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.

I will be honest, I haven't recorded anything with it yet. But the US sales team has been awesome! I have worked with them a bit making sure I get what I need and they have been very helpful. I have had this software for awhile now and it's been great, no issues, no delays no static. I have known some local guitar players to use this on the stage live. For what this software delivers you can't go wrong and the price is awesome compared to some pedals I own that are $350 and more and take up allot of space. I sold them off and just use this now and used the trade in to get another guitar :) Oh and I did contact technical support and they did get back to me with in 24 hours as stated. So maybe it's the reviewers attitude that's the reason he didn't get a response. I have used both the original IRig which did record at a lower quality and then the new IRig 2 HD. The new one connects a heck of allot better in my opinion and does offer a much higher quality of sound. Also wanted to add I have tried about 7 apps or so that do the same thing and this one by far is laid out the best and the easiest to us. Also it is maintained while some on the App Store shouldn't even be allowed to be sold. I don't work for IRig I just had to review because of the low score and the fact that from what I have used thus far, its a much better product than the others on the App Store including garage band.. lol.. wonder if some of the negative reviews aren't from other companies trying to boost their product? Wish we had an open forum would love to talk to the people with issues.. PEBCAK maybe? Can't wait for a David Gilmore Set!!

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.

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!!!
