Needs AUV3 support for Logic Pro for iPad
This would be a great plugin as an AUV3 with support for Logic Pro for iPad!
JRSIV1975,
The work ikMutimedia put into the app has really started to show...
I bought this app in 2015 & upgraded it to the full version in 2016. I’m writing my review on this CS version since I can’t write it on the full version. After getting the Slash, Hendrix & Orange packs I liked Amplitube, but preferred ToneStack from Yonac. The tones were okay but just too fizzy & digital for my tastes. I saw Greg Koch demo the Fender 2 collection on the desktop version of Amplitube and immediately wanted it for this iOS version. When it arrived I was blown away how far the emulating tech had come, and using the Fender 2 pack is a joy. I’m not saying the older amps aren’t usable; there are several amp/pedal combos from the earlier packs I’ve made good presets with. But the Fender 2 stuff is just in a different league. As I write this in mid April 2018 there’s a bundle sale going on, if you haven’t tried the app or Fender 2 I really recommend it. I’m no cork sniffer when it comes to amps, i.e. they must be tube, 50 years old, wrapped in tweed, etc. but I have a late ‘60’s Deluxe that this app comes very close to the ballpark indeed. Especially just a SM57, close mic’d rhythm tone that cleans up with some volume backed off...they’ve really captured that mic’d guitar amp tone. Highly recommended.
Spyrojoe,
Stop trying so hard to get me to buy stuff!
Look guys, you have an amazing app here, but the barrage of upselling makes me not even want to use it. I know you guys need to make your money, but the way you're going about it makes for a terrible user experience. The ad that displays when you load the app is annoying, but at least it gets out of your way reasonably quickly, but having the "record" and "studio" buttons in the bottom toolbar is about the most inconvenient thing I've ever had to put up with in an app. The toolbar buttons are small enough as it is, and shoving two more buttons in it for functions I don't even want make navigating the app a nightmare. The fact that I get a message asking me if I want to buy if I accidentally hit one of those buttons is even more offensive. If you're keeping count, that's 3 extra steps I have to go through every time I accidentally hit the "studio" option. One tap to get into it, one tap to cancel the purchase, and another tap to get back to the section I wanted to access to begin with.
I've already dropped quite a bit of cash on Amplitube purchases, and I would love to keep throwing money at you, but the upselling is so pushy that I really don't even want to mess with it anymore. I'm still giving you 3 stars because your emulation is great and you give me tons of options, but your UX is tragic. Seriously, this is freshman-year-design-school stuff, and there's really no excuse for it.

About "Crap" litube
I just started playing around with the iPad version after working with the Mac software. So far, I am having great luck with everything that I have tried on the iPad version.
From my short experience thus far, the "problem" with importing from iTunes is not that it locks you out. The "Done" button does not highlight after you select a song from your iTunes library. Select a tune and go ahead and press the still grayed out "Done" button. For me, at least, the song is converted to WAV format and loads right into Amplitube.
I own several homes and taking my iPad, iRig and a few guitars to move around and simply write and rehearse is much easier than dragging a practice amp and a load of pedals. I have even quit bringing along the DigiTech and Korg modelers!
Not sure about the problem with the sound through a "good" set of headphones mentioned above. Everything sounds great through a set of Bose noise canceling 'phones!
As for the effects being applied to tunes being played and not just the guitar, the effects are only applied to the signal coming in throughout the "jack". Tracks that I have imported from iTunes are unaffected while my guitar plays as dirty as I care to make it. Again, just MY experience but it has been a good one!
I am giving this a 4 star vs. 5 only to leave myself room to be even more impressed as I use it a bit more!
Give this free software a try ... as "Bluto" said in "Animal House" ... "it don't cost nothin'!"

Digital isn't there yet
I had high hopes for the convenience and fun of these amp sims, but they sound so digital, no life, no sustain, completely uninspiring. I tried a free version of Guitar Rig last year, can't say this has improved at all to my ears, but you might find these sounds useful. Using the iRig module is very noisy, although somewhat better with the amp modules in GarageBand. But the tone is such a turn off, I would rather practice without any amp or sim, than be exposed to the mojo-wilting effects of digital sims.
My best advice if you want something portable that sounds great is to find a used Zoom PS-02 or similar device and use that with the aux input to practice. I play mostly jazz and blues and get some great tones out of it, enough that I dont at all mind using headphones to practice along with backing tracks, Aebersold, Slow Downer, etc.
Amps sims might be okay if you like to crash along, strumming alt rock or death metal, but I imagine even people with those tastes and any degree of exposure to high quality tube amplification will find themselves uninspired. Line 6 sounds much better than this or GarageBand, but still not as organic as Zoom, IMO. But, still, must for practice.

