Practical UI – This app definitely passes the “master-it-in-about-5-minutes-without-reading-the-manual” test. I didn’t count them myself but according to their spec sheet, they will have 49 components available at launch: 12 amps, 16 pedals, 13 cabinets, and 8 mics. Sounds – AmpKit’s guitar tones are great! From crushing distortion to kooky tremolo, there are many tones to choose from and it is easy to navigate through the options with speed and efficiency.Ĭomponent choice – There are also many different virtual component configurations you can set up with the software. I was still able to get the thing to feedback once or twice, while I was goofing around with the noise gates! YOWEEE!! The circuitry of the AmpKit LiNK is powered by two AAA batteries and, according to their documents, this is what allows the device to simulate their high volume amps, accurately, without headphone feedback. A great idea indeed!Īnother key feature is its high volume simulation. You can instead take care of that afterward.

This way, you don’t have to worry about trying to click any virtual pedals on the iPhone during the act of recording.

It actually stores a second “clean” version of the track so that after you finish recording, you can change the effects coloring the guitar tone as often as you like. Re-amp is a feature of AmpKit that lets you simultaneously record your guitar/bass tracks with effects on and also with effects off. The video will also give you a chance to appreciate the sweet wood paneling that envelopes the walls of the music cave to which I am relegated for these reviews.

I am going to note a few of the key features, pros and cons here but feel free to watch my inordinately long video review below, to hear how AmpKit sounds.

It’s available for download starting today.ĪmpKit and AmpKit LiNK work together to add another fine option for people out there looking to play guitar or bass through their iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch). Most recently, this includes their new audio interface called AmpKit LiNK and also the accompanying iPhone amp modeling app, created by Agile Partners, called AmpKit. So where am I going with all this? My point is that, despite my flakey dislike of their logo and my shallow disapproval of their industrial designs, most of my functional experiences with Peavey gear have been good ones. A testament, in my opinion, to at least one era of quality and durability in their manufacturing culture. This cabinet is the “Rocky” of bass cabinets.

In the 20 years I’ve owned it, it has been dropped down stairs, flooded, barfed on, spilled on, surged…you name it. I love it because, despite all my attempts to destroy it-so a valid reason exists to buy a new, lighter cabinet-I simply have not been able to destroy the thing. I hate it becase it weighs well over 100 lbs. While I took the logo off it long ago, I have owned a Peavey 1516 bass cabinet for 20 years and maintain a love/hate relationship with it. And if that 80s retro logo, complete with pointy-angled letters, bestows itself upon your amp on stage it will either be a source of embarrassment or a badge of honor, depending on your design tastes and sound needs. In the course of any guitarist’s life, there will be some point where they come into contact with a product manufactured by Peavey.
