Hi Chris, I have tried several of these apps, fortunately, the one that I think has the most realistic sounds and the most versatility is the most accessible. AmpKit is the free version which has three different distortion peddles, two are very ordinary, but it will give you an idea of its accessibility and versatility. It also has one or two other reverb and I think delay peddles, but its description on the app store will clear this up. You can either buy add ones (amps, peddles and mics to add to the free version or purchase AmpKit plus which has a lot of the good stuff included by default. You can hear a sample of the add-on from within the program, so you can determine if it's something you wish to purchase.
I do advise reading the manual available from within the program to get an understanding of what the app can do and how to go about doing it. It's really quite versatile allowing you to choose and configure your various peddles, amp, cabinet and mic, you can also toggle off the amp and mic and just run a virtual peddle or two. The app allows you to record yourself, which is great for capturing ideas you come up with on the spur of the moment. It does include some ordinary backing tracks that you can jam along with, but you're better off deleting all of these and uploading your own to the app. It also supports background playback, so you can close AmpKit and bring up your music app and play along with whatever you have in your library. The only part that is inaccessible, but usable is the speed slider for the metronome, this isn't seen at all by VoiceOver. However, if you know where it is onscreen, you can double tap and hold, then drag the slider to adjust the speed. Fortunately, VoiceOver does see and read the current tempo, so you can easily tell when you have successfully changed the tempo and to what speed you have set it to. You will of course need a guitar adaptor which will allow you to connect your guitar to your iPhone. Hope this helps, Brett. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris Smart Sent: Monday, 12 November 2012 6:11 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Guitar Apps? Hi folks. Have any of you tried Amplitube, Digitech iStomp, or any other amp and effect modellers for the IOS devices? I'm wondering if any of them are at all accessible. thanks Chris -------------------------------------------------- CTS MASTERING, affordable and professional mixing and mastering: http://www.ctsmastering.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/CTSMASTERING BLOG: www.ctsmastering.com/blog Linked In: http://ca.linkedin.com/pub/chris-smart/46/824/536 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
