![]() ![]() Joel Kosche of Collective Soul said, "This thing is awesome! No more dragging around a bunch of different boxes and gadgets from hotel to hotel just to get a little practice in or record an idea for a song" and Jeff Klein of My Jerusalem commented, "Using AmpKit is like having a practice amp in your pocket at all times. Rotation Support for iPhone/iPod touch: You can now use AmpKit with your iPhone or iPod touch inverted which enables better cable routing in many instances.ĪmpKit and AmpKit LiNK launched in August 2010 to rave reviews from not only the music and technology press, but also artists. Recording Enhancements: AmpKit now provides an enhanced composite waveform that shows both wet and dry levels on the same display, and you can flick-scroll recordings. QuickJump: Jump easily from one favorite setup or preset to another without leaving your gear display. Setup Sharing, Favorites and Locking: You can now email your setups and presets, "star" your favorites, and lock setups to prevent accidental modification. Instant Access to iPod Music Library: No lengthy process here - just select a song from your iPod library and jam along instantly. Post-Amp Effects: You can now place pedals both before and after the amp in the effects chain, enabling major improvements in audio quality and many effects, including reverb and delay. The Power Pack: Six amps with a penchant for gain, plus eight additional gain and compression effect pedals. The Clean & Classic Pack: Six amps and eight effects pedals tailored for clean, vintage, and acoustic styles. The Effector Pack: 6 great stomp-boxes including delay, reverb, octave, tremolo, vibrato, and wah. In fact, you can buy almost every item in AmpKit's extensive Gear Store via these highly discounted bundles: Great New Ways to Buy GearĪmpKit 1.1 includes three new bundles featuring discounts ranging from 50% to almost 70% compared to individual component prices. Wahba Doo: Three wahs in one: envelope filter, auto-wah, and manual wah with accelerometer tilt support. Tremo-LOL: A great new Tremolo pedal with American and British tremolo modes in a single unit - an incredible value. Exciting New GearĪlready offering twice the gear of its closest competitor, AmpKit introduces three new pieces of amazing gear in Version 1.1:Īmerican Acoustic: Specifically designed for the electro-acoustic guitarist, this new amp has 16 built-in acoustic-friendly effects and an ultra-crisp PA simulation cabinet. AmpKit supports both Sonoma's AudioCopy/AudioPaste standard and Apple's General Pasteboard, for maximum compatibility with other iOS audio apps. You can also paste audio from other apps into AmpKit as either backing tracks or dry guitar audio. AmpKit users can now copy AmpKit recordings and paste them into other apps such as Sonoma's FourTrack and StudioTrack apps or Harmonicdog's MultiTrack DAW. Finally, AmpKit 1.1 demonstrates our commitment to expanding AmpKit's gear offerings, with three superbly executed new components: the American Acoustic amp and the Tremo-LOL and Wahba Doo pedals."Īudio Copy & Paste: One of the major new features in AmpKit 1.1 is audio copy and paste. "AmpKit 1.1 raises the bar in a serious way with a beautiful iPad interface and a ton of new features for all iOS users: post-amp effects which bumps up audio quality significantly, audio copy and paste which connects AmpKit with dozens of excellent iOS apps, setup sharing, direct access to music from your iPod library, and more. Among analog interfaces, Peavey AmpKit LiNK has fewer issues with feedback since it includes active circuitry to reduce crosstalk."This is a huge update to AmpKit," commented Jack Ivers, a principal at Agile Partners. Feedback is all too likely if the interface has issues with crosstalk. ![]() As with digital interfaces, some analog interfaces work better than others, especially with AmpKit's high-gain amps like the Peavey 6505+. If you use an older iOS device, such as an iPhone 3GS or iPod touch (3rd generation), digital interfaces probably aren't an option, so an analog guitar interface will be your best solution. Among digital interfaces, Peavey AmpKit LiNK HD provides a particularly rich set of features at a competitive price. On newer iOS devices, we recommend using a good-quality digital guitar interface, because a good digital interface greatly reduces noise and virtually eliminates crosstalk, both key characteristics especially when using AmpKit's realistically-modeled high-gain amps. AmpKit works with virtually all guitar interfaces available for iOS devices, including digital interfaces that connect to the 30-pin or Lightning ports on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and analog interfaces that connect through the headset port. ![]()
