Want the ultimate mobile guitar and bass tone studio?
AmpliTube gives you a massive collection of virtual gear that you can use to practice, play and record with world-class tone anytime and anywhere.
Build your own guitar or bass rig with up to 6 stompbox FX, an amplifier and cabinet with mics. Plug your instrument into your iPad with one of IK's interfaces like iRig 2 or iRig HD 2, and get ready to be blown away.
AmpliTube CS gives you 7 stompbox effects, 3 amplifiers, 3 speaker cabinets and 2 mics, a free Loop Drummer Rock groove pack and a 2-track recorder.
You can expand this via a massive library of over 150 amps and stompboxes from top brands like Fender™, Ampeg®, Orange®, Mesa/Boogie®, and many more, or unlock the rigs of your heroes with gear from Slash, Dimebag Darrell, Jimi Hendrix, and Brian May.

Ratings and Reviews
Great idea but not convinced enough
Could have been great but get's overly concerned with making money. It offers nice features and a really plush interface which looks great on my iPad, but then comes the sting. You can buy individual effects pedals and amps or buy multi-pack deals, which are not too badly priced but they certainly add up. Then you can't use them on other devices, literally if you want to play with your iPhone, iPod-Touch or Mac-book version then you need to cough up for them a second, third and fourth time. Very disappointing since Garage band offers similar virtual effects and amp emulators for a fraction of the cost (free with your mac-book of course) and if you are going to pay over the odds you may as well buy Logic and have the whole shebang. A great idea ruined by greed basically. Not worth investing in the full paid version until they sort out the portability!
Does not work reliably with modern iPad Pro
Got this hoping I could use my iRig Stomp pedal board, but it only works about 1 time in 10,m if you’re lucky.
In theory, you’re supposed to be able to connect an iPad Pro via a USB-B to USB-C cable but, in reality, this will only work about 1 time in 10. The rest of the time, the iRig Stomp I/O will not recognise the device at all, and the app won’t let you add/edit pedals.
On the rare occasions it does work, the sound is incredibly tinny and poor quality compared to the desktop app.
If you were planning to use AmpliTube in a gig, reliability is paramount… which is probably why you never see anyone using it on stage (certainly not with an iPad)!
Clicks and Pops!
When you spend £30 for what is an over priced connector, it is bought in good faith, with the assumption that the software will work flawlessly. Unfortunately it does not. There is an intermittent pop/click which is annoying as hell. I'm running this on an iPad 2 with the higher latency setting so there should not be a shortage of CPU, and have tried placing the iPad in airport mode. Nothing solves the problem. It is a shame because the basic tone sounds quite good and convincing, but with the clicks it is a non starter. Until this is fixed I will stick with the amps from GarageBand.
