSH will wipe out hiss and pickup buzz.
- The HUSH circuit, faithfully simulated in AmpKit, delivers 65dB of signal cleanup, while your music signal integrity remains unaffected.
- In other words, get rid of the noise without altering your tone!
- Also works great in tandem with AmpKit’s Noise Gate for ultra-high-gain setups.
NEW FEATURES
- Extended support for digital guitar interfaces.
- Updated headset input compensation to support the new iPad (3rd Generation) and iPhone 4S.
- On multi-channel amps, setups now save the settings for all channels.
Customer Reviews
Worth every penny.
I have Fenders, I have Peaveys, I have Marshalls, I store-bought and custom-made pedals and on and on. What I didn't have before this app was a way to take them with me. The Ampkit Link is better than the iRig for ease of use and sound quality and the app itself is better written than all of the other ones currently available. It works flawlessly and predictably. I have already tried the new Trace Elliot amp with my Mike Lull P4 (Death Cab For Cutie hand-me-down) tonight and it impresses me more than any of the amazing guitar amps I've been using since the app launched. I've actually played it live from an iPad thru FOH in a pinch one night when asked to get up and do something for a "guest spot" in a cover band. Good on Hartley Peavey for partnering with these guys. AWESOME engineering and manufacturing quality.
What they don't tell bass players is...
…the new Trace Elliot bass amp they make such a big deal about IS NOT part of the app - you need to buy it as an extra add-on! In fact, neither of the bass amps they offer come as part of the app. BOTH are extra add-ons.
That said, it is an excellent app which pretty much blows the others away. If you are a bass player though you should check out the Pocket GK app. Not nearly as full featured as this…but, it is modeled on the GK amp.
I was going to give it 4 stars BUT they lose a star for no free bass amps……….
Love it!!!
The app is incredible! This is the BEST amp modeling app available.
