AmpliTube Fender™ for iPad

What's great is there is no latency issues whatsoever, however I keep getting a buzz, much like over modulation, that I can't seem to get out. I tried adjusting the input, the output, but no luck. The effects are decent, not much difference with the distortion pedals. However, the noise reduction and the phaser sound great. Perfect for recording when you get an idea you want to keep, or just to have fun with whilst camping. Not for producing quality songs!

The Free app is not the same as the full app and if you buy an add-on in one it doesn't appear in the other. I had downloaded Amplitube iPad Fender Free. I bought the recorder from inside the app. As many have noted, if you buy from the Fender App forget about all the other options. So I wrote about switching to Amplitube iPad Regular - I'm still waiting for an answer from IK Multimedia. In the meantime, I decided to download Amplitube Fender for iPad in order not to have "free" in the icon of the App anymore. It turns out that in fact it's a completely different app and in fact I bought stomp boxes and such for another $14 or such. Meanwhile, the 8 track recorder I bought in the free version does not appear. This multiplication of apps is really confusing.

Won't work with iOS 8.1. Extremely disappointed. Audiobus will not initialize...

I really loved this app on my iPhone. It was the FIRST app I purchased for my iPad 2, which I was planning to use with an Alesis Io Dock that I bought at the same time as the iPad. What a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! I found out AFTER purchasing AmpliTube Fender that the app only works using the audio jack and not the 30 pin connector, which is what the Io Dock uses. For more than 15 MONTHS IK Media has been claiming that they will SOON support the 30 connector, which they have failed to deliver. And not even a single mention of this issue in the specs. It has become obvious that they have no plans to support the 30 pin connector as all of their hardware connects using the audio jack. I've given up and bought Garage Band for iPad that works with the Io Dock and even has a bigger install base and better support. Do yourself a favor and pass on any IK Media apps. They jut don't care about their customers. Too bad, I really liked the app, but lack of 30 pin support makes it a BIG FAIL!

I wish I paid closer attention to the last version update date when I purchased this with the full Amplitube bundle. Although the main/original Amplitube app was updated in Oct 2014, the Fender, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, and Orange versions have not been updated and are not iOS 8 compatible. Also, this bundle of separate apps makes no sense. Yes, the Fender, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, and Orange versions are separate stand-alone apps, instead of being in-app purchases within the main Amplitube app, which would make much more sense and be more useable. They've made it impossible to mix and match the amps, cabs, and effects between them. It's also a bit of a ripoff that the bundle does not include the multitrack recorder, and if you want it, you have to purchase it separately for each of the Amplitube apps. Given how happy I've been with other IK MultiMedia products, like the iRigs, of which I own 3, the Amplitube family has been a bit of a disappointment.

Just gotta tell everyone out there on the fence about this.... GET IT.... You won't regret it. I play Bass and like many of you, I was looking for the cheapest way to play through my iPad and possibly through my HTPC and my Amps, with the ability to choose between 100's of tones. My experience with iRig and my iPad3, has been nothing short of great! IK has been making pro quality equipment emulation software for a long time. This is incredibly cheap for what your getting. Their desktop version goes for $350....so....this is pretty cheap. If you make sure the noise filter is on, it really is as clean as a sound as I would get going straight through my Warwick or Ampeg combos. BIG thing I would like to tell people who are having noise issues and or volume issues. First, for me, phones straight from the iRig was decent enough, again....especially with the noise filter they provide. Volume really is fine, considering you can do easy damage to our ears with Bass sound. BUT....when I spent a few extra bucks on a cable solution that fed from the iRig, straight to my Sound Cards mic port in my PC (1/8 to RCA ----> RCA - 1/8 Y adapter ----> 1/8 16ft extension)....a miracle happened....almost all noise gone....and enough CLEAN volume to destroy your hearing. Headphones or my 7.1 PC speakers....the sound was AWESOME!!!! Plus....the amps and effects of this Fender pack is KILLER. A TON of great sounds...and the '59 Bassman is wicked 🎸 For $80, I got the iRig...Fender Amp pack, cables and adapter to hook to my PC....and a great set of JVC headphones... 😍 Yeah....the Apogee Jam is better, but it's also $100... You would still need to buy cables and apps etc.... This to me was the way to go.... Bottom line....GET it.... But I highly recommend to spend a few bucks and get the cables needed to essentially use your computers sound card as a preamp....then use your headphones through your PC. Easy 👍. Noise and volume problems are non-existent after that. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

This app lacks any chorus or flanger or other in-app purchase options! Except for the $15 8-track recorder I went ahead and bought... Hope the dev returns my email and updates the next version. Apparently if I bought amplitude normal version I could have fully loaded it via in app purchases for the same cost I already paid plus the $20 for amplitude

Real easy to use! Turned my old guitar into something special :]
