By recording a clean version, the app can allow the user to re-amp which means a different setup can be added without having to replay the lick. One version is what is heard through the AmpKit LiNK the other is a clean version. The app actually records two versions at one time. I was blown away by the quality of the recordings. Each recording will be saved under the My Recordings tab. The red button is indeed a record button! To record tap the button and wait until the timer begins then tap the same button to stop. The bottom left of this screen is, in my opinion one of the best features of AmpKit. The settings icon brings up options for the metronome and recording functions. Just below is the tuner which is great since tuning on the fly is possible by leaving it on. Set the bpm on the metronome with the dial provided. While a setup is open, tapping on the icon with a tuning fork and metronome will bring up some valuable tools. I now have endless effect possibilities and love it! Since the effects and amplifiers are patterned after real hardware, the sounds are genuine and accurate. To turn a pedal on or off, tap the button that would be stomped if it were a true pedal sitting on the floor. This feature alone means there really is an endless possibility of settings and sounds. Most of the amps have multiple channels for clean and lead as well as all of the other usual adjustment options. Tap on the knobs to open a new window and adjust all of the available levels. Each pedal and amplifier are completely customizable. All of these components add up to include 60 preset setups. These include, 12 amps with 20 unique channels, 16 pedals, 13 cabinets and 8 mics. ![]() AmpKit includes 49 total components which is larger than similar apps. First, this thing includes a possible huge library of amp and effect combinations. The true strengths of the app are the small hidden features. So far, we have seen a brief overview of how to navigate the application. In-app purchases from the Gear Store will help build the effects library and allow each guitarist to build their own unique sound library. ![]() The price is actually half the price of purchasing each effect separately. AmpKit+ is a paid application that costs $19.95 and includes three more amps, four cabinets and eight more pedals. AmpKit is a free app and will include the Peavey ValveKing amp with two cabinets and two pedals, two mics and a built in noise feedback filter. Two versions of the application are available. ![]() The latest release of AmpKit might just raise the bar even higher. Their applications have beautiful UI and are always polished quality apps. Simply plug in the AmpKit LiNK, fire up the AmpKit application and turn it to 11! Lets take a look at what this combination will bring to the table.Īs I stated above, Agile Partners has developed two of my favorite IOS apps with GuitarToolKit and TabToolKit. Together, this brings a full effects and amp studio with recording capabilities straight from the iPhone. Agile Partners, who has revolutionized the guitar app for the iPhone, is providing the software solution. In fact, I have a Peavey amp sitting next to me here in my office/guitar room. Peavey, who has been making quality guitar hardware for many years, has provided the hardware interface. Agile Partners, my favorite guitar app developers, has teamed up with Peavey Electronics to bring an all in one solution that turns the iPhone into a full functioning guitar studio.
