Apple iPad and IK Amplitube iRig owners will glad to know that the Amplitube App for the iPad is now available from the Apple iTunes App Store and, like iRig Amplitube for iPhone,  it is free (but with more amps and effects models available to purchase – totalling 23). The iPad version not only includes all the great features of the iPhone version, but also adds an additional effect to the chain, enabling you to use up to four simultaneous live effects, which is more simultaneous effects than most multi-effects pedals can handle.

There are up to 5 amp models to choose from (clean, crunch, lead, metal, bass) that offer full tonal and drive controls, 11 stompbox effects (delay, flanger, phaser, overdrive, distortion, filter, wah, fuzz, octaver, chorus and noise filter), 5 cabinets (1×12”, 2×12”, 4×12” A & B, 1×15”) and 2 microphones (dynamic and condenser). All rigs can be easily organized/recalled on the fly with the available 36 presets.

Additional functions like the tuner, metronome and backing track player in the AmpliTube for iPad version app improves guitar practice, performance and playing skills. During play, the tuner remains engaged for tuning at any time without the musician taking their hands from the guitar. The backing-track player with loop-points is also included to allow the import of audio files as backing tracks to play with, plus, the included metronome has the ability to keep the player in time during practice and play-along to increase overall performance skill.

The iRig interface adapter is the easiest way to get your instrument’s signal into your iPad with electrical impedance adaption essential for getting the best guitar tone. And not only does the iRig work perfectly with AmpliTube apps, but it is also the perfect companion to any other guitar or other instrument recording, processing or tuning app that uses an audio input signal on the iPad.
