charles ulbrich,
Until they update DO NOT BUY!!!
Bought the iRig Pro so I grabbed the amplitube app and all of the bells and whistle add ons (make sure you purchase these from within amplitube not separate or you can't use them with the amplitube and you waste your $$) and messed around with it to figure all the features out. I admit it's pretty easy to use, sounds great, and can be a great tool for writing and crafting your ideas anywhere on your iPad mini except one issue: recording! When you record as long as you never close out of the app or open any other projects you'll have playback and can continue to add your layers to the song, but the minute you close out or leave the project in any way and come back to it later your waveform is there but no sound! Opened a trouble ticket with support and was told they are aware of the issue and are in the final testing phase of an update that will correct the issue and to not change any of my recording or delete them as when the update comes out it will restore everything back to how it was. Sounds great, but when's the update coming? It's been a couple of weeks since I got that email and still nothing and if you knew the app was defective why would you continue to allow people to purchase it?? If this issue with amplitube gets corrected wow this is a great app for any musician but right now it's an overpriced metronome/practice tool.
Pedeclaudo,
Works Great, Sounds Great, Delivers
I have no idea what's up with these negative reviews. I re-downloaded this app on my iPad 4, and everything works fine. All of my in-app purchases showed up, the sound quality is excellent, and the new layout is pretty sweet. Okay, so they've made the in-app purchases more visible. Cool. I didn't know there was an OCD model, and I probably wouldn't have looked for one, but I sure am enjoying it. If you don't want to buy the extras, then don't—the app is well stocked from the beginning.
Look, by and large, I'm mild-weathered about IK Multimedia gear and software. They're okay, but usually nothing to write home about. The exception to this is their amp/effects emulation. I've been using everything from kidney-bean-shaped Pods to Eleven and beyond ever since this market opened up, and IK's Amplitube has always kept up with the competition.
There are a ton of amp/effects modeling apps out there today, and most of them are okay. What I love about IK and Amplitube is that you can count on them to be accurate. I wanted an amp that sounds like my Hotrod Deluxe Deville, so I bought one. Other than the fact that I can get amp distortion out of the app without hitting tinnitus-inducing SPLs, the emulation is perfect. It's your call, but I'd say this is among the most solid guitar apps you'll find.

rwindmann,
On the cusp of greatness...
I like the amp models better than Garageband and Line6 - I think they sound much better. However, this rig has way too much noise. I know it comes with a noise filter effect for free, but it cuts into the signal and tone too much. Please work on making this app more quiet. For jamming, this app gets 5 stars. But when you by the multi-track recorder, things go downhill. The recorder leaves a lot to be desired. I think everyone digs the analog retro visuals, but analog, linear tape-like recording is the pits. I believe every would rather have a multi-track/view workspace like every other recording app (Garageband, sonar, cubase, etc..) It is a stable app, but the few crashes I've had were when I was recording. I know the resource challenges you have with the hardware limitations of the iPad, so hats of to you for even attempting multi-track recording at all.
It would be neat if we could save the tracks to Drop Box or Mobile Me iDisk.
Everyone complains about their $20, but they don't understand what goes into making an app like this. $20 is a steal, I think it's underpriced. It's a substantial undertaking, and requires advanced programming talent - it's a bit more complicated than Angry Birds. Also, please ask the guys to offer the bass amp in the IPhone app!!!

Bevin2,
Finally! Beware of dreadful customer support though
This update was long coming, they promised it more than a year ago and I’ve complained many times about the lack of digital in/out. Even though IK Multimedia treats their customers like crap (they banned my account from the forums simply for implying that they purposely only supported their own hardware for so long), I have to say that this update is wonderful. The audio and amp simulation with AmpliTube through the IO Dock is the best of the all the apps out there and I’ve been trying them all. There’s something very warm and analog-like to their amp and FX simulations, something that’s sorely lacking from all the others (StudioDevil Guitar Amp excluded, but it’s got only one amp and one FX). The MIDI support of AmpliTube is also top-notch and I could instantly hook up my Voodoo Labs Ground Control Pro for patch changes and get the per-preset MIDI bindings work instantly. The master FX section makes a huge difference to me and the included compressor and EQ are well worth it. The multi-track recording finally gets really usable with the digital audio input, it’s just a shame that you can’t use it as a looper.
Finally, the retina graphics are amazing, Jamup looks nice in that department too, both are better looking than AmpKit.