K3RTW,
Keep an open mind here
I have read a number of reviews complaining about the cost of the stompboxes and effects and that the company just wants your money. Keep an open mind when trying an app like this. You get all kinds of great functionality for pennies compared to what it would cost in real hardware. There is no comparison. I like Fender amps so I bought a bundle of them. I needed a set of the typical effects (delay, chorus, overdrive) and was set with about $15 out of pocket. I needed an octave pedal, got one for another $4.
Also, do yourself a favor and check out the videos of pros using the app. There is a good one for the Stomp IO that gives away a couple tips that are worth your time. For example: dime the volume on a Fender Twin Reverb and get all the tone and gain w/o killing your ears or your audience’s ears. I always complain that I can’t get my amp up loud enough to really get the tone I want. Well, now I can.

transcendentalaccidentalism,
Working like a charm.
I added the 5th star from 4 after getting back into tracking.
I need to get used to the varying degrees of gain staging again. It's been awhile since I've used amplitube and it seems like the signal is either really hot or not hot enough, especially if I'm trying to record any clean tones. Seems like that's because there's some discrepancy between levels at all stages of the signal path that don't necessarily end up at the same levels that they initially sounded like.
With an initial line in, then an amp level, then your effects that can drastically effect your levels, the track volume level, and the post effects effects level (without compression I lose lots of volume here) there's a lot of staging.
But that's just something to get used to and I haven't even checked the forums to see what might be protocol.
Bottom line is I prefer the UI over any other ios multitracking app and the effects sound much more like effects .. they can get noisy, but that's not a big deal either.
(I'm a big fan of using the looping feature for accidental tracks also)
Thanks again for getting the cloud iap thing worked out. That's what I was trying to do last time I used the app, but it sounds like any and all bugs have been squished.
ITS ALL GRAVY.
THANK YOU AMPLITUBE!
As promised the 5th star.

LOVE IT!!!
Amplitube is just what I needed. I got an irig HD and Amplitube with in-app purchases. At first everything started to add up quick with the irig HD for 100 then amplitube with professional sounding amps and pedals I spent about 60 bucks for the amps and pedals so altogether $160 for everything. Now I don't need a jam group I just go to buzz tube app and look up a blues 12 bar backing track or jazz, rock, ect. And jam anytime with just my iPad and irig / Amplitube and guitar and if I want to sound louder or just better quality I plug in my Computer speakers to the iPad, and even at night with my head phones. I recommend this app for anyone who loves guitar but can't pay thousands for good guitar equipment like Orange, Fender, slash and Jimmy Hendrick's amps and special effects pedals. I'm using an old electric guitar that a friend gave me that sounds horrible through my cheap Amp but sounds amazing through Amplitube!
NoDoodle,
Worthless Crap App
I went all in, the idea was nice but the app is useless. Every time they do an update you lose all of your purchases, their support is non existent and a huge waste of time. What I got was more or less tough luck, you'll have to buy them all over again. I bought the I stomp box, it too is junk. Don't use batteries, it burns through them in no time, comes on by itself and eats the battery. Junk, just like the app, and once they have your money you are out of luck. The sound, when it did work, was below average, nothing to write home to mom about, if I were Slash or any of the other big names who have signed on with these losers, I would think twice about being part of this sham fest. I have lost a ton of money on the in app purchases and the stomp box. If I can save one person from having the same experience, then writing this review was worth it. Oh and if you want this on your iPad and touch you have to buy each in app purchase all over again. What a bunch of thieves!one more thing. They only post the 3 or 4 good reviews, never the ones that tell what a scam this is.

Awkward first time user experience, annoying UI
I bought an iRig HD 2, which includes access to a pro version of AmpliTube. The audio quality is good, but the setup UX leaves much to be desired, and the pedal selection tool is annoying.
Complaint #1:
I followed the getting started guide that came with the hardware, and was disappointed by my initial experience with the app. After far too long, I discovered that I was not signed in to for the pro version. An indication that I was on the free tier would have saved me some trouble. Even better would be if the app had detected the device, read the serial number, and automatically signed me in. This brings me to complaint #2.
Complaint #2:
Once I signed in, I had to manually enter the serial number. It was easy to copy-paste from the website, but this should have been auto-detected. This sort of gaffe is okay in a startup, but IK Media is too mature for this sort of sloppy work. Fix it.
Complaint #3:
I cannot see which pedals I have purchased and which I have not until I click on them. This is annoying. A lock/unlock icon or a way to list only those effects which I have purchased would reduce this friction.
Once the app is running, I am happy with the audio quality, but I cannot forget how annoying it was to set up. I am reluctant to buy new effects due to the clunky pedal selection tool. The hardware is great, but I am on the hunt for a better app.
