Marky206, Great amp emulations, greedy IK Multimedia First the good – the quality of the amp emulations, and some of the effects is okay. We are talking seriously expensive purchases, so expensive it’s as if someone at IK has had the concept charge for little bits of software as if it was real hardware. The old bundle, which I have seen in the ancient past reduced to about £24, is now £100. Exactly the same content. Even this vast amount of money does not buy you the full range, there is actually no ‘all-inclusive’, it’s now divided into various packages all far too expensive and risky. Even the basic app is crazy expensive to have the iPhone and iPad version.
With precisely the same features on both. This is disgraceful, and something which I'm sure Apple should clamp down on. Although the interface is obviously slightly different on both, purely because the iPad has more real-estate, it's obvious that the same coding is used in various parts of the interface on both platforms.
You are continually being bombarded to pay money for new bits and pieces while using the app and having already paid for some the extras. And IK multimedia wants to try to charge you more money for everything. For example, you want to choose a different amp simulation that you have already purchased, up comes the list PLUS all the available amps you haven't. If you make the mistake of accidentally clicking on one you haven't bought yet, and up pops a pop-up with the $ sign. This kind of annoyance exists in various places within the app, and is a continual irritation.
You want something as simple as a another metronome sound? You've got to pay for it. You want some more drum loops? You've got to pay for them. And none of it is cheap enough to make it practical. Part of my reservation in paying more is purely that there seems no limit to this companys greed.
I could go on and on, but the whole of the app and its implementation does leave you with a bad taste in your mouth like you've been ripped off by a second hand car salesman.

Omegary, Beware V2.2 crashes on start up - an update An quick update to my previous review. I emailed the developers about V2.2 crashing on start up and got the following reply. 'Sorry to hear about your troubles.
Try this: Click on your Home button to go back to your main iPad Home page. Double-click on the Home button. This will show a small list of apps on the bottom of your screen. These are the apps that are open and running in the background, in multi-task mode. This may be taking up resources on your iPad that are preventing AmpliTube from opening properly. To close these apps, hold down any app icon until the apps on this list start to 'shake'.
You will see a RED minus sign over each app on this list. Click on the red minus sign until you close all of the apps running in the background. Once you are done closing the apps, click on the Home button again, and try re-launching AmpliTube.
If this doesn't help, try turning the iPad off and restarting it. Do this by holding down the power/standby button until you see a red slider that says: 'Slide to Power Off'. Move the slider and wait until the iPad turns off completely. Wait 10-20 seconds, then turn the iPad back on. Try launching AmpliTube again to see if this helps.'
Closing down all the apps running in the background and re opening AmpliTube worked for me and it's now back to it's 5 star best: ) Hope this helps others who are having the same issues.

JRSIV1975, The work ikMutimedia put into the app has really started to show. I bought this app in 2015 & upgraded it to the full version in 2016. I’m writing my review on this CS version since I can’t write it on the full version.
After getting the Slash, Hendrix & Orange packs I liked Amplitube, but preferred ToneStack from Yonac. The tones were okay but just too fizzy & digital for my tastes.
I saw Greg Koch demo the Fender 2 collection on the desktop version of Amplitube and immediately wanted it for this iOS version. When it arrived I was blown away how far the emulating tech had come, and using the Fender 2 pack is a joy. I’m not saying the older amps aren’t usable; there are several amp/pedal combos from the earlier packs I’ve made good presets with.
But the Fender 2 stuff is just in a different league. As I write this in mid April 2018 there’s a bundle sale going on, if you haven’t tried the app or Fender 2 I really recommend it.
I’m no cork sniffer when it comes to amps, i.e. They must be tube, 50 years old, wrapped in tweed, etc. But I have a late ‘60’s Deluxe that this app comes very close to the ballpark indeed. Especially just a SM57, close mic’d rhythm tone that cleans up with some volume backed off.they’ve really captured that mic’d guitar amp tone. Highly recommended. Developer Response, Thanks for your review!
Glad you are enjoying the new Fender 2 Collection!:) - IK Multimedia Team. JRSIV1975, The work ikMutimedia put into the app has really started to show.

K3RTW, Keep an open mind here I have read a number of reviews complaining about the cost of the stompboxes and effects and that the company just wants your money. Keep an open mind when trying an app like this.
You get all kinds of great functionality for pennies compared to what it would cost in real hardware. There is no comparison. I like Fender amps so I bought a bundle of them. I needed a set of the typical effects (delay, chorus, overdrive) and was set with about $15 out of pocket.
I needed an octave pedal, got one for another $4. Also, do yourself a favor and check out the videos of pros using the app. There is a good one for the Stomp IO that gives away a couple tips that are worth your time. For example: dime the volume on a Fender Twin Reverb and get all the tone and gain w/o killing your ears or your audience’s ears. I always complain that I can’t get my amp up loud enough to really get the tone I want. Well, now I can.

I added the 5th star from 4 after getting back into tracking. I need to get used to the varying degrees of gain staging again. It's been awhile since I've used amplitube and it seems like the signal is either really hot or not hot enough, especially if I'm trying to record any clean tones. Seems like that's because there's some discrepancy between levels at all stages of the signal path that don't necessarily end up at the same levels that they initially sounded like. With an initial line in, then an amp level, then your effects that can drastically effect your levels, the track volume level, and the post effects effects level (without compression I lose lots of volume here) there's a lot of staging. But that's just something to get used to and I haven't even checked the forums to see what might be protocol.
Bottom line is I prefer the UI over any other ios multitracking app and the effects sound much more like effects. They can get noisy, but that's not a big deal either. (I'm a big fan of using the looping feature for accidental tracks also) Thanks again for getting the cloud iap thing worked out. That's what I was trying to do last time I used the app, but it sounds like any and all bugs have been squished. ITS ALL GRAVY. THANK YOU AMPLITUBE!
As promised the 5th star. Developer Response, Thanks for your review! The app now supports iCloud transfers of your in-app purchases, so there is much greater flexibility in your purchases now. Glad to hear you are enjoying the app again!
