The iOS Amp Modeler App Thread!

[Ripper7620]

I run through my iPhone 4 when my iPad battery dies & my phones processor is just barely able to handle it. Most times it's fine but once in a while I get some major latency.

Threw the Dime wah in front of the Jam and it works great; little bit of noise with the boost on, but the noise gate fixed it. This stuff rules so damn hard.

 

[Deep Blue]

I might have to try making a clean wah or whammy patch on my RP250 and run it into the ipad... The whammy on the 250 is pretty decent if I remember right.

I seemly have spent a tonne of money on the AMPKIT with all the pedals/amps etc.

I see a lot using Jamxt and bias.

Whats better AMPKIT or Bias or Jamxt?

I play the high gain variety.

I have actually reverted back to my POD XT bean as my 7 string sounds like a bag of poo with the AMpkit.

 

[Deep Blue]

BIAS handily beats Ampkit in high gain sounds IMO. Then if you want some JamUp effects I'd just get the free version and buy the effects you want. BIAS is in a whole other league compared to my RP250, though your POD probably was too (I've never used a POD).

BIAS all day long. I just got the L6 Sonic Port - it SLAYS.

I've been considering to get the Apogee JAM and JamUP+BIAS instead of my iPB-10 but after little jam with both i still prefer the Digi; maybe not as good for recording but i prefer both the effects and the ergonomy of usage in the Digitech; it can work on it's own (without an iPad) as well. But for the price, BIAS is a hell of a steal for all the iPad users.

 

[leftnotright]

ok, I will give it a shot. I am using an Ipad, apogee Jam and KRK monitors...I'll start with the Bias I suppose.

 

[Ripper7620]

AmpKit+ is pretty good IMO, but jamup & bias are way more tweakable. I wasn't overly impresses UNTIL I started tweaking, now bias & jamup just blow my mind!

^ this
EXACTLY this!!

 

[leftnotright]

Ok so I got Bias/Jamup Pro.

Lots of tweaking in Bias, this will take sometime to dial in, but lots to do, which I like. Jamup seems kinda confusing to use, sometimes I lose the amp for some reason so it seems kinda flakey in that regard.

I will definitely DITCH AMPkit though. Ampkit reverb and delay is absolutely SHIT. The delay and reverb actually simulates not bad in JAmup.

Sadly I spent oodles of money on effects/amps in AMpkit. Wish I had known about Bias/jamup prior. Glad I got this , FAR BETTER VALUE within Bias.

Not sure if worth buying the extra add on or not, would like to see if others have any positives on the add on effects plugs (ie loomis overdrive etc).

I also use the Apogee Jam and wonder if the Jam 96k would make things less muddy and less digitally sounding ?

 

[Ripper7620]

I noticed Jamup sounds scurvy if I click on an add on amp I haven't purchased.

I may try that too......buy one just to see if there is a difference in sound.

Did a video using Jam Up Pro and my ARZ307 with a Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Black Winter 7 !

 

[ZXIIIT]

Sorry for the double post, but did a review on a Carvin PM15a Powered Speaker, great speaker to use with Jam Up.

 

[tripguitar]

So I wanted to know if anyone has this problem, seems to happen on JamUp patches with a large number of fx primarily...

I have an iPad Mini Retina, Line 6 Sonic Port, JamUp Pro XT, and BIAS.

Even when i back out of all my other apps, and put the ipad on airplane mode, i get some clicking and popping now and then. Its really annoying when trying to record, i have to hope that during my take it doesnt pop or click... and sometimes it doesnt... but like 40% of my takes are ruined by them. I suppose I could try turning off "ultra low latency" but then i find it hard to play and record accurately....

Any other tricks to reduce popping and clicking? It seems absurd that one of the most recent and powerful iPads out there has this issue... could it be my line 6 sonic port?

 

[Ripper7620]

Never had that happen unless the metronome was on.

 

[Steinmetzify]

Could be the SonicPort; don't know. Never had that issue with my Apogee, ever.

 

[Ripper7620]

Are you using audiobus, how many frames is it set at? Should be 256.

Found a cool backing track app called Epicland
