![]() ![]() Songs are offered in the form of pedals adorned with album art, instantly achieving something close to the guitar tone heard on the record. ![]() The focus here is on recreating the tones of classic songs, rather than building a rig from scratch. Tonebridge is offered by Ultimate Guitar. ![]() Price: Free, with premium subscription for the full range of amps and effects. Unlike Amplitube or GarageBand however, there’s no mic simulation – so it might be a better tool for practising rather than creating ready-to-record tones. Presets are shareable as well, and the simple effects chain might prove a little easier to edit than something that’s integrated into a larger DAW. Its Android capabilities are impressive as well, with integrated latency mitigation doing its best to combat the issues that can arise with the OS. Compatible with both iOS and Android, it boasts an impressive collection of amps and pedals, arrangeable in a simple rig format. Deplike Image: Deplikeĭeplike is a more streamlined approach to the virtual rig. Price: Core app is free, with premium extra packages. For example, if you want to switch effects live – without taking your hands off your guitar – you’ll need the iRig Stomp I/O, which means you mobile rig becomes a fair amount less portable. Given the sophistication of the modelling on display, there are few downsides to Amplitube iOS, other than the ones inherent to any app-based rig. The latest update also comes with ‘live mode,’ a display which gives you the most information about what’s going on with your virtual rig, and gives you instant switching of your effects.Īs well as the house IK amps, there’s also signature packs on offer – modelling the gear of brands such Fender, Orange and Wampler and the rigs of Joe Satrianan, Brain May, and Jimi Hendrix. The app has an extensive library of amps, effects, cabinets and microphones on offer, all simulated in a virtual signal chain. IK Multimedia’s Amplitube is now in version four. Amplitube iOS Image: Ik Multimediaĭesigned to work with the iRig interface, Amplitube iOS was one of the first amp and effects modelling apps for smartphones. With something like an iPad it’s possible to run full-size interfaces on the go – but this won’t work with every app or device, and is less portable than the simpler guitar interfaces, most of which clip onto a mic stand or pocket. Other guitar-centric interfaces include the TC Helicon Go Guitar Pro and the Behringer Guitar Link. For portability, your best bet is something IK Multimedia’s iRig connector, a simple dongle with a USB connector on one end and a jack socket on the other. The second thing to consider before we launch into the list is an interface. So unfortunately, if you’re using an old android with a slower processor, there’s a possibility of noticeable latency as you play. Samsung Professional Audio, included in some Galaxy phones, allows for much lower latency when using various interfaces and DAWs – but this is limited to the highest-end Samsung phones. Due to how Android processes audio, major brands have steered clear of the platform when developing their software amps, so Android users do have fewer options. ![]()
