4 best iOS-application, which will replace the guitar amp

I recently spoke about How to connect an electric guitar to the iOS device. However, I did not immediately come up with the idea that if you are not familiar with the variety of applications that simulate the guitar amp, choose the best of them will be difficult.

Semi-professional music software is not sold for a dollar or two - all of the applications are from $ 5 and up to infinity. Therefore, the wrong choice will cost you much more expensive. I will talk about the top three guitar amps in the App Store and the app that I prefer.

Just specify that all applications (except for Garage Band), which I'll have both a paid and free version. But free versions are trimmed so that the use of them - hell, and you still have to purchase the PRO version.

Best Guitar Amplifier - JamUp Pro XT

It is a pity that I came to this application, having tried all the others. I find it right away, I would have saved a lot of money. Developer JamUp - Company Positive Grid, which may be known guitarists its desktop application BIAS.

JamUp costs $ 5, and with the help of built-in shopping you can spend tens of dollars to buy amplifiers, effects and lotions. It is said that paying for an application to purchase additional amplifiers are not necessarily standard list is enough.

In addition to amplifiers, in an application, you can download music from the iOS Music Player for jamming, tune a guitar built tuner, recording Party (8 lanes) and enjoy sharinga section where other users post their presets. Also there is a looper that can record any reef and impose on him the other parties.

Second place - AmpliTube

AmpliTube not won first place for many reasons. First, the price. Unlike JamUp, the app costs $ 20 and would be okay there was no built-in shopping, but they are no less than JamUp. And about the same functionality. For $ 20 you get access to a tuner, metronome, a limited set of lotions and amplifiers and handheld studio, allows you to record and edit a melody quite simply.

Second, the interface. AmpliTube looks congested, even on the iPad, what can we say about the iPhone. I advise you to buy this application only if you do not like JamUp.

Third place - Garage Band

Epplovsky Garage Band - this is still the standard for all musical applications. This is the best application to record songs on the iPad, but, alas, not the best amp emulator. Here is a small list of effects and an impressive list of amplifiers. But the benefits are divided about the lack of function "Monitoring". It allows real-time to listen to what you play, that is, does the same thing as the previous application.

The problem is, that enabled monitoring function badly distorted sound and do nothing can. At the Garage Band 2 main advantages:

1. If you are doing music, it probably already bought Garage Band. Therefore, if you are satisfied with the sound of a guitar connected to it, you do not need to buy other applications.
2. Edit and manage audio tracks are most convenient.

Therefore, if you do not want to spend the extra $ 5 or even $ 20 on a guitar amp, the Garage Band can replace him.

Fourth place - AmpKit +

AmpKit +, too, is worth $ 20 and has the largest catalog of amplifiers available immediately after purchase. You can also purchase a dozen other amps with built-in purchases. The last place on my list, he took only because wild feedbacks. I do not know if it's the fact that I do not use their adapter and iRig connected, but fidbek that appears when the game is almost drowns out the sound of the guitar.

Apart from this, the application is on a level with the AmpliTube, but loses JamUp due to huge price.
