Turn your iPhone/iPad into a guitar pedalboard & looper: effects, NAM A2 amp sims, multitrack looper, Sustain/Freeze, AUv3, drums & chords, tuner and practice tracking.
BlueLooper turns your iPhone or iPad into a guitar effects pedalboard and multi-track looper. Amps, effects, looping, backing and your practice log all live in one app, from daily practice to songwriting and the stage.
Connect an audio interface such as the iRig HD X and your device becomes a full loop station.
BlueLooper includes a high-quality amp simulator with support for NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) A2 models. Load realistic models captured from real hardware, combine them with the looper, and you have a complete guitar rig in your pocket. TONE3000 models can be browsed and downloaded right inside the app, and kept as favorites for quick recall.
You can also drop your own AUv3 plug-ins into the effect chain. Pick one from the list organized by manufacturer; even the knobs you move in the plug-in's own window are stored with your preset.
GROOVE gives you a two-lane backing section: drums and chords. Generate drum patterns from 10 genres — Rock, Pop, Jazz, Latin, Funk, Hip-Hop, Country, Ballad, Electro and Ambient — and set the accent of every step. The chord lane carries the standard progressions for each genre (I–V–vi–IV, ii–V–I and more): pick a key, a progression and a sound (Piano, Rhodes, Wurly, Organ, Pad) and you have an accompaniment to practice over on your own. LOOPER, GROOVE and GRAIN share one tempo, and switching SONG recalls the whole set for that tune.
Your practice time is logged automatically — there is no "start practice" button to press. It counts the time you actually played separately from the time it was simply open, and keeps the breakdown: what you played along to — LOOPER, GROOVE or the metronome — and which preset you used. Look back by day, week or month, with totals from all your devices combined over iCloud. The effect chain you were using is saved too, so you can call it back and play with the same tone.
A tuner, a metronome and a recorder sit in one panel you can open straight from the playing screen. The recorder captures the app's own output rather than the microphone, and can save it as a video with the camera picture.
BlueLooper also ships AUv3 plug-in versions of its NAM amp and IR loader, so you can use amp models and IRs directly inside compatible music production apps — verified with GarageBand and Cubasis.
Loading NAM models and IRs is a Premium feature. New users can try loading NAM models or IRs up to 10 times each for free before upgrading.

Great app for running NAM A2 with some great effects. I’m excited to see what else you build into it. Plugin support and MIDI control would be amazing!!!!! But even as it is right now it’s so good.

Developer Response
Muchas gracias por tu magnífica valoración. Y perdón por tardar tanto en responder.Desde entonces, hemos añadido también moduladores como el Flanger y el Phaser, así que no dudes en probarlos. Además, recientemente hemos incorporado la compatibilidad con los plugins AUv3, así que me encantaría que, si tienes algún plugin que te guste, lo combinases con ellos y disfrutases de la experiencia.