Anorton,
Great sounds / Useless recorder
I've been an AmpliTube for iOS user from the very beginning. I still use the app for clean to overdriven sounds with the Fender amp models, which I like very much. I also love the red compressor as an effect on vocals through AudioBus into MultiTrack DAW, and there is some magic in the mastering compressor too. I have found the drum looper to be very useful as well. However, I'm very unhappy that IK makes no mention of the studio IAP not working well on an iPad 2. I get horrible stuttering and clicking, which never happened until I purchased the studio add on, which has made recording anything with the drum looper and 3 tracks or more of guitars/bass/vocals impossible. An IK tech support representative seriously suggested buying a new iPad as a solution for the stuttering. Can you believe that? I run 16-18 tracks (effects/plugins with tracks frozen) on Auria with no stuttering. MultiTrack DAW also allows me to run 24 tracks simultaneously without stuttering. The AmpliTube studio's track "freezing" doesn't help at all. iPad 2 users beware. I would be remiss if I didn't add that IK's shameless self promotion and advertising banners still pop up asking me to buy their latest apps and interfaces when I open the app. If IK is reading this, give us the option to disable the pop up banners. It could look something like this, "Don't show this again".
GadgetGeek314,
Best Amp App Available, yet. . .
I have purchased the full version of almost all of the other amp apps out there and this one definitely has the best tone. It also has the slow-down player, the tuner, visually is the most appealing and the easiest to work with, and has the 8 track recorder (for 15 bucks more). In a nutshell, incredible; However, I HATE that this company does not create a universal app for iPhone/iPod touch as well. They've thought of everything except how to truly take care of loyal customers. I don't mind how I've been 'nickel and dimed' into buying all the extras (with the new Fender version sounding best of all, really), but pay for them twice!? Really? Ampkit does the universal app if you were wondering.
Again, I have been swindled by IK Multimedia, as I just bought the VocalLive bundle. It clearly states that you get all the effects from VocalLive as an in-app purchase, way cool! But then you dish out the money and find out that YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE OF THE EFFECTS AT A TIME! Seriously? This should be made more clear. I bought it for pitch correction, de-essing, and harmonies at the same time, but no. I understand that this would take a lot of processing power, and that is why I thought it would be so great, ; the developers would have done an amazing thing, but they really didn't. Very disappointed. This should be made clear in the purchase or even the users guide.

Cncfrost,
Warning...
So the update is to sell you a "good" tuner. The app already has a tuner built in. This is the relationship they have with their customers. This app is okay to practice but not to record. A lot of background noise. You need to adjust your input in settings and your input gain on your iOS input guitar device to get rid of unwanted noise. Only 4 stomp boxes available at one time and the noise gate or noise filter is usually needed as one of them. Cannot put effects between the amp and cabinets.
For the warning....this app nickel and dimes you really bad. I get it to pay for extra amps and pedals but to pay extra for functions is horrible practice. This app is not universal. You cannot use this app on the iPhone. So for the same app you must buy it again! The only difference is the name, same app. You want MIDI control? Time to pay up. Want a better tuner, yup, pay up. Other apps provide universal availability, cleaner recordable tones, MIDI control, more versatility then this one. Look around before settling on any app you want your sound to become and what you are willing to pay for it. My wallet is lighter and I'm not happier. To me this one is NOT worth the prices they keep asking for. Again and again and again....

You cannot use this app on the iPhone. So for the same app you must buy it again! The only difference is the name, same app. You want MIDI control? Time to pay up. Want a better tuner, yup, pay up. Other apps provide universal availability, cleaner recordable tones, MIDI control, more versatility then this one. Look around before settling on any app you want your sound to become and what you are willing to pay for it. My wallet is lighter and I'm not happier.

SunnyandWil,
Fantastic easy to use, great sounding app at a fantastic price...
Yes it costs a little more than other iOS apps, but it's 1/4th the price of some of the physical pedals I've bought (& no longer bother to use) and way less than most desktop music apps. iPad makes it super simple to fine tune your sound, mixing and matching pedals (or buying new ones for the price of a bus ride).
Great tones, great variety, can take with you wherever you go and pull out to get the sound of playing through mucho equipment in seconds with no lugging around, setting up, finding cables, wall plugs etc etc... Use headphones or any stereo/amp/car stereo etc etc with a line in and get great sounds...
I am happy to be able to now record single track for those times when I hit on something and it just sounds right; and it's nice that there’s flexibility to add multitrack recording (again for the price of 2 or 3 beers), but I mostly used the older version, and will continue to use the update, for just amusing myself rather than expecting a full recording studio.

Digital Droo,
Could benefit from a couple added features
1. Noise Gate. Like some other reviewers who, like me, have a need for some shred tones, cranking up the distortion to acceptable "metal" levels results in a horrible noise floor. On the desktop side, this is alleviated to acceptable levels by the use of a noise gate. Such an addition to the iPhone/iPad version may quell some of the negative reviews regarding distortion quality.
2. Better presets interface. As it is, the presets consist of 12 blocks of numbers in a popup. I've learned only recently that *swiping* the presets popup reveals two additional banks of preset locations, for a total of 36. First, make it more obvious that there are additional banks (arrows?). Better yet, consider revamping the presets feature by letting users name the presets, so they actually mean something. Further, to make the app more suitable for live use, add a presets "room" or "screen" in which there are *only* presets buttons, and stuff required for live use, such as a master volume control, tuner...and maybe a wah pedal area (for those who are actually able to use the tilt feature while playing). Mostly, I'd like to name the presets. ;)

Menudo_,
It does what it says
This app is great especially for what I use it for. I too use it with the Alesis iODock and well it just works. The sound qualty is good for what it is and well it sure beats carrying all my gear around especially when just wanting to just practice with some friends locally. Though I've made a mistake of purchasing this one after having downloaded the Amplitude Free and purchasing the equipment using the in app purchase option. I guess each version is considered a seperate license? I thought it would have upgraded the free version to the full. Or perhaps have allowed me to imoprt the addons purchased from the free version in to this one, providing they are both registered under the same account. My mistake, not saying anything negative but be forwarned that your pruchased equipment will not be restored from the free version to this version at least from what can see. Again not being negative here just I just didn't know. But otherwise it works very well and does what it says, So far so good.....
Cheers!
Cheers!
